A Study of the Use of Quantiferon CMV Blood Test to Find the Length of CMV Prevention in CMV Donor (+) / Recipient (-) Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Overview

About this study

The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of the QuantiFERON-CMV test in solid organ transplant recipients on CMV prophylaxis to predict development of CMV disease after completion of prophylaxis. Our hypothesis is that in CMV D+/R- solid organ transplant recipients, the development of immunity as measured by a positive QuantiFERON CMV assay will predict a lower risk of CMV disease after prophylaxis is completed.
