Abstract

Viral infections have been reported with dasatinib use, but its cytomegalovirus risk after hematopoietic-cell transplantation (HCT) is not known. We found that post-HCT dasatinib use increased the risk of cytomegalovirus reactivation (adjusted hazard ratio, 7.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.84-31.7), controlling for acute graft-versus-host disease, in 109 patients with Philadelphia-chromosome-positive malignancies.
