Trial Outcomes & Findings for Maribavir Versus Oral Ganciclovir For The Prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Disease in Liver Transplant Recipients (NCT NCT00497796)

NCT ID: NCT00497796

Last Updated: 2021-06-11

Results Overview

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.

Timeframe: 12 hours post-dose after 2, 6, and 10 weeks of treatment

Population: The Pharmacokinetic (PK) population, defined as those participants in the ITT-S population from whom plasma samples were drawn, tested for maribavir concentrations, and complete, evaluable PK data were available.

For the first 16 subjects to have PK profiling performed, PK sampling was collected at Weeks 2, 6 and 10. For subsequent subjects that have PK profiling performed, PK sampling was collected at Weeks 2 and 6. Samples were collected 12 hours after the morning dose of maribavir. Permissible assessment windows for pharmacokinetic profile sampling purposes were +/- 5 days for each sampling day. Samples for determination of maribavir concentration were analyzed by a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. For plasma, the minimum detectable concentration for maribavir was 0.2 μg/mL.
