Clinical trials

This study is a randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, dose-ranging trial of the efficacy and safety of IV artesunate in combination with IV GCV or oral VGCV and SOC treatment compared to GCV or VGCV monotherapy and SOC treatment in SOT recipients with clinically significant CMV infection.

This is essentially a laboratory study that is an addendum to an ongoing prospective Phase 4 multicenter observational study titled: "Safety and Efficacy of Artesunate in Pregnant Women and Infants (ARTEMUM)" being conducted in France. Infants, the parents of whom provided consent to have data collected from their child as part of the ARTEMUM study, will have an additional blood sample collected when other standard of care blood specimens are collected during the 2-day period after the start of intravenous (IV) artesunate treatment. A maximum of 4 samples will be taken and plasma will be isolated and stored frozen until analysis for plasma artesunate and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) concentrations. Red blood cells will also be frozen for further analysis (for example Kelch-13 mutations). In addition, a standard of care blood sample will be collected approximately one month post treatment for clinical laboratory tests.

This study is a prospective observational study in which a female patient who received IV Artesunate while pregnant can volunteer to provide information about her pregnancy and the outcome of her pregnancy. Information will be collected from patient's provider, the patient's obstetrician, the child's pediatrician, or other relevant healthcare provider.
