This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with breast cancer, progressive brain metastases, and positive CMV blood testing. At least one progressive brain lesion must remain untreated by radiation.
The idea: valganciclovir blocks viral DNA replication. Researchers test whether adding this antiviral to standard cancer care affects brain-tumor response. Oral treatment is twice daily for two weeks, then a lower dose for four weeks. Scans, blood tests, and thinking tests track response and safety.
This phase 2 study plans 28 patients. Akshjot Puri leads at Houston Methodist, the sole recruiting US site.
