Positive CYTOGAM Study Results
An investigator-initiated study presented at ISHLT 2026 shows that CYTOGAM use is associated with improved peak lung function, better CLAD-free survival, reduced NK cell activation, and blunted lung injury in CMV high-risk lung transplant recipients.
-
Clinical and Commercial Impact
The data supports increased CYTOGAM utilization in solid organ transplantation, potentially expanding its niche market. CYTOGAM is the sole FDA-approved CMV immune globulin for prophylaxis in transplant.

Upcoming Full Publication
Full study results are expected to be published later this year, providing a near-term catalyst for further validation and potential adoption.
Analysis · KMDA · Life Sciences
Fresh clinical data presented at a major medical meeting indicate that CYTOGAM, Kamada's CMV immune globulin, improves outcomes in high-risk lung transplant recipients. The findings, drawn from an independent investigator-initiated study, reveal better lung function, reduced immune activation, and blunted lung injury. This strengthens the product's clinical profile and could drive higher utilization in a niche but critical transplant market. A full publication expected later this year adds a near-term catalyst.
