E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objectives of this study are (1) to evaluate the efficacy of the prophylactic use of maribavir administered orally for up to 12 weeks for the prevention of cytomegalovirus disease in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants; (2) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the prophylactic use of maribavir administered orally for up to 12 weeks in this subject population |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of maribavir in this subject population |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Information not present in EudraCT |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects must:
1. Be informed of the nature of the study and provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed.
2. Be more than 18 years of age.
3. Weigh more than 40 kg.
4. Have undergone allogeneic bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell, or cord blood transplantation (transplant may be related or unrelated, T-cell depleted or non-T-cell depleted, myeloablative or non-myeloablative/reduced intensity).
5. Have positive pre-transplantation CMV serology (recipient seropositive) or receive stem cells from a donor with positive pre-transplantation CMV serology (donor seropositive). I.e.,:
Donor positive / Recipient positive (D+ R+), or
Donor negative / Recipient positive (D R+), or
Donor positive / Recipient negative (D+ R)
6. Have no detectable CMV infection post-transplant (unequivocally negative pp65 antigenemia and plasma CMV DNA PCR assays) from samples collected within 5 days prior to initiation of study drug (results from either the central laboratory or a local laboratory can be used for qualification).
7. Have transplant engraftment (absolute neutrophil count more than 500/mm3 [0.5 x 10*9/L] from 3 consecutive samples taken on separate days).
8. Be randomized such that dosing with study drug can begin between 14 days and 30 days post-transplant (inclusive).
9. If female, be either postmenopausal, surgically sterile, or have a negative serum pregnancy test within 5 days prior to initiation of study drug. Women of child bearing potential also must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g., abstinence, IUD, or barrier method), as determined by the investigator, during the study drug administration period and for 2 months afterward. Hormonal contraceptives should not be used as the sole method of birth control.
If male, must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g., abstinence or barrier method), as determined by the investigator, during the study drug administration period and for 2 months afterward.
10. Be able to swallow tablets. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects must not:
1. Have CMV-related organ disease within 6 months prior to randomization.
2. Have received any of the following therapies after the day of stem cell transplantation and prior to initiation of study drug: ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir, acyclovir (>25 mg/kg IV per day), valacyclovir (>3 g p.o. per day), famciclovir (>1500 mg p.o. per day), cytomegalovirus immune globulin
3. Have known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
4. Be receiving therapy with phenytoin at time of enrollment.
5. Have any of the following findings within 5 days prior to initiation of study drug: Serum AST or ALT > 7 x the upper limit of normal, Serum total bilirubin > 3 x the upper limit of normal
6. Have severe vomiting, diarrhea or other severe gastrointestinal illness within 24 hours prior to the time of randomization that would preclude administration of oral medication (subjects with active gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease are allowed only if oral medications are permissible and the investigator determines that this condition is stable or improving).
7. Require mechanical ventilation, vasopressors for hemodynamic support, or dialysis at the time of randomization.
8. Be pregnant (as determined by beta-hCG testing prior to initiation of study drug) or breastfeeding. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy end-point is the incidence of CMV disease (as adjudicated by the Indipendent End-point Committee) within 180 days post-transplant. The incidence of CMV disease also will be evaluated within 100 days and 12 months post-transplant |
