CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccination

Placebo-Controlled and Randomized Phase 2 Trial of CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccination in HLA-Matched Related Stem Cell Donors to Enhance CMV-Specific Immunity and Prevent CMV Viremia in Recipients After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

What's the purpose of the trial?

This phase II clinical trial tests how well the cytomegalovirus-modified vaccinica Ankara (CMV-MVA) Triplex vaccine given to human leukocyte antigens (HLA) matched related stem cell donors works to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The CMV-MVA Triplex vaccine works by causing an immune response in the donors body to the CMV virus, creating immunity to it. The donor then passes that immunity on to the patient upon receiving the stem cell transplant. Giving the CMV-MVA triplex vaccine to donors may help prevent CMV infection of patients undergoing stem cell transplantation.

Experimental Treatments

Learn more about the experimental treatments being evaluated in this clinical trial.

  • Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant is a type of stem cell transplant that utilizes a donor's pre-collected stem cells to rescue the bone marrow from the toxic effects of very high dose chemotherapy.
  • CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccine is an experimental vaccine that researchers hope will help to protect allogeneic stem cell recipients from the CMV virus. 
  • Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor is a glycoprotein used to stimulate the bone marrow to help with granulocyte and stem cell production.
  • Placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect and can be used as a control in testing new drugs in clinical trials.
