Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary efficacy end point is the percentage of patients with a response to treatment, defined as plasma CMV DNA level below the lower limit of quantification (confirmed at least in two consecutive tests), at 8 weeks after the start of treatment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Response defined as plasma CMV DNA level below the lower limit of quantification, confirmed in at least two consecutive tests, assessed at 8 weeks after treatment start."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary safety end point is the incidence of side effects that occurred or worsened during the treatment period and required maribavir therapy discontinuation.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Incidence of adverse events that occurred or worsened during treatment and led to discontinuation of maribavir during the treatment period."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The secondary efficacy endpoint is to describe the incidence and frequency of CMV DNAemia detection occurring when patients are on treatment and off treatment up to 8 weeks from the discontinuation of maribavir therapy. The efficacy will be evaluated also according to the CMV infection risk.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Incidence and frequency of CMV DNAemia detection during treatment and up to 8 weeks after discontinuation; analyses stratified by CMV infection risk."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- The secondary endpoint of late response is the proportion of patients with a partial response at 8 weeks of treatment who continued on therapy per investigator’s judgment, with a subsequent response within 12 weeks, defined as CMV DNAaemia below the level of quantification (confirmed in at least two consecutive tests).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Proportion of patients with partial response at 8 weeks who later achieve CMV DNAemia below LOQ (confirmed in ≥2 consecutive tests) within 12 weeks."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- The secondary safety endpoint is to describe the incidence of grade > 2 side effects considered related to maribavir therapy during the treatment period.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Incidence of grade >2 adverse events considered related to maribavir during treatment period."}
