Maribavir, n = 235, and IAT, n = 117, unless otherwise specified. All CMV DNA levels reported by central laboratory were based on plasma concentration.

Abbreviations: CMV, cytomegalovirus; GvHD, graft-versus-host disease; HCT, hematopoietic-cell transplant; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; IAT, investigator-assigned therapy; IQR, interquartile range; LLOQ, lower limit of quantification; SOT, solid-organ transplant.

Based on most recent transplant type. Those classed as “multiple” had multiple organs transplanted at once.

The denominator is the number of patients who received SOT within each treatment arm.

There was 1 (1.1%) autologous HCT in the maribavir group.

The denominator is the number of patients who received HCT within each treatment arm.

The denominator is the number of patients who received allogenic HCT within each treatment arm.

Based on the safety population.

Half of the LLOQ value (ie, 137/2 = 68.5) was imputed for those who had <LLOQ.

Patients were not stratified by symptomatic infection at randomization. One patient had both CMV disease and syndrome at baseline.

Most patients had CMV gastrointestinal disease: 10/12 for the maribavir arm and 1/1 for the IAT arm.

Per central laboratory results.

Defined as the most recent anti-CMV agent, used to confirm refractory eligibility criteria.
