HSCT and CMV background

HSCT patients are at risk for CMV reactivation and associated mortality1,2

All CMV-seropositive recipients [R+] are at high risk of CMV reactivation1

CMV infection has been shown to occur after allogeneic HSCT in approximately 60% to 80% of CMVseropositive patients without CMV prophylaxis3,4

Any level of CMV has been associated with increased risk of mortality in the first year post-HSCT2

HSCT patients with any positive viremia had 2.6 times greater risk of overall mortality than patients with no viremia up to 60 days after HSCT2

CMV Viral Load as a Time-Dependent Risk Factor for Mortality 1 Year After HSCT (n=926)2,a

Prevymis - HSCT patients are at risk for CMV reactivation and associated mortality

Results from a large, retrospective, noninterventional cohort study of previously collected CMV viremia and clinical outcome measures (n=1037)2

CMV reactivation can occur as early as the day of transplant5

More than 30% of HSCT patients who were CMV-seropositive or had a seropositive donor had CMV infection within 1 month post-transplant2

Incidence of CMV Reactivation in HSCT Patients Who Were CMV-Seropositive or Had a Seropositive Donor Through 12 Months Post-Transplant2

Prevymis - Incidence of CMV Reactivation in HSCT Patients

Results from a large, retrospective, noninterventional cohort study of previously collected CMV viremia and clinical outcome measures (n=1037)2

CI, confidence interval

Viral load was a threshold variable. Data were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional modeling.2
