Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most common infections that affects people with an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Allogeneic stem cell transplantation involves transferring stem cells from a healthy person to the patient’s body after high-intensity chemotherapy or radiation. The aim of this study is to describe the treatment patterns and outcomes of CMV in about 400 HSCT recipients globally who required treatment for the management of CMV.

Who can participate?
Records from patients who were over 18 years old at the time of their HSCT and who were then treated for a CMV infection

What does the study involve?
The study will use the healthcare information that has already been documented from 1 January 2014 (until no later than determined at site level) related to the HSCT, 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, so the results of the study are not expected to be directly or immediately relevant to patient care and will not be shared with each participant.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
This is a retrospective observational study so there are no physical risks that will result from taking part in this study. Taking part in this study has a 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. 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)

ConditionCytomegalovirus infection in transplanted patients
InterventionThe study will use the healthcare information that has already been documented from 1 January 2014 (until no later than determined at site level) related to the HSCT, 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 measure1. Number of CMV viremia episodes measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
2. Time from HSCT to CMV viremia measured using patient records
3. Time to CMV viremia clearance measured using patient records
4. Incidence and time to CMV recurrence measured using patient records from CMV index episode until the end of follow-up
5. Incidence of tissue invasive disease measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
6. Incidence of graft rejection measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
7. Incidence of post-HSCT non-CMV infections requiring intravenous (IV) treatment or hospitalization, measured using patient records from transplant date to 365 days following the last PRRI CMV episode or until death (whichever occurs first)
8. Incidence of anti-CMV treatment-related myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity or other toxicities, measured using patient records from the first CMV episode until the end of follow-up
9. CMV resistance measured using patient records from the first CMV episode until the end of follow-up
10. CMV-associated mortality measured using patient records
11. All-cause mortality measured using patient records

*Time of follow-up: at least 365 days after being designated as refractory, resistant or intolerant for the first time or until death, whichever comes first.
Secondary outcome measures1. CMV prophylaxis and pre-emptive therapy, management of CMV reactivation/recurrence, measured from transplant date until the end of follow-up
2. Frequency of first-, second,- and third-line anti-CMV agents, measured using patient records from the first CMV episode until the end of follow-up
3. Time from HSCT to incident CMV-specific anti-viral therapy, measured using patient records
4. Viral load measured using patient records at transplant date and from 14 days prior to the start through the end of CMV episodes or until clearance
5. Medication utilization measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
6. Demographics, diagnosis, transplant procedure, clinical, prior transplants, transplant indication, HCT comorbidity index comorbidities and score, prophylactic immunosuppressive regimen, measured using patient records at a pre-transplant time
7. Viral infections and prophylactic/treatment immunosuppressive regimen measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
8. Viral infections, incidence and time to acute and chronic graft vs host disease (GVHD) and immunosuppressive regimen, measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up
9. Inpatient healthcare utilization, length of hospital stay, cause of hospitalization and number of outpatient clinic visits, measured using patient records from transplant date until the end of follow-up

*Time of follow-up: at least 365 days after being designated as refractory, resistant or intolerant for the first time or until death, whichever comes first.
