Key Developments
Major institutes are focused on launching various programs focused on R&D activities related to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. For instance, in August 2019, The UW Program for Advanced Cell Therapy (PACT) launched first-in-US cell-therapy trial for kidney transplant patients that will deploy virus-specific white blood cells for the treatment of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after kidney transplantation.
Moreover, in January 2019, a team of researchers from Lions Eye Institute (LEI), a medical research institute affiliated with the University of Western Australia, discovered a new method to prevent reactivation of CMV in mouse models by injecting them with their own antibodies. The research is expected to offer a new strategy to control CMV reactivation in humans.
In November 2018, a study by University Children’s Hospital Tuebingen, Germany — published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases of Infectious Diseases Society of America— found that short-term pasteurization of breast milk prevents postnatal CMV transmission in very preterm infants.
