Background and study aims
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is closely related to the viruses that cause chickenpox and mononucleosis (mono). CMV infections are very common, and most of us will probably have one in our lifetimes.
CMV is one of the most common infections that affect people with a solid organ transplant (SOT). The goal of this study is to describe the treatment patterns and outcomes of CMV in about 400 SOT recipients globally who required treatment for the management of CMV.

Who can participate?
Records from patients that were over 18 years old at the time of the SOT and subsequently were diagnosed with a CMV infection.

What does the study involve?
The study will use the healthcare information that has already been documented from January 1, 2014 (until no later than determined at site level) related to the SOT, CMV infections and outcomes including: hospital visits, clinic visits, written follow-up notes, drug treatments, tests, and procedures. This observational study uses records from routine healthcare. Thus, the results of the study are not expected to be directly or immediately relevant to patient care and will not be shared with each research participant.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
This is a retrospective observational type of study so there are no physical risks that will result from taking part in this study. Taking part in this study has the very low risk of personally identifying information (PII) being accessed by unauthorized people (i.e., individuals who are not part of the study team). To reduce the risk of sharing PII with unauthorized persons, patient identifiers will be removed before being used in research so as to maintain confidentiality and privacy protection. None of the research data will enable identification of individual patients. It is expected there will be limited or no direct or immediate benefit to participants.

Where is the study run from?
Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd (USA)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2019 to December 2021

Who is funding the study?
Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd (USA)

Scientific titleMultinational CMV Outcomes, Treatment Patterns and Healthcare Resource Utilization Study (OTUS) Following Solid Organ Transplant (SOT)
Study acronymOTUS SOT

Ethics approval(s)Approved 06/10/2020, Yorkshire & The Humber - Bradford Leeds Research Ethics Committee (NHSBT Newcastle Blood Donor Centre, Holland Drive, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4NQ, UK; +44 (0)207 104 8085; bradfordleeds.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 20/YH/0288
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCytomegalovirus infection in transplanted patients
InterventionThe study will use the healthcare information that has already been documented from January 1, 2014 (until no later than determined at site level) related to the SOT, CMV infections and outcomes including: hospital visits, clinic visits, written follow-up notes, drug treatments, tests, and procedures. This observational study uses records from routine healthcare.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measurePatient outcomes measured using patient records:
1. Number of CMV viremia episodes
2. Time to CMV viremia clearance and control
3. Incidence and time to CMV recurrence
4. Incidence of tissue invasive disease, CMV syndrome, graft rejection, graft loss, anti-CMV treatment-related myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity, or CMV resistance
5. Overall survival
Secondary outcome measuresPatient outcomes measured using patient records:
1. Frequency of first-, second-and third-line anti-CMV therapies, duration of therapy and time to second-line (or third-line) therapy; time to incident CMV infection and treatment initiation, viral load at time of treatment initiation or switch; medication utilization.
2. Patient pre-transplant characteristics: demographics, transplant indication, viral coinfections, significant comorbidities, underlying immunodeficiencies; Clinical / transplant characteristics; Risk factors for resistant/refractory/intolerant CMV
3. Inpatient/outpatient healthcare utilization; length of hospital stay; diagnostic tests; CMV resistance testing; anti-CMV toxicity management.
