Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; BID, twice daily; CI, confidence interval; CMV, cytomegalovirus; DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid; ITT, intent-to-treat.

aNumerator is the number of “yes” patients; denominator is the number of ITT patients.

bPatients who died after achieving CMV DNA <200 copies/mL within 6 weeks were included as responders in the primary analysis; 5 patients who achieved CMV DNA <200 copies/mL within 6 weeks died within 42 days of the first dose of the study drug (fatal AEs: pneumonia [bacterial], n = 1; sepsis with multi-organ failure, n = 1; multi-organ failure, n = 2; post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, n = 1). None of these deaths was related to the study drug and none of the fatal AEs was likely to be related to CMV.

cNumerator is all recurrences; denominator is the number of patients achieving confirmed undetectable CMV DNA during the study, as specifically defined in the recurrence analysis.

dAny recurrence during the study, including early-withdrawal patients who had a recurrence before withdrawal from the study.

eDid not have recurrence during the study and had data after achieving confirmed undetectable CMV DNA, including early-withdrawal patients who did not have recurrence before withdrawal from the study.

fCalculated using the exact (Clopper-Pearson) confidence limits for the binomial proportion.

gFollow-up assessments through 12 weeks post-treatment.
