Summary

This study investigates the impact of letermovir prophylaxis on viral infections (including CMV, EBV, BKV, HHV-6/7, RSV, ADV, HSV, etc.) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients with EBV-associated T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases and refractory/relapsed EBV-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Additionally, we examine its effects on other transplantation complications, including engraftment failure, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), disease relapse, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), overall survival (OS), post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) incidence, and immune reconstitution.

Conditions

  • EBV-associated T/NK-cell Lymphoproliferative Diseases
  • Refractory/Relapsed EBV-related Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
  • Letermovir

Interventions

DRUG

Letermovir

Arm 1 (Letermovir Prophylaxis): Pediatric patients receive oral letermovir once daily from day 0 to day 100 post-transplant. Prophylaxis may be extended to day 200 if high-risk factors persist (steroid use, poor immune reconstitution). Dosing: 480mg (≥30kg), 240mg (15-30kg), 120mg (7.5-15kg), 80mg (6-7.5kg); halved if co-administered with cyclosporine. Arm 2 (Control): Historical control cohort (2018-2023) receiving no routine CMV prophylaxis; preemptive therapy with ganciclovir/foscarnet initiated only when plasma PCR exceeds threshold.
