  • Preemptive CMV Prophylaxis in Renal Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus Immunosuppression Reduces Cytomegalovirus Infection.
  • Standard Dose Valganciclovir Prophylaxis for High-Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients Reduces Incidences of Breakthrough and Resistant Cytomegalovirus Infection.

Purpose: Preclinical studies indicate an anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) activity of the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTORi) everolimus (EVR), but data in pediatric renal transplant recipients are lacking.

Methods: In the framework of the Cooperative European Paediatric Renal Transplant Initiative (CERTAIN) Registry, we thus analyzed the impact of EVR-based immunosuppressive therapy on CMV replication and disease in a large cohort (n = 301) of pediatric kidney allograft recipients.

Results: The EVR cohort (n = 59), who also received low-dose ciclosporin, was compared with a control cohort (n = 242), who was administered standard-dose ciclosporin or tacrolimus and an anti-metabolite, mostly mycophenolate mofetil (91.7%). Multivariate analysis revealed an 83% lower risk of CMV replication in the EVR cohort than in the control cohort (p = 0.005). In CMV high-risk (D+/R-) patients (n = 88), the EVR-based regimen was associated with a significantly lower rate of CMV disease (0% vs. 14.3%, p = 0.046) than the standard regimen. In patients who had received chemoprophylaxis with (val-)ganciclovir (n = 63), the CMV-free survival rates at 1 year and 3 years post-transplant (100%) were significantly (p = 0.015) higher in the EVR cohort (n = 15) than in the control cohort (n = 48; 1 year, 75.0%; 3 years, 63.3%) .

Conclusions: Our data suggest that in patients at high risk of CMV infection the use of EVR and low-dose ciclosporin is associated with a lower incidence of CMV disease compared to a standard-dose calcineurin inhibitor-based regimen.
