ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cytomegalovirus-specific T-cell-mediated immunity (CMV-CMI) protects from CMV infection in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), but to date, there is no validated measure of CMV immunity for this population.METHODS:
In this prospective, observational, pilot study, CMV T-cell responses were evaluated monthly and at onset of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or CMV infection in CMV-seropositive allo-HCT recipients using a commercial flow cytometry assay, the CMV inSIGHT T-Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP). The primary endpoint was the time to first positive CMV-TCIP, defined as percentage of interferon-γ-producing CD4+ or CD8+ CMV-specific T cells >0.2%. Letermovir was prescribed from day +10 to ≥100.RESULTS:
Twenty-eight allo-HCT recipients were enrolled. The median time to first positive CMV-TCIP result was earlier for CD4+ (60 days [interquartile range, IQR 33â148]) than for CD8+ T cells (96 days [IQR 33â155]) and longer for haploidentical and mismatched transplant recipients (77 and 96 days, respectively) than for matched donors (45 and 33 days, respectively). CD4+ and CD8+ CMV-CMI recovery was sustained in 10/10 (100%) and 10/11 (91%) patients, respectively, without GVHD, whereas CD4+ and/or CD8+ CMV-CMI was lost in 4/6 and 2/6 patients, respectively, with GVHD requiring steroids. As a predictor of clinically significant CMV infection in patients with low-level CMV reactivation, the sensitivity and negative predictive value of CMV-TCIP were 90% and 87.5%, respectively, for CD4+ CMV-TCIP and 66.7% and 62.5%, respectively, for CD8+ CMV-TCIP.CONCLUSIONS:
There was significant variability in time to CMV-CMI recovery post-HCT, with slower recovery after haploidentical and mismatched HCT. CD4+ CMV-CMI may protect against CS-CMVi, but immunity may be lost with GVHD diagnosis and treatment.Palabras clave
