Summary

This trial will test if lab test results can safely reduce the time patients need to take a medication to prevent viral infections after a lung transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have had a lung transplant at NYU Langone Health, possess immunity to CMV (R+), and can consent to participate. It's not open to those who received anti-thymocyte globulin, underwent perioperative desensitization, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The study tests if monitoring the immune response to cytomegalovirus (CMV) using the inSIGHT™ CMV T Cell Immunity Panel can guide how long patients take valganciclovir after a lung transplant, potentially reducing treatment duration.
What are the potential side effects?
Valganciclovir may cause side effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, shaking chills; potential risks of blood cell count changes leading to infections or anemia; and it could affect kidney function.
