E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To describe the effect of CMX001 versus placebo on mortality, and graft failure.
To evaluate the virologic response and the emergence of resistance.
To characterize the effect of CMX001 in preventing clinical manifestations associated with non-CMV double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid viruses.
To describe plasma concentrations of CMX001 and cidofovir (CDV).
To compare health economic and health-related quality-of-life outcome parameters. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Allogeneic HSCT recipient who has prior evidence of CMV exposure before transplantation and who is CMV viremia negative at screening and at any other assessments performed prior to the FDD.
2. Aged ≥ 18 years.
3. If male, willing to use an acceptable contraceptive method(s) throughout the duration of his participation in the study, i.e., through Week 24.
4. If female, either postmenopausal, surgically sterile or, for those female subjects of reproductive potential with a non-sterile male partner, willing to use two acceptable contraceptive methods, one of which must be a barrier method, throughout the duration of her participation in the study, i.e., through Week 24.
5. Able to begin study drug dosing within 28 days following HSCT.
6. Able to ingest and absorb oral medication (in the judgment of the investigator and based on lack of significant GI events/medical history).
7. Willing and able to understand and provide written informed consent.
8. Willing and able to participate in all required study activities for the entire duration of the study (i.e., through Week 24). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. If female, the subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the anticipated duration of her participation in the study (i.e., through Week 2), or nursing a child.
2. Subjects who have a positive CMV viremia test (through central or local virology laboratory) at any time between transplant and the FDD.
3. Subjects who weigh ≥ 120 kg (~ 265 lbs.).
4. Subjects with hypersensitivity (not renal dysfunction or eye disorder) to CDV or to CMX001 or its excipients.
5. Subjects who have received any of the following:
- GCV, vGCV, FOS, CDV, or any other anti-CMV therapy [including CMV
immune globulin (CMV Ig), cell-based therapies, and investigational anti-CMV drugs, e.g., leflunomide, letermovir (previously AIC246), or maribavir] at any time posttransplant;
- any anti-CMV vaccine at any time;
- any other investigational drug within 14 days prior to the FDD (unless prior approval has been received from the Chimerix Medical Monitor or designee), or
-prior treatment with CMX001 at any time.
6. Subjects receiving acyclovir (ACV) orally at > 2,000 mg total daily dose (TDD) or intravenously at > 5 mg/kg three times daily (TID), valacyclovir (vACV) at > 3,000 mg TDD or leflunomide at any dose on the FDD or who are anticipated to receive any of these drugs at the doses described after the FDD.
7. Subjects who are receiving digoxin at the FDD or are anticipated to need treatment with digoxin during the treatment phase (through Week 14).
8. Subjects with possible, probable or definitive CMV disease diagnosed within 6 months prior to the FDD.
9. Subjects who are HIV-infected (based on serology), or who have an active HCV or HBV infection as evidenced by detectable plasma HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or HBV DNA, respectively.
10. Subjects who have received another allogeneic HSCT (i.e., other than the qualifying HSCT) within 2 years prior to the FDD.
11. Subjects with renal insufficiency, as evidenced by an eGFR < 15 mL/min or requiring hemodialysis.
12. Subjects with hepatic abnormalities as evidenced by a screening ALT or AST > 5x ULN as reported by the central safety laboratory.
13. Subjects with a screening total bilirubin > 2x ULN and direct bilirubin > 1.5x ULN as reported by the central safety laboratory.
14. Subjects with active solid tumor malignancies with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or the underlying condition necessitating the stem cell transplant (e.g., lymphomas).
15. Subjects with Stage 2 or higher GI-GVHD or any other GI disease that would, in the judgment of the investigator, preclude the subject from taking or absorbing oral medication (e.g., clinically active Crohn’s disease, ischemic colitis, moderate or severe ulcerative colitis, small bowel resection, ileus, or any condition expected to require
abdominal surgery during the course of study participation).
16. Any other condition, including abnormal laboratory values, that would, in the judgment of the investigator, put the subject at increased risk by participating in the study, or would interfere with the conduct or planned analyses of the study. |
