Twenty-one pediatric liver transplant recipients were enrolled in a study comparing prophylaxis followed by preemptive therapy (10 patients) versus preemptive therapy alone (11 patients) for prevention of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease. In the prophylaxis arm, patients were treated with ganciclovir for 30 days, then preemptive therapy was initiated with virologic monitoring for pp65 antigenemia. In the preemptive therapy arm, patients were treated on reaching 100,000 DNA copies/mL whole blood. An interim analysis showed that, although numbers of both infected and treated patients were comparable in the two arms, the median number of total days of antiviral therapy per patient (30 vs. 18, P<0.01) was significantly higher in the prophylaxis arm. No case of HCMV disease occurred in either arm. Therefore, the trial was interrupted and prophylaxis replaced with preemptive therapy alone. In parallel, the development of T-cell-mediated immune response was found to be comparable in both arms.
