Study Summary

This trial is studying a vaccine that may help reduce CMV complications in patients who have had the virus before and are having a donor hematopoietic cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with certain blood cancers or disorders who've had CMV and are undergoing a donor bone marrow transplant. They must understand the study, agree to follow-up procedures for a year, be willing to use contraception, and not have received specific treatments that affect the immune system or CMV within the last 6 months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if a vaccine made from weakened virus MVA carrying small pieces of CMV DNA can reduce complications from CMV in those getting bone marrow transplants. Participants will either get this experimental vaccine or a placebo to compare outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions at the injection site like pain and swelling, flu-like symptoms such as fever and fatigue, allergic reactions, and possibly others depending on how individuals respond to vaccines.
