New Indication for Prevymis to Prevent CMV in High-Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients


Originally published by our sister publication Infectious Disease Special Edition

The FDA granted a new indication for letermovir (Prevymis, Merck) for prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in high-risk adult kidney transplant recipients.

High-risk patients are cases in which the donor was CMV-seropositive and the kidney recipient was CMV-seronegative (D+/R-).
