An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily be considered related to investigational product.

The confirmed viremia clearance was defined as a plasma CMV DNA concentration below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (that is \[i.e.\], less than \[\<\] 34.5 international units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]) when assessed by the COBAS® 8800/COBAS® CMV Test, in two consecutive post-baseline samples, separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for the primary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment (regardless of whether study-assigned treatment was completed).
A TEAEs was defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an investigational product or medicinal product or any existing event that worsened in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the investigational product or medicinal product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence or effect that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability / incapacity, was a congenital anomaly / birth defect or was medically important due to other reasons than the above mentioned criteria.

Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for the primary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment (regardless of whether study-assigned treatment was completed).
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance was defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration less than (\<) lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) that is, \<137 International Units per milliliter (IU/mL) when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive postbaseline samples, separated by at least 5 days. Percentage of participants with confirmed CMV viremia clearance at end of study Week 8 regardless of whether either study-assigned treatment was discontinued before the end of the stipulated 8 weeks of therapy, and could not have received alternative anti-CMV treatment were reported.
All investigator-determined (protocol-defined) cases of CMV disease (i.e., symptomatic CMV infection or CMV organ disease), were adjudicated by an independent, blinded EC. Symptomatic CMV infection was defined as: CMV infection detected by a positive result from a CMV laboratory assay from at least one central laboratory assay (pp65 antigenemia or CMV DNA polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] assay in plasma) and fever \>/=38 °C on \>/=2 occasions \>/=24 hours apart within a 7-day period and at least one of the following: new or increased malaise, two successive measurements of leucopenia (white blood cell \[WBC\] count \<3500/mm3 or a WBC count decrease of 20% if the cell count prior to onset of clinical symptoms was \>4000/mm3) \>/=24 hours apart, atypical lymphocytosis \>/=5%, and thrombocytopenia. CMV organ disease was defined as described by Ljungman et al., 2002.
Blood samples were collected at the study sites, processed to plasma aliquots, and sent to the central laboratory for quantitative CMV DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Plasma samples were assayed for CMV concentration using a qualified PCR method. This method was linear over 200-100,000 viral copies/mL with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 200 copies/mL. Results below LLOQ were considered undetectable. Confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks was defined as 2 consecutive post-baseline, on-treatment undetectable results separated by \>/= 5 days (assessed by the central laboratory). Samples were collected on Days 1 and 8, weekly during Weeks 2-6, and once in Weeks 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 (treatment) and Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12 (follow-up). Permissible assessment windows were: Days 8-15 +/- 1 day; Weeks 3-4 +/- 2 days; Weeks 5-6 +/- 3 days; Weeks 8-12 +/- 4 days; Weeks 16-24 +/- 7 days (treatment) and Weeks 1-4 +/- 2 days; Weeks 8-12 +/- 4 days (follow-up).

Maribavir is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, including in transplant recipients and healthy volunteers. It is being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TAK) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials.
Maribavir is a small molecule antiviral that targets the cytomegalovirus (CMV) UL97 protein kinase, which is essential for viral DNA replication and packaging. By inhibiting this enzyme, maribavir interferes with the virus's ability to replicate and spread.
Maribavir is being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, a global biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan. Takeda is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TAK.
Maribavir is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. It is an investigational drug and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. Clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate its safety and efficacy.
Maribavir has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT02927067, a Phase 3 study comparing maribavir to valganciclovir in stem cell transplant recipients with CMV infections, and NCT05137717, a Phase 3 study in Japanese patients with CMV infection. Other trials include NCT01611974 (Phase 2) and NCT02775240 (Phase 1).
Yes, Maribavir is also known as SHP620. In clinical trials, it has been referred to by both names, with SHP620 used in earlier studies such as NCT02775240, which evaluated the drug in healthy adults.
