A Study of Valcyte (Valganciclovir) CMV Prophylaxis After Renal Transplantation

900 mg valganciclovir, taken orally once daily, adjusted to renal function starting within 14 days of transplantation until Day 100 after transplantation.

If plasma polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ≥ 400 CMV copies/millilitre, then 1800 mg valganciclovir per day adjusted to renal function for at least 14 days until the second negative PCR (below 400 copies/ml) followed by secondary prophylaxis for 28 days with 900 mg valganciclovir adjusted to renal function. If CMV disease or no response to valganciclovir treatment after 14 days (not falling viral load), then intravenous (IV) ganciclovir or additional appropriate therapy could have been administered according to the local site's standard, instead of valganciclovir.
