Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With a Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infection
From Day -7 (7 days before HSCT) to Day 35 (35 days after HSCT)

Viral isolation/identification was conducted if the investigator (or subinvestigator) suspected HSV infection according to the relevant clinical symptoms (oral mucositis, skin infection, genital herpes, and pneumonia). If the result of viral isolation/identification was positive, the participant concerned was defined as a case of HSV infection. For reference, a virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) identification (PCR) was simultaneously performed.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
From Day -7 (7 days before HSCT) to Day 35 (35 days after HSCT)
Mean Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT), and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD) Values at Screening, Day 14, and Day 35
Screening (SCR), Day 14, and Day 35
Mean Direct Bilirubin, Total Bilirubin, Creatinine, and Uric Acid Values at Screening, Day 14, and Day 35
