Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of maribavir for the treatment of CMV viremia and CMV disease refractory or intolerant to conventional antiviral drugs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of CMV viremia and CMV disease refractory or intolerant to conventional antiviral drugs after allo-HSCT treated with maribavir at Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital from April 2024 to September 2024.Result:A total of 25 patients received maribavir, including 21 haploidentical transplants, two sibling HLA-matched transplants, and 2 HLA-matched unrelated transplants. Among them, 21, 2, and 2 patients received the first, second, and third transplants, respectively. The median time to the onset of CMV viremia and CMV disease was 120.5 (6-298) days post-transplantation. The median peak plasma CMV copy number was 6 400 copies/ml (range: 1 100-650 000 copies/ml). Six patients were diagnosed with CMV disease. Maribavir was administered after a median of 9.5 (1-41) days after CMV infection. The median duration of maribavir administration was 11.5 (6-43) days. Post-treatment, maribavir was effective in 25 (100%) patients. Two patients experienced grade 1 taste abnormalities, and one patient experienced grade 2 myelosuppression.Conclusion:The application of maribavir after allo-HSCT for treating refractory, drug-intolerant CMV viremia and CMV disease is safe and effective.
