Vulnerable Population
"Parent/both parents or LAR must provide signature of informed consent and there must be documentation of assent by the subject, as age appropriate, before completing any study-related procedures." Population includes children and adolescents (<18); age-appropriate assent forms and parent/guardian (Parent/LAR) informed consent forms are used.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Parent/both parents or LAR must provide signature of informed consent and there must be documentation of assent by the subject, as age appropriate, before completing any study-related procedures.\n- \"9. Have life expectancy of ≥8 weeks. \"\n- 11. Subjects must have a confirmed negative HIV test result within 3 months of first dose of study drug or, if unavailable, be tested by a local laboratory during the screening period.\n- \"10. Be willing and have an understanding and ability to fully comply with the study procedures and restrictions defined in the protocol. For younger children, the parent/both parents or LAR must meet this criterion. \"\n- 2. Be a male or female child or adolescent <18 years of age at the time of consent; for subjects in Cohort 3 only (0 to <6 years),, must have a minimum gestational age of at least 39 weeks and minimum weight of 5 kg.\n- \"3. Be a recipient of an SOT or an HSCT that is functioning at the time of screening.\"\n- 4. Have a documented CMV infection, which may be a first episode of post-transplant CMV viremia (primary or reactivation) or refractory to other anti-CMV treatments, with a CMV DNA screening value of ≥1365 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL in plasma in 2 consecutive assessments separated by at least 1 day, as determined by local laboratory qPCR or comparable qNAAT results. Quantitative assays must be standardized to the World Health Organization (WHO) CMV International Standard. Both samples must be taken within 14 days of first dose of study drug with the second sample obtained within 5 days prior to first dose of study drug. The same laboratory and same sample type (whole blood or plasma) must be used for both assessments. If a documented and verified value is available in medical history that fulfills this criterion entirely, it may be used instead.\n- 5. Have all the following results as part of screening laboratory assessments: a. Absolute neutrophil count ≥500/mm3 (0.5 × 10^9/L) b. Platelet count ≥15,000/mm3 (15 × 10^9/L) c. Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL. (≥80 g/L).\n- 6. Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine based Bedside Schwartz equation) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m^2.\n- \"7. Be a female of nonchildbearing potential. If a female of childbearing potential, have a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or beta-hCG (β-hCG) pregnancy test at screening. Males, or nonpregnant, nonlactating females who are sexually active must agree to comply with the applicable contraceptive requirements of this protocol during the study treatment administration period and for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.\"\n- 8. Be able to swallow a whole, intact tablet (unless the subject has a feeding tube, such as a nasogastric [NG] or orogastric [OG] tube, in which case a crushed tablet or the powder-for-oral-suspension formulation can be administered) or be able to swallow an oral suspension."}
