BK Virus Infections Understanding

BK Virus Infections: Overview

BK virus (BKV) is a common opportunistic pathogen in kidney transplant recipients and one of the most challenging causes of allograft dysfunction and loss. This virus was named after a Sudanese kidney transplant recipient with ureteric stenosis who was the first patient to have BKV isolated from the urine. It is a double-stranded circular DNA virus, member of the Betapolyomavirus genus in the Polyomaviridae family.

 

Following primary infection, BKV spreads and infects renal tubular epithelial cells and epithelial cells of the urogenital tract, where it remains latent. Several factors including allograft, viral, and host factors influence reactivation of BKV. Upon reactivation, the infected renal tubular epithelial cells develop an increase in nuclear size and generate intranuclear basophilic inclusions. These cells detach from the basement membrane and appear in urine as decoy cells. A wide array of genomic changes follows within 48 hours of viral proliferation in the human tubular epithelial cells that regulate fundamental biological processes such as cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage, and release of immune mediators, all of which contribute to the lytic Phase of viral reactivation and its persistence in the renal allograft.

 

Cellular immunity and in particular memory cell function is considered to be the cornerstone for controlling the latent viral state and suppressing viremia and BKV-associated nephropathy. Healthy seropositive individuals have a strong BKV-specific T-cell response, whereas seronegative healthy individuals do not.

 

BKV reactivation results in tubulointerstitial nephritis and, infrequently, ureteric stenosis in kidney transplant recipients and hemorrhagic cystitis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. However, case reports exist of BKV causing pneumonitis, retinitis, vasculopathy, meningoencephalitis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome, among other manifestations.

BK Virus Infections Emerging Drugs

 

• ALVR-105: Allovir

ALVR 105 (Posoleucel) is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched multi-virus-specific T cell candidate, also known as Viralym-M, developed by AlloVir. Viralym-M is the lead therapeutic candidate in AlloVir’s pipeline of allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T-cell therapies designed to treat active virus-associated diseases in immunocompromised patients, including in patients following HSCT, solid organ transplant, or in patients suffering with primary immunodeficiencies, cancer, or HIV. AlloVir has been developing Viralym-M to treat a range of such active virus-associated diseases, including BK hemorrhagic cystitis, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, JC virus and human herpesvirus 6. Currently the drug is in Phase III stage of development for the treatment of BK virus infection.

 

• Brincidofovir: SymBio Pharmaceuticals

Brincidofovir is an orally available broad-spectrum antiviral agent with activity against various viruses, including BK virus. Studies have indicated that Brincidofovir inhibits BK polyomavirus replication in primary human urothelial cells, suggesting its potential effectiveness in combating BK virus infections. Additionally, Brincidofovir has been used in cases of BK virus-associated nephropathy after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, showing promise in managing these challenging conditions. It is currently being investigated in Phase II stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of BK Virus (BKV) Infection.
