DEFINITIONS
Term
Definition
Confirmed viremia 
clearance
Defined as plasma cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA concentration 
below the lower limit of quantification (<LLOQ; ie, <137 IU/mL]), 
when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV 
Test at a central specialty laboratory, in 2 consecutive postbaseline 
samples, separated by at least 5 days.
Recurrence of CMV 
viremia
Defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration ≥LLOQ when 
assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 
2 consecutive plasma samples at least 5 days apart, after being 
unquantifiable (<LLOQ) for at least 5 days in 2 consecutive 
samples.
Rebound of CMV 
viremia
Defined as increase in viral DNA load for >1 log10 above nadir 
without prior clearance of viremia.
Recurrence of the CMV 
disease
Defined as the presence of signs or symptoms of the tissue invasive 
CMV disease (same or new symptomatology) confirmed as per 
Ljungman et al. (2017), after the period of resolution of the disease 
in subjects symptomatic at baseline.
Refractory
Documented failure to achieve >1 log10 (common logarithm to 
base 10) decrease in CMV DNA level in whole blood or plasma 
after 2 or more weeks of treatment with IV ganciclovir, oral 
valganciclovir, IV foscarnet, or IV cidofovir (or any combination 
thereof).
Resistant
Documentation of 1 or more CMV genetic mutations associated 
with resistance to ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, and/or 
cidofovir.
Symptomatic subjects
HSCT recipients who have tissue-invasive CMV disease as 
determined by the investigator according to the criteria specified by 
Ljungman et al. (2017).
Asymptomatic subjects
HSCT recipients who do not have tissue-invasive CMV disease as 
determined by the investigator according to the criteria specified by

STUDY SYNOPSIS
Protocol number: SHP620-302
Drug: Maribavir
Title of the study: A Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study to 
assess the efficacy and safety of maribavir compared to valganciclovir for the treatment of cytomegalovirus 
(CMV) infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients
Number of subjects (total and for each treatment arm): Approximately 612 subjects will be screened to 
randomize approximately 550 subjects in the study, allowing for a 10% screen failure rate. Approximately 
550 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a double-blind treatment with maribavir or valganciclovir. 
Assuming a 10% dropout rate during the double-blind phase, approximately 494 subjects (247 each in the 
maribavir and valganciclovir arms) are required to provide 90% power to assess the noninferiority of maribavir 
to valganciclovir.
Investigator(s): A multicenter study to be conducted at approximately 105 sites worldwide.
Site(s) and Region(s): Approximately 105 sites in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Study periods (planned): 2017 - 2022
Clinical phase:
3
Primary Objective:
To compare the efficacy of maribavir to valganciclovir in CMV viremia clearance at the end of Study Week 8 in 
asymptomatic CMV infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients.
Key Secondary Objective:
To compare the efficacy of maribavir and valganciclovir on maintenance of CMV viremia clearance, achieved 
at the end of Study Week 8 through Study Week 16 (8 weeks of post-treatment/follow-up Phase).
Secondary Objectives:

To compare the efficacy of maribavir to valganciclovir in CMV viremia clearance after completion of 
8 weeks of treatment for asymptomatic CMV infection in HSCT recipients.

To compare the efficacy of maribavir and valganciclovir on maintenance of CMV viremia clearance, 
achieved after completion of 8 weeks of treatment, through Study Weeks 12 (4 weeks of post-treatment 
period), 16 (8 weeks of post-treatment/follow-up phase), and 20 (12 weeks post-treatment).

To assess the maintenance of CMV viremia clearance achieved at the end of Study Week 8, through

Clinical Study Protocol: SHP620-302 Protocol Amendment 9

Rationale:
There are no anti-viral drugs specifically approved for treatment of CMV infection in transplant recipients. Both 
(IV) ganciclovir, approved for the treatment of CMV retinitis in immunocompromised patients including 
patients with HIV/AIDS and prevention of CMV disease in transplant recipients at risk for CMV disease, and 
oral valganciclovir approved for treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with HIV/AIDS and prevention of CMV 
disease in solid organ transplant recipient are widely used in clinical practice to treat CMV infection. The most 
common adverse effect of this treatment is bone marrow suppression, which is of particular concern for HSCT 
recipients whose marrow has been ablated and who are significantly immunosuppressed to prevent 
graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The rates of valganciclovir-related neutropenia in HSCT range from 19% 
(Barkam et al., 2012) and 33% (Takahata et al., 2015) to 55% (Boeckh et al., 2015).
Maribavir is an anti-CMV agent that may be of particular benefit to HSCT patients as it does not appear to cause 
bone marrow suppression. In addition to the favorable safety profile of maribavir observed in earlier Phase 1-3 
studies (studies evaluating prophylactic administration of maribavir), results from a recent large Phase 2 
randomized trial (Study 1263-203) support the safety, tolerability, as well as anti-viral activity of maribavir as a 
potential option for the treatment of CMV infections in transplant recipients. Study 1263-203 was a multicenter, 
randomized, dose-ranging, parallel-group study of maribavir versus valganciclovir for the treatment of CMV 
infections in HSCT or solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1:1 
allocation ratio (40 subjects per group) to receive oral maribavir at 400 mg, 800 mg, or 1200 mg twice daily 
(BID); or valganciclovir (900 mg BID for 3 weeks, 900 mg once daily (QD) after 3 weeks) for up to 12 weeks. 
Maribavir, at doses 400 mg BID, had comparable efficacy to valganciclovir at clearing CMV viremia and was 
generally well tolerated across the dose range studied. In the subgroup of subjects whose transplant type was 
HSCT, a numerically higher percentage of subjects in the overall maribavir group (75%) than the valganciclovir 
group (48%) achieved confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks of treatment. There was a 
higher incidence of neutropenia through Week 12 for valganciclovir-treated subjects compared with maribavir-
treated subjects. This was evident for both measured degrees of neutropenia: 18% versus 5% (ANC<1000/mm3), 
and 5% versus 2% (ANC<500/mm3) through Week 12 for the valganciclovir and overall maribavir groups, 
respectively.
This Phase 3 study is designed to further assess and demonstrate the efficacy and safety of maribavir, 
administered at 400 mg BID, compared to valganciclovir administered at 900 mg BID for the treatment of 
asymptomatic CMV infection in HSCT recipients.
Study treatment, dose, and mode of administration
Investigational product:
The sponsor will provide maribavir 200 mg strength tablets, which will be administered orally (PO) at 400 mg 
BID with food. Administration with food is not required for maribavir however it is required for valganciclovir 
(as per valganciclovir label), therefore same administration conditions (ie, with food) will be used to protect the 
blind.
Active control:
Valganciclovir will be provided in 450 mg strength tablets, which will be administered PO at 900 mg BID 
(or adjusted dosage, as required) with food.

Placebo:
To protect the study blind, maribavir and valganciclovir tablets will each have matching placebo tablets with 
same mode of administration.
Methodology:
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study of maribavir compared 
to valganciclovir for the treatment of asymptomatic CMV infection in HSCT recipients. “Asymptomatic 
subjects” at baseline will be defined as HSCT recipients who do not have tissue-invasive CMV disease as 
diagnosed by the investigator. The study will assess the efficacy of maribavir by measuring the plasma CMV 
DNA clearance. To be eligible for the study, subjects must have a documented asymptomatic CMV infection 
with a screening value of CMV DNA ≥1365 IU/mL to ≤273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to 
≤91000 IU/ml in plasma in 2 consecutive assessments, separated by at least 1 day, as determined by local or 
central specialty laboratory quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or comparable quantitative CMV 
DNA results. Results should be available before the subject is randomized to verify subject eligibility for the 
study. Both samples should be taken within 14 days prior to randomization with the second sample obtained 
within 5 days before randomization. The same laboratory and sample type should be used for these assessments. 
Subjects must not have CMV tissue invasive disease (symptomatic CMV infection) and must not have a CMV 
infection that is known to be genotypically resistant to anti-CMV drugs and must meet the remaining specified 
eligibility criteria.
All eligible subjects will be stratified based on the last prebaseline whole blood or plasma CMV DNA 
concentration as determined by the local or central specialty laboratory qPCR and acute GVHD (presence or 
absence at baseline):

High viral load with CMV DNA ≥27300 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥9100 IU/mL in plasma;

Low viral load with CMV DNA ≥2730 IU/mL to <27300 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥910 IU/mL to 
<9100 IU/mL in plasma, and

Very low viral load and high-risk infection with CMV DNA >1365 IU/mL to <2730 IU/mL in whole 
blood or >455 IU/mL to <910 IU/mL in plasma
Subjects in each stratum will then be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive double-blind maribavir 
400 mg BID or valganciclovir 900 mg BID (with dose adjustment for renal function or neutropenia) for 
8 weeks.
As shown in the study schematic in Study Design Flow Chart below, the study will have 3 phases: (1) Up to a 
2-week screening phase; (2) 8-week double-blind study treatment phase; and (3) 12-week follow-up phase. 
Subjects will be required to visit the site up to 18 times for up to a 22-week period.
Screening Phase
Approximately 612 subjects will be screened during an approximate 2-week screening phase to establish 
eligibility for study participation. If applicable, those subjects who meet eligibility requirements will undergo 
washout of any prohibited medications, the length of which will be specified in the eligibility criteria. Subjects 
treated with ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or letermovir for the current CMV infection must not be 
treated with these anti-CMV agents for longer than 72 hours prior to enrolling in the study. Subjects who 
discontinue from screening due to COVID-19-related factors but are otherwise qualified to participate in the 
trial may be rescreened at any time if the Takeda medical monitor agrees.
Study Treatment Phase
Approximately 550 subjects with an asymptomatic CMV infection who meet eligibility requirements during the 
screening phase, including the presence of quantifiable (local or central specialty laboratory) whole blood or 
plasma CMV DNA levels as specified, will be stratified based on their CMV viral load and GVHD status, and 
then randomized at Visit 2/Day 0 to receive either double-blind maribavir/placebo or valganciclovir/placebo 
(collectively, the study treatment) for 8 weeks.

Clinical Study Protocol: SHP620-302 Protocol Amendment 9
15 Sep 2021
Historical laboratory results for tests specified in the Schedule of Assessment 1 may be used for eligibility 
assessment (HIV test results, relevant hematology, and chemistry results) as long as those are obtained within 
the specified time period. The Screening and Visit 2/Day 0 visits can occur on the same day, if laboratory results 
are available for the determination of eligibility.
All Visit 2/Day 0 procedures and screening laboratory results needed to confirm eligibility must be completed 
and documented prior to randomization and study treatment administration and all clinical laboratory results 
required for eligibility verification must be available prior to randomization, including two separate CMV DNA 
assessments. Initiation of study treatment (ie, first dose) will only occur after completion of all required 
Visit 2/Day 0 procedures, confirmation of eligibility, and completion of randomization. This will be done under 
the supervision of investigator site personnel.
Subjects randomized to receive maribavir will take the 400 mg BID dose for the 8 weeks of the study treatment 
phase. Maribavir 200 mg strength tablets will be utilized for the daily dosing.
Although typically valganciclovir treatment in HSCT patients is started as an induction dose of 900 mg BID for 
up to 14 days and then reduced to a maintenance dose of 900 mg QD for a further 2 weeks or until CMV viral 
load clearance (Tomblyn et al., 2009), a different dosing strategy was selected for this study based on input from 
regulatory authorities. Treatment with valganciclovir 900 mg BID for the duration of 8 weeks was chosen in 
order to eliminate a potential bias for efficacy in favor of the investigational treatment (maribavir) by 
administering the comparator (valganciclovir) at a lower dose. Dosage for valganciclovir (450 mg QD up to 
900 mg BID, as adjusted for renal function) will utilize 450 mg strength tablets.
Depending on the time of the first dose of study treatment on Visit 2/Day 0, a second dose should be 
administered on Visit 2/Day 0 provided that doses can be separated by a minimum of 8 hours; otherwise, 
only 1 dose should be administered on Visit 2/Day 0. Study treatment will then be administered (preferably) 
every 12 hours (q12h). When q12h dosing is not feasible, the doses should be separated by a minimum of 
8 hours.
To protect the study blind, subjects will be required to take 2 tablets of their assigned study treatment and 
2 tablets of the placebo q12h in a double-dummy format as shown in the table below.

neutropenia. Subjects with estimated CrCl of ≥30 mL/min will be enrolled; adjustment of the valganciclovir 
dose for renal function will be allowed at study entry and during the study treatment phase consistent with 
valganciclovir label, as indicated in the table below. Placebo tablets will be assigned to make up for adjusted 
dose and decrease in valganciclovir tablets.

Various clinical scenarios of neutropenia will be programmed in the interactive response technology (IRT) and 
appropriate options will be selected by the investigator. Interruptions and discontinuation of study treatment will 
be conducted in a blinded manner; therefore, it is possible that treatment with either valganciclovir or maribavir 
will be interrupted or discontinued for neutropenia presence. The investigator may also select to interrupt study 
treatment, for other adverse events, regardless of the treatment assignment (maribavir or valganciclovir). The 
interruption for a maximum of 7 consecutive days will not result in permanent study treatment discontinuation. 
Up to 2 study treatment interruptions for a total of up to 7 days will be allowed. If study drug is interrupted for 
any reason and subsequently resumed, the end of the study drug administration period would remain fixed at a 
maximum of 8 weeks after the date of the start of treatment. A third study treatment interruption will lead to 
permanent study treatment discontinuation; the subject will complete the end of treatment procedures described 
for Visit 10/Study Week 8 in the Schedule of Assessment 1, and will follow a modified schedule of assessments 
through the remaining weekly visits scheduled for the study treatment phase and the regular schedule of 
assessments through the 12-week follow-up phase.
All subjects will undergo study-specific evaluations weekly during the study treatment phase. All subjects who 
complete the study treatment phase through Visit 10/Week 8 will enter the 12-week follow-up phase.
Subjects who permanently discontinue study treatment will complete the end of treatment procedures described 
for Visit 10/Study Week 8 in the Schedule of Assessment 1; these subjects will follow a modified schedule of 
assessments through the remaining weekly visits of the study treatment phase and the regular schedule of 
assessments through the 12-week follow-up phase. The end of treatment sample for immunosuppressant drug 
concentration will be collected at the next visit scheduled 1 week after the treatment discontinuation. Subjects 
who discontinue study treatment early will not be asked to complete the following procedures for subsequent 
visits in the treatment phase: the use of the diary for study treatment compliance, dispense or use of any study 
treatment, and PK sample collection. After completing the 8-weeks specified for the study treatment phase, 
subjects will enter the 12-week follow-up phase. After the permanent discontinuation of study treatment and 
until the end of the study, subjects might be administered other anti-CMV treatment as deemed necessary by the 
investigator. Subjects who withdraw from the study during the follow-up phase will perform the end of study 
evaluations and procedures for Visit 18/Week 20 (Follow-up Week 12) as soon as possible.
Subjects who withdraw consent during the study treatment phase will be asked to undergo all end of treatment 
evaluations and procedures listed for Visit 10/Week 8, if they agree; subjects who withdraw from the study 
during the follow-up phase will undergo all end of study evaluations and procedures listed for Visit 18/Week 20 
(Follow-up Week 12) as soon as possible and, whenever possible, if they agree, prior to initiation of any 
nonstudy anti-CMV treatment (as deemed necessary by the investigator); no further follow-up will be 
performed.
Follow-up Phase
Study-specific evaluations including central specialty laboratory CMV testing and safety assessments will occur 
weekly for the first 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks for the final 8 weeks of the 12-Week Follow-up Phase. Refer to

Notable Study Evaluations during Study Treatment Phase and Follow-up Phase
CMV DNA Quantitation
Blood samples will be assessed at a central specialty laboratory for the quantification of CMV DNA in plasma 
using the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test. Central specialty laboratory plasma CMV 
DNA results will be reported to the investigator site as available. Additional CMV DNA testing at local 
specialty laboratories may be performed at more frequent intervals or using additional assay methods at the 
discretion of the investigator.
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance will be defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration below the lower limit 
of quantification (<LLOQ; ie, <137 IU/mL]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® 
CMV Test at a central specialty laboratory, in two consecutive postbaseline samples, separated by at least 
5 days.
Confirmed Recurrence or the confirmed CMV viremia recurrence will be defined as plasma CMV DNA 
concentration ≥LLOQ when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive 
plasma samples at least 5 days apart, after being unquantifiable (<LLOQ) for at least 5 days in 2 consecutive 
samples.
CMV Genotyping and Phenotyping
Subjects with known resistance to anti-CMV agents as determined by site local specialty laboratory (testing will 
be done as directed by the investigator) will be excluded from the study. At Visit 2/Day 0 plasma samples will 
be obtained and tested by the central specialty laboratory to identify mutations in the viral UL97 and UL54 
genes known to confer resistance to anti-CMV agents. In addition, UL 27 will be tested. Given the urgency to 
treat the subjects, it is not possible to wait for this central specialty laboratory assessment prior to a subject’s 
randomization to confirm lack of resistance to any previously used agents. In instances when a mutation will be 
reported in the baseline sample analyzed by the central specialty laboratory these subjects will be excluded from 
the Per Protocol Set for analysis. Subjects will be managed based on investigator clinical judgments, and if 
resistance is suspected genotyping may be conducted by a local specialty laboratory at investigator discretion. It 
is not expected that the genotyping results from central specialty laboratory will be available in time to direct 
patient management.
 
 
Rebound is defined as increase in viral DNA load without prior clearance of viremia. The entire UL97, UL54, 
and UL27 CMV genes will be sequenced in every sample that meets the criteria for genotyping, including the 
baseline samples.
 
 
PK Assessment
Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained for all subjects as in the Schedule of Assessments 1, but analyzed for 
only those subjects who are taking maribavir. Bioanalysis of PK samples will be conducted while the study is 
ongoing. The analysis will be conducted by unblinded staff from the bioanalysis lab/contract research 
organization (CRO) to allow for the identification of the PK samples from the subjects randomized to the 
maribavir treatment arm.

Notes: Scenarios in the table above are provided as examples and may not be inclusive of all possibilities. Only CMV DNA 
data evaluable for assessment of effect of study drug will be included (ie, prior to the start of alternative anti-CMV treatment 
if any).
"-" = CMV DNA concentration <LLOQ (<137 IU/mL)
"+" = CMV DNA concentration ≥LLOQ (ie, quantifiable)
Confirmed clearance of plasma CMV DNA (CMV viremia clearance) = 2 consecutive postbaseline assessments of CMV 
DNA target <LLOQ, separated by at least 5 days.
Statistical Methodology for Primary Efficacy Endpoint:
The difference in proportion of subjects with confirmed CMV viremia clearance, at the end of Study Week 8, 
irrespective of treatment duration, between treatment groups (maribavir and valganciclovir) will be obtained 
using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) weighted average across strata with baseline plasma CMV DNA 
concentration levels and presence or absence of acute GVHD as the stratification factors. The baseline plasma 
CMV DNA concentration will be the last central laboratory assessment before the first dose of study treatment.

The 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the weighted average of difference across strata will be calculated 
using the normal approximation method. If the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than -7%, it will be 
concluded that maribavir is as efficacious as valganciclovir. The noninferiority analysis will be performed on 
the PP Set as the primary analysis and on the Modified Randomized Set as a secondary analysis.
Sensitivity and supportive analyses of the primary endpoint of confirmed CMV viremia clearance at Week 8 
will be conducted to evaluate the robustness of the results from the primary method.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method, the superiority will be tested by comparing the lower limit of the 
95% CI of the difference in proportion of subjects with confirmed CMV viremia clearance between maribavir 
and valganciclovir with 0. The superiority testing will be performed on the Modified Randomized Set.
Analyses will be conducted for the following subgroups (inclusive, but not limited to):

Cytomegalovirus DNA viral load (high, low, very low/high-risk)

Acute GVHD presence/absence at baseline

Adolescents ≥16 to <18 years of age (exploratory analysis: may be conducted if sample size is 
adequate)
Statistical Methodology for Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoint:
The difference in proportion of subjects who achieve response as defined for the key secondary efficacy 
endpoint between treatment groups (maribavir and valganciclovir) will be obtained using CMH weighted 
average across strata with baseline plasma CMV DNA concentration (based on the last central laboratory 
assessment before the first dose of study treatment) and presence or absence of acute GVHD as the stratification 
factors. The 2-sided 95% CI of the weighted average of difference across strata will be calculated using the 
normal approximation method. Sensitivity analyses for the key secondary endpoint will also be conducted.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method, the noninferiority testing will be done using the same NI margin 
as the primary efficacy endpoint. If the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than -7%, it will be concluded that 
maribavir is as efficacious as valganciclovir in maintaining treatment effect. The noninferiority analysis will be 
performed on the PP Set as the primary analysis and on the Modified Randomized Set as a secondary analysis.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method, the superiority in key secondary efficacy endpoint will be tested 
by comparing the lower limit of the 95% CI of the difference in proportion of subjects who achieve response as 
defined for the key secondary efficacy endpoint between maribavir and valganciclovir with 0. The superiority 
testing will be performed on the Modified Randomized Set.
Multiplicity Adjustment:
The hypothesis testing of the primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints will be adjusted for multiple 
comparisons following the gatekeeping strategy as described below to control the family-wise Type 1 error rate 
at α=5% level. The testing will be done in the order of primary efficacy endpoint NI hypothesis testing (H11) 
first, the superiority hypothesis testing for primary efficacy endpoint (H12) and the key secondary efficacy 
endpoint NI hypothesis testing (H21) second, and lastly the superiority testing for key secondary efficacy 
endpoint (H22).

First, the NI hypothesis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be tested based on the 2-sided 95% CI of 
the adjusted difference in proportion of subjects who have CMV viremia clearance at the end of Study 
Week 8 stratified by baseline CMV DNA concentration level and presence/absence of acute GVHD at 
baseline. This analysis will be conducted using PP Set as the primary and Modified Randomized Set as 
secondary. If the lower limit of the 95% CI is above -7%, NI of the primary efficacy endpoint is 
considered established.

If and only after the NI of the primary efficacy endpoint is established, the superiority hypothesis of the 
primary efficacy endpoint and the NI hypothesis of the key secondary endpoint will be tested in 
parallel. Hochberg procedure will be used to control family-wise Type 1 error rate at α=5% level.

If and only if the superiority of the primary efficacy endpoint and NI of key secondary efficacy 
endpoint are established, the superiority hypothesis of the key secondary efficacy endpoint will be 
tested.

Statistical Methodology for Safety Endpoints:
The safety analyses will include evaluation and procedures to meet the secondary objective of assessing the 
safety and tolerability of study treatments.
Safety evaluation will be made during the periods as illustrated in the Study Design Flow Chart, (ie, Screening 
Phase, Treatment Phase, and Follow-up Phase).
Two observation periods are defined for the purpose of analyses:
1)
The on-treatment observation period starts at the time of study treatment initiation through 7 days after
the last dose of study treatment. For subjects who transfer from the study treatment to a nonstudy
anti-CMV treatment, the on-treatment observation period starts at the time of the study treatment
initiation through 7 days after the last dose of study treatment, or until the nonstudy anti-CMV
treatment initiation, whichever is earlier.
2)
The overall-study observation period starts at the time of the start of the study treatment through the
end of the study.
Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) are defined as those with a start date on or after the first dose of study 
treatment, or with a start date before the date of first dose of study treatment, but increasing in severity 
after the first dose of study treatment.
The overall study AEs are those occurring during the overall-study observation period.
Safety endpoints will be summarized descriptively for the on-treatment period, and overall-study period, 
as appropriate. Baseline assessments will be the last assessment before the first dose of study treatment.
The number of events, incidence, and percentage of TEAEs and overall-study AEs will be displayed for each 
treatment group by preferred terms using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®). 
Summaries in terms of severity and relationship to study medication will also be provided. Treatment-emergent 
SAEs will be summarized separately in a similar fashion. Summaries of AEs causing discontinuation of study 
medication, withdrawals, AEs leading to death, SAEs, and adverse events of special interest (AESI) will be 
provided.
Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) will be analyzed according to primary system organ classes 
(SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs). Standardized MedDRA queries (SMQs) may be used, as applicable. 
Summary tables with SOCs and PTs will be generated presenting the number and percentage of subjects 
by AE, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study medication. Invasive bacterial and fungal 
infections, if any, will be noted.
Usage of concomitant medications will be summarized descriptively for each of the treatment groups for 
the on-treatment period and overall-study period. Additionally, administration of hematopoietic growth 
factors, blood, and blood products will be summarized.
Change from Baseline in vital signs and clinical laboratory tests will be summarized for each treatment 
group with descriptive statistics at each assessment visit. Additional shift tables may be produced for 
selected laboratory parameters using severity grades based on National Cancer Institute (NCI) common 
terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE v4.0) or using normal/above normal/below normal 
range. Analyses of shifts in NCI CTC toxicity grades from baseline to maximum grade postbaseline for 
the on-treatment period and the overall-study period will be analyzed. Potentially clinically important 
findings will also be summarized.
Treatment-emergent grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (defined respectively as ANC <1,000/mm3 [1.0 x 109/L]) or ANC 
<500/mm3 [0.5 x 109/L]) will be summarized as shifts in laboratory results from lower grade to maximum grade 
of either 3 or 4 postbaseline for the on-treatment period and the overall-study period. Time to neutropenia 
development will be evaluated.
Study treatment dose adjustment, specifically valganciclovir dose adjustment, and interruptions for 
neutropenia or renal function impairment or other AE, and maribavir dose interruptions for any AE, will 
be summarized.
Abnormal physical examination findings will be listed.

Summary of ECG findings will be provided by treatment groups.
An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be established to assess the data for safety and 
to ensure the validity and scientific merit of the trial. Detailed plans for the DMC’s purpose and 
responsibilities will be described in the DMC charter and the statistical analysis plan.
PK Analysis:
In order to maintain the study blind, if needed, an interim population PK analysis of maribavir PK data obtained 
from the study subjects will be performed by an independent unblinded team.
Sample Size Justification:
The primary testing is to establish that maribavir is not inferior to valganciclovir in treatment of CMV infection 
in HSCT recipients. For ethical reasons it would not be possible to conduct a study of maribavir versus placebo 
since different treatment strategies are already used and well established in clinical practice to treat CMV 
infection. Valganciclovir has been selected as the active control because of its documented effectiveness for the 
treatment of CMV infection, including in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. While clinical 
trials of ganciclovir and valganciclovir versus placebo have been conducted for CMV prophylaxis, no 
placebo-controlled studies have been done to date for the treatment of CMV infection or disease. Therefore, the 
effect size of valganciclovir against placebo is not available, and treatment effect estimate had to be derived 
indirectly. Literature reports viremia clearance rate for valganciclovir at 70% to 100%. In the VICTOR study, a 
randomized controlled study to compare valganciclovir with ganciclovir for the treatment of CMV disease in 
SOT subjects (Asberg et al., 2007), the Week 7 viremia clearance rate was reported at 67% and the derived 
lower limit of the 95% CI was 60% for valganciclovir treatment group (n=164). In Phase 2 treatment 
SHP620-203 study, 75% of HSCT subjects (n=61 across 3 dose groups) in the maribavir group and 48% in 
valganciclovir group (n=21) had confirmed CMV viremia clearance within 6 weeks. Based on these available 
data, the proportion of subjects who achieve viremia clearance after 8 weeks of treatment in the current study is 
assumed at 60% for the valganciclovir treatment group.
A 7% NI margin is chosen for the current study based on the following considerations. First, a 7% of margin 
preserves at least 85% of the effect size assumed for the valganciclovir treatment group. Secondly, a 7% margin 
is less than half of 15%, a common NI margin used in antiviral trials and is considered very conservative. 
Two NI studies on comparing valganciclovir with ganciclovir in CMV treatment were identified after a 
thorough literature research. One study was reported by Chawla et al. 2011, and the other is VICTOR study 
(Asberg et al., 2007); both used a NI margin of 15%. Discussions with clinical experts confirmed that a 7% NI 
margin is considered a conservative choice and in clinical practice, a lower response rate might even be 
considered given the favorable safety profile of the test drug and where toxicities of available treatments such as 
valganciclovir limit their use.
Based on SHP620-203 study reporting 75% of HSCT subjects in the maribavir group and 48% in valganciclovir 
group having confirmed CMV viremia clearance within 6 weeks, it could be expected that maribavir may be 
superior to valganciclovir in the treatment setting in the HSCT population. However, given the uncertainties 
from the differences in this study design from that of SHP620-203, literature reported treatment effect for 
valganciclovir, and practical consideration for enrollment of sufficient number of patients in this orphan patient 
population, the primary objective of this study is testing for noninferiority, with testing for superiority to be 
conducted only after non inferiority is established.
For sample size calculation, to be conservative, it is assumed that 68% and 60% subjects will achieve confirmed 
CMV viremia clearance for the primary efficacy endpoint, in the maribavir and valganciclovir groups, 
respectively. Using the normal approximation method, a 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference 
in the proportions of subjects with the confirmed CMV viremia clearance will be calculated. If the lower limit of 
the CI is greater than the predefined NI of 7%, the noninferiority will be assumed. The sample size is estimated 
based on a 2-group test of equivalence in proportions by using nQuery Advisor 7.0. Based on the above 
assumptions, 494 eligible subjects (247 per treatment group) will result in a >90% power to declare 
noninferiority of maribavir to valganciclovir for the primary efficacy endpoint. Considering 10% subjects who 
are not in the PP Set due to dropout, 550 subjects (275 subjects per treatment arm) will be enrolled and 
randomized.

c Obtaining Informed Consent is not restricted to Study Visit 1 but can be obtained during the course of the screening phase (Study Weeks -2 to 0) as long as it is obtained 
before any study-specific procedures are performed. During the COVID-19 public health emergency, informed consent from a potential or current trial participant may be
obtained via electronic informed consent (eIC) capabilities or an electronic face-to-face consent interview when these individuals are unable to travel to the site (FDA 
COVID-19 Guidance, 27 Jan 2021, Q11), if permitted by local laws and regulations. All other assessments must be done at the investigative site. 
d Immunosuppressant drug concentration testing and Visit 2A are solely for subjects receiving immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus, cyclosporine, everolimus, or 
sirolimus. Visit 2A will occur at Day 4±1 day for subjects receiving immunosuppressive agent at baseline; or 4±1 days after initiating one of these immunosuppressive 
treatments for subjects who start during the study.
e Permissible assessment windows: Study Visit 2A, ±1 day, Study Visit 3 (Week 1) +2 days, Study Weeks 2-4, ±2 days; Study Weeks 5-8, ±3 days.
f Screening and Visit 2/Day 0 visits can occur on the same day in the case when historical laboratory values are available for determination of the eligibility. All Visit 2/Day 0 
procedures and screening laboratory results needed to confirm eligibility must be completed and documented prior to randomization and initiation of study treatment. The test 
results for the samples taken at Visit 2, from central laboratory or central specialty laboratory, will not be available to be used for the screening. Initiation of study treatment 
(ie, first dose) will only occur after completion of all required Visit 2/Day 0 procedures, confirmation of eligibility, and completion of randomization. This will be done under 
the supervision of investigator site personnel.
g Informed consent must be obtained before any study-specific procedures are performed. All screening procedures will be completed within 14 days prior to initiation of study 
treatment, with the exception of: 1) screening clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, pregnancy), which must be performed and verified within 3 days prior to 
initiation of study treatment; either central or local laboratory results for hematology/chemistry/pregnancy testing can be used for qualification, and 2) documentation of CMV 
infection in whole blood or plasma, with a screening value of ≥1365 IU/mL to <273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to <91000 IU/mL in plasma in 2 assessments, 
separated by at least one day, as determined by local or central specialty laboratory quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or comparable quantitative CMV DNA 
results. Results should be available before the subject is randomized to verify subject eligibility for the study. Both samples should be taken within 14 days of randomization 
with second sample obtained within 5 days before randomization. Same laboratory and sample type (whole blood or plasma) should be used for these assessments.
h Symptom-oriented physical examinations other than protocol-specified examinations will be performed when clinically indicated.
i Updated medical history on Visit 2/Day 0 (Section 5.1).
j ECGs other than protocol-specified ECGs will be performed when clinically indicated. For home healthcare visits, ECGs may be performed by a qualified healthcare 
professional who is certified/authorized by the Principal Investigator to perform such tests routinely.
k Clinical laboratory tests will be performed at a central laboratory for all specified time points during the study with the exception of Visit 2A (for subjects receiving 
tacrolimus, cyclosporine, everolimus, or sirolimus); a local lab will assess potassium and magnesium at Visit 2A for these subjects. Central or local laboratory results for 
hematology/chemistry/ pregnancy testing can be used for eligibility and their results must be available prior to randomization. Local laboratory beta human chronic 
gonadotropin test results can be used for the assessment of pregnancy on Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0, prior to study drug administration. Sample for 
hematology/chemistry/pregnancy will be taken for analyses by the central laboratory before study drug administration at baseline. For subsequent visits, in addition to 
samples taken for central laboratory analysis at the visit, samples for complete blood count with differential and serum creatinine should be drawn and analyzed by a local
laboratory within 2 days prior to study treatment dispensation. These local laboratory results should be available and reviewed, to ascertain any dose adjustment of study drug 
(valganciclovir dose adjustment for renal function and/or neutropenia) can be conducted, if needed, prior to each study treatment dispensation during the treatment phase. For 
home healthcare visits, collection of clinical laboratory samples (blood specimen collection or other diagnostic tests) may be performed by the investigator or qualified site 
staff who can visit the trial participant’s residence.

l Female subjects of childbearing potential will have serum pregnancy testing performed at a central or local laboratory. Urine test results may be performed to accommodate 
institutional requirements, however, are not sufficient for eligibility determination.
m HIV status confirmed within 3 months prior to randomization will be used for the evaluation of this criterion. If a subject is known (previously documented) to be HIV 
positive, this information will be used in the eligibility assessment. Local testing during screening will be required for the eligibility assessment for subjects for whose HIV 
status within the 3 months prior to study entry is unknown; negative results must be confirmed prior to randomization.
n HBV and HCV historical results available within 3 months prior to study treatment initiation will be accepted. If historical values are not available then the test will be 
performed at Visit 2/Day 0. The results of test do not have to be available prior to start of dosing.
o Blood samples taken at all study visits (processed to obtain plasma), for all CMV DNA tests (quantitation, genotyping) will be tested in the central specialty laboratory. 
During screening period, local specialty laboratory results for CMV DNA quantitation (from whole blood or plasma as per site’s standard practice) could be used for 
eligibility assessment; in this case CMV DNA results from central laboratory are not required. At baseline (Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0) a sample for the CMV DNA quantification 
will be taken and tested at the central specialty lab. At all other visits CMV DNA tests will be conducted at a central specialty laboratory, local specialty laboratory testing 
will be done at the investigator’s discretion. The screening results, regardless whether from the local or central specialty laboratory, will be utilized for stratification for 
randomization.
p To be eligible for randomization, both CMV DNA results must be ≥455 IU/mL in plasma or ≥1365 IU/mL in whole blood.
q Subjects with CMV disease at screening/baseline will be excluded. Subjects will be assessed at subsequent visits during the study for the development of new tissue invasive 
CMV disease, and disease outcome (no change, improvement, resolution).
 
s If the subject is receiving immunosuppressant drugs (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, or everolimus), as mentioned in Section 7.2.3.4, on Study Day 0, then a blood 
sample to measure immunosuppressant drug concentration will be obtained on Visit Day 0 prior to study treatment administration, at Visit 2A (Day 4 ±1 day), and on Visit 
Day 7 (+2 day). If the subject is not receiving immunosuppressant drugs at Day 0, but starts any time after Day 0 while still receiving study treatment, then a blood sample to 
measure immunosuppressant drug concentration will be obtained 4 days±1 day after initiating the immunosuppressant), and at the next scheduled study visit. Tests will be 
performed at a local laboratory. For more details see Section 7.2.3.4.
t Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples should be obtained for all subjects and analyzed for only those subjects who are taking maribavir. A PK sample will be taken before the 
morning dose of study drug at all 3 PK visits. A PK sample will also be taken 2-4 hour after the morning dose of study at Visit 3/Week 1 and Visit 10/Week 8. There will be 
no postdose PK sample collected for Visit 6/Week 4. At Visit 3/Week 1 an intensive PK sampling for children ≥16 and <18 years of age will be performed as follows: 
premorning dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 (all ±5 min), and 12 hours (±15 min) postmorning dose. PK sample collection for children ≥16 and <18 years of age will also be performed at 
Visit 6/Week 4 (one premorning dose PK sample) and at Visit 10/Week 8 (one premorning dose and one between 2-4 hours postmorning dose PK samples). Additional PK 
samples will be collected from the subjects with biopsy proven GI graft-versus host-disease (GVHD) with diarrhea (>300 ml/day) or biopsy proven GI GVHD with nausea 
and vomiting or documented acute GVHD of liver (Stage II), total bilirubin >3 mg/dL or biopsy-proven) with diarrhea (>500 ml/day) or biopsy proven acute GVHD of the 
skin with diarrhea (>500 mL/day) per Boeckh et al. (1998). See Section 7.2.4.1 for more details.
u The IRT system will be used for stratification and randomization of eligible subjects at baseline. IRT will be used for dispensing study treatment.
v All dispensed study treatments will be documented on the CRFs and/or other investigational product records, and may include additional information as required per 
applicable regulations. The disposition of unused supply of dispensed study treatment that has been prescribed to the subject will be documented in the accountability log.

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1 Indication and Current Treatment Options
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a beta herpesvirus that commonly infects humans; serologic 
evidence of prior infection can be found in 40-100% of various adult populations 
(de la Hoz et al., 2002). It is one of the most important complications associated with 
significant morbidity and mortality in the individuals with compromised immune systems after 
allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (de la Hoz et al., 2002; 
Razonable and Emery, 2004; Maffini et al., 2016). Cytomegalovirus can cause multiorgan 
disease in recipients of stem cell transplants, including pneumonia, hepatitis, gastroenteritis, 
retinitis, and encephalitis, and the disease can develop both early and late after the 
transplantation procedure (Boeckh et al., 2003; Boeckh and Ljungman, 2009; Krause et al., 1997; 
Zaia et al., 1997). In addition to the direct effects that manifest as CMV organ disease or 
symptomatic infection, CMV also is known to have several potential indirect effects. These 
indirect effects include an increased incidence of opportunistic infections, an association between 
CMV and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and reduced survival in HSCT patients 
(Boeckh and Ljungman, 2009). These effects are believed to be mediated by the virus’s ability to 
modulate the immune system, either directly or secondary to the host antiviral response through 
regulation of cytokine, chemokine, and/or growth factor production.
Prevention strategies based on prophylactic antiviral therapy have not been common in HSCT in 
contrast with solid organ transplant (SOT). Before the introduction of ganciclovir (one of the 
available anti-CMV agents), the vast majority of CMV infections occurred in the time period 
between engraftment and day 100 after hematopoietic SCT, with sporadic occurrences before 
engraftment (Bueno et al., 2002). However, whereas the prevalence of early CMV disease 
declined with intense antiviral drug use, the incidence of bacterial and fungal infections as well 
as late CMV disease increased, without an impact on the mortality rate 
(Ariza-Heredia et al., 2014; Boeckh et al., 2003; Zaia et al., 1997).
Although currently available systemic anti-CMV agents, intravenous (IV) or oral ganciclovir, 
oral valganciclovir (a prodrug of ganciclovir with improved bioavailability), IV foscarnet, and 
IV cidofovir are generally effective, however, their use is limited by their respective toxicities; 
bone marrow suppression caused by ganciclovir/valganciclovir and renal impairment caused by 
foscarnet or cidofovir (Boeckh et al., 2003; Ljungman et al., 2001; Maffini et al., 2016;
Reusser et al., 2002; Salzberger et al., 1997). These toxicities are of particular concern in HSCT 
recipients, in whom the bone marrow has been ablated or significantly suppressed, who receive 
ongoing immunosuppressants to prevent GVHD, or who may require the use of other therapies 
that are potentially toxic to the kidneys or other organs.

Regardless of currently available antiviral strategies that exist for various high-risk transplant 
subjects, the adverse effects of these strategies have led to low use of prophylaxis in the HSCT 
recipients who continue to remain at risk for CMV infection within the early (initial ~3 months) 
or later post-transplantation time periods (Boeckh et al., 2003; Legendre and Pascual, 2008).
In contrast, pre-emptive strategies are widely preferred as a prevention method by transplant 
centers and include close surveillance of target viral DNA concentration (CMV viremia), which 
varies depending on host’s risk for CMV disease, current immunosuppression, and treatment 
center practice. Cytomegalovirus viremia is considered one of the most important predictors of 
development of CMV disease (Emery et al., 2000; Humar et al., 1999).
The currently available anti-CMV agents (ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir) 
albeit extensively used in preemptive and treatment setting for CMV infection are not approved 
for this indication, and their use is limited by their toxicities. Also, development of anti-viral 
resistance to these anti-CMV agents is an ongoing clinical problem leading to graft loss and even 
mortality for some transplant patients, including HSCT patients.
Maribavir is currently under development for the treatment of CMV infection or disease, 
including those resistant or refractory to ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir, in 
transplant recipients (HSCT and SOT). Based on clinical studies completed to date, maribavir 
does not appear to cause bone marrow suppression or renal toxicities and therefore may offer a 
safer option for CMV treatment in HSCT patients.
1.2 Maribavir Background and Clinical Information
Maribavir is a potent and selective, orally bioavailable antiviral drug with a novel mechanism of 
action against CMV (Chulay et al., 1999) and a favorable nonclinical and clinical safety profile. 
It is a potent member of a new class of drugs, the benzimidazole ribosides 
(Williams et al., 2003). In side-by-side in vitro assays it is 3- to 20-fold more potent than 
ganciclovir and cidofovir, and at least 100-fold more potent than foscarnet 
(Biron et al., 2002; Drew et al., 2006). Unlike currently available anti-CMV agents that inhibit 
CMV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase, maribavir inhibits the CMV UL97 
serine/threonine kinase by competitively inhibiting the binding of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) 
to the kinase ATP-binding site (Biron et al., 2002; Williams et al., 2003; Krosky et al., 2003; 
Wolf et al., 2001; Kern et al., 2004); the dominant phenotypic inhibitory effect of maribavir is on 
viral DNA assembly and egress of viral capsids from the nucleus of infected cells 
(Biron et al., 2002). Except for ganciclovir, maribavir does not antagonize the effects of other 
anti-viral (anti-CMV) agents. Since ganciclovir is dependent on its initial phosphorylation by the 
viral UL97 kinase, maribavir may antagonize its clinical efficacy. Maribavir is active in vitro 
against strains of CMV that are resistant to ganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir.

1.2.1 Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Drug-Drug Interactions
Following oral administration, maribavir was rapidly and well absorbed with mean peak plasma 
concentrations generally achieved between 1 and 3 hours postdose. Total exposure to maribavir, 
as measured by area under the curve (AUC), was approximately dose-proportional following a 
single dose from 50 to 1600 mg, or multiple doses from 300 to 2400 mg per day. Maribavir 
demonstrates time independent pharmacokinetics (PK). When coadministered with a moderate 
fat meal, maribavir AUC was not changed, while the maximum observed plasma concentration 
(Cmax) was reduced by 28%. Maribavir can be taken with or without food, as the slight to 
moderate decrease in exposure is not considered clinically significant based on the accumulated 
efficacy and safety data. Bioavailability of a 100 mg tablet was unaffected by crushing the tablet 
or changes in gastric pH. Maribavir is highly bound to plasma proteins (98.0% in vitro and 
98.5% to 99.0% ex vivo), and binding appears to be independent of maribavir plasma 
concentrations at the therapeutic doses and populations (healthy subjects, subjects with renal or 
hepatic impairment, and transplant patients). Maribavir can penetrate the blood-retinal barrier, 
with the ratio of vitreous humor to plasma maribavir concentrations ranging from 0.026 to 0.281, 
which is greater than the free fraction in plasma. Maribavir is not expected to cross the blood 
brain barrier in human based on the nonclinical data. Following 400 mg BID doses, the 
elimination half-life (t1/2) of maribavir was estimated to be 4.32 hours in adult transplant 
patients. Due to the relatively short t1/2, steady state was reached within 2 days of dosing, with 
the accumulation ratio ranging from 1.24 to 1.49 for AUC after BID dosing. Maribavir is 
metabolized primarily in the liver through cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 (primary) and CYP1A2 
(secondary) pathways with the formation of the primary metabolite, VP44469. Renal clearance is 
a minor route of elimination of maribavir.
Based on in vivo data and population PK analysis, no maribavir dose adjustment is needed based 
on transplant type, age, gender, race, in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, or in 
patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment.
Maribavir is contraindicated with valganciclovir/ganciclovir as it may antagonize ganciclovir’s 
antiviral effects due to maribavir’s inhibitory effect on UL97 serine/threonine kinase, which is 
required for activation/phosphorylation of ganciclovir. Maribavir can be administered with other 
anti-CMV drugs, including letermovir, foscarnet, and cidofovir as clinically significant PK- or 
pharmacodynamic-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are not expected. Based on extensive in 
vitro and in vivo data, maribavir has a low propensity to cause, or be the victim of DDIs. Dose 
adjustment of maribavir is only needed when maribavir is coadministered with a strong or 
moderate CYP3A4 inducer. With the exceptions of selected immunosuppressants and 
rosuvastatin, coadministration with maribavir does not impact the use or outcomes of a wide 
range of other drugs commonly used in the target patient population.

Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers may significantly decrease the plasma exposure to 
maribavir. Coadministration with rifampin (a strong inducer of CYP3A and moderate inducer of 
CYP1A2) decreased Cmax, AUC and predose trough concentration (Ctrough) by 39%, 60% and 
82%, respectively, and therefore, is not recommended due to the potential for a decrease in 
efficacy of maribavir based on the magnitude of the reduction in maribavir Ctrough. Alternative 
antimicrobial or antituberculosis therapy with a lower CYP3A induction potential (eg, 
pyrazinamide, ethionamide) should be considered.
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma exposure to maribavir. Coadministration 
with ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A and P-glycoprotein [P-gp] inhibitor) increased Cmax and 
AUC by 10% and 53%, respectively. Based on the less than 3-fold increase in maribavir 
exposure expected, lack of dose-limiting toxicity and a wide therapeutic window, maribavir can 
be coadministered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (eg, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, 
itraconazole, posaconazole, and voriconazole) without dose adjustment.
Coadministration of 400 mg BID maribavir with tacrolimus (an immunosuppressant and a 
CYP3A4 and P-gp substrate) increased the tacrolimus whole blood Cmax, AUC, and Ctrough by 
38%, 51%, and 57%, respectively. When immunosuppressants tacrolimus, cyclosporine, 
everolimus, or sirolimus are coadministered with maribavir, their whole blood concentrations 
should be frequently monitored during treatment and after discontinuation of maribavir.
Maribavir is an in vitro inhibitor of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). To be cautious, it is 
recommended that when initiating maribavir dosing in patients who are taking rosuvastatin (a 
sensitive BCRP substrate), patients should be closely monitored for rosuvastatin-related events, 
especially the occurrence of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
1.2.2 Efficacy
Once the safety and tolerability of maribavir was established across a wide range of doses (up to 
2400 mg/day for 28 days) in 17 Phase 1 studies, the clinical development plan focused on 
maribavir as an anti-CMV agent for the prevention of CMV disease in transplant patients. 
Results from the Phase 3 trials for CMV prevention, where maribavir was administered at 
100 mg BID for up to 12 weeks in HSCT recipients and up to 14 weeks in liver transplant 
recipients, failed to show reduction in the incidence of endpoint adjudication committee 
confirmed CMV disease within 6 months following HSCT when compared with placebo 
(Study 1263-300), and failed to show noninferiority to ganciclovir with respect to the incidence 
of endpoint adjudication committee confirmed CMV disease within 6 months following liver 
transplantation (Study 1263-301).

Maribavir was used for treatment of CMV infections in 6 transplant recipients (5 SOT, 1 HSCT) 
under individual emergency investigational new drug (EIND) applications in the 
United States (US) (Avery et al., 2010).
All patients had previously been treated with multiple other anti-CMV drugs, and 4 out of 6 had 
known genotypic CMV resistance to 1 or more of those CMV drugs. For all 6 patients, oral 
maribavir treatment was initiated at a dose of 400 mg BID. In 2 patients, the dose was increased 
to 800 mg BID. The duration of treatment was individualized for each patient based on response. 
Maribavir appeared to be safe and well-tolerated, as it was administered for prolonged periods of 
time (4 out of 6 patients were dosed >6 months). Three patients reported 7 serious adverse events 
(SAEs), all of which were considered to be unrelated to maribavir.
Within 6 weeks of starting maribavir treatment, all subjects had a >1 log decrease in blood CMV 
DNA, and 4 of the 6 patients had no detectable CMV. Cytomegalovirus viremia persisted in 
2 patients despite dosing >6 months; 1 of these patients had unusually low exposure to maribavir 
based on trough blood levels. The other patient in whom CMV viremia persisted had a very high 
baseline CMV DNA level. The genotypic analysis for this patient revealed the presence of 
UL97 maribavir-resistance mutations T409M and H411Y (Strasfeld et al., 2010).
Subsequently, in Europe, more than 200 patients received maribavir through a named patient 
program (NPP), and in France, through the authorized therapeutic-use procedure. Data from only 
a small subset of the French NPP were reported. These data were consistent with the US EIND 
experience. Additional details regarding these patients are available in the maribavir 
investigator’s brochure.
The data obtained from the small number of patients in EIND and NPP, suggested that maribavir 
was associated with a reduction in CMV DNA in the blood in the majority of subjects, and could 
be useful for the treatment of CMV infections including these that are resistant or refractory to 
currently available anti-CMV therapies. As a result, two Phase 2 studies were conducted to 
assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-CMV activity of maribavir for treatment of CMV 
infections: Study SHP620-202 in transplant recipients with CMV infections or disease that are 
resistant or refractory to treatment with anti-CMV agents conducted in the US and 
Study 1263-203 (SHP620-203) in transplant recipients with wild-type CMV infections who do 
not have CMV organ disease (asymptomatic) conducted in Europe. In these studies subjects 
received maribavir at 1 of 3 dose strengths: 400, 800, or 1200 mg BID. Both studies 
demonstrated favorable anti-CMV activity of maribavir and showed that maribavir was 
well-tolerated with no safety concerns at all doses evaluated.

The primary efficacy endpoint for Study SHP620-202 was confirmed undetectable plasma CMV 
DNA within the 6 weeks after starting study drug treatment, defined as 2 consecutive 
postbaseline, on treatment undetectable results (<200 copies/mL) separated by at least 5 days. 
Overall, 67% of subjects achieved confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks. 
Among maribavir groups, there was no strong evidence of dose strength differentiation in the 
proportion of subjects achieving the endpoint. Among subjects with ≥1 investigator-reported 
CMV genetic mutation associated with resistance to ganciclovir/valganciclovir or foscarnet at 
baseline, 43/71 (61%) achieved confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks after 
starting treatment with maribavir.
Secondary efficacy endpoints for Study SHP620-202 included CMV recurrence, defined as 
achievement of undetectable plasma CMV DNA in at least 2 consecutive samples separated by at 
least 5 days at any time after Day 1, followed by detectable plasma CMV DNA in at least 
2 consecutive samples separated by at least 5 days. Overall, 30/86 (35%) maribavir subjects had 
a CMV recurrence at any time during the study (Note: Percentage is based on the number of 
subjects achieving undetectable CMV DNA). Twenty-four of the 30 subjects had a CMV 
recurrence while on study drug. Thirteen of these 24 subjects developed UL97 mutations 
previously described to confer resistance to maribavir that were not present prior to study drug 
dosing. The remaining 6 maribavir subjects had a CMV recurrence after the end of treatment 
with study drug.
The primary efficacy endpoint for Study SHP620-203 was confirmed undetectable plasma 
CMV DNA within 3 and 6 weeks after starting study drug treatment, defined as 2 consecutive 
postbaseline, on treatment undetectable results (<200 copies/mL) separated by at least 5 days. 
The proportion of subjects with undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 3 and 6 weeks 
after starting study drug treatment was numerically higher in the maribavir group than the 
valganciclovir group. Among the 3 maribavir dose strength groups, there was no difference 
in the proportion of subjects achieving the endpoint. In the subgroup of subjects whose 
transplant type was HSCT, a numerically higher percentage of subjects in the overall 
maribavir group (75%) than the valganciclovir group (48%) achieved confirmed undetectable 
plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks. Although the percentage of subjects with high baseline 
plasma CMV DNA (≥10000 copies/mL) was similar between the overall maribavir and 
valganciclovir groups (34% vs. 33%), a numerically higher percentage of maribavir subjects 
(77%) achieved confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks compared with 
valganciclovir (65%).
Secondary efficacy endpoints for Study SHP620-203 included CMV recurrence; this was 
assessed within 6 weeks after starting study drug treatment and within the study participation 
period.

Overall, 22/98 (22%) maribavir subjects and 5/28 (18%) valganciclovir subjects experienced a
CMV recurrence within the study participation period (Note: Percentages are based on the 
number of subjects achieving undetectable CMV DNA). Four of the 22 maribavir subjects 
recurred while on study drug (2 subjects each in the 400 mg BID and 800 mg BID groups). All 
4 of these subjects developed UL97 mutations previously described to confer resistance to 
maribavir that were not present prior to study drug dosing. The remaining 18 maribavir subjects 
and all 5 valganciclovir subjects experienced a CMV recurrence after the end of study drug 
treatment.
Phase 3 registration trials have been planned based on the results from these Phase 2 studies for 
CMV treatment.
1.2.3 Safety
Maribavir has been administered across a broad range of oral doses from 50-2400 mg/day. 
Clinical safety experience has been obtained from 17 Phase 1 studies in adult healthy volunteers, 
special populations (subjects with renal and hepatic impairment, and stable renal transplant 
recipients), and HIV-infected subjects.
Maribavir had a favorable safety and tolerability profile in both the Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials for 
CMV prophylaxis. Adverse events (AEs) were most commonly associated with gastrointestinal 
(GI) disorders (eg, diarrhea, dysgeusia, nausea, and vomiting). These events were generally of
mild or moderate intensity. There were no signals of clinically significant effects of maribavir on 
vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, or laboratory findings in the studies conducted 
for CMV prophylaxis.
In both Phase 2 studies for treatment of CMV infection (Studies SHP620-202 and SHP620-303), 
subjects received maribavir at 1 of 3 dose strengths: 400, 800, or 1200 mg BID, and both 
studies demonstrated that maribavir was well-tolerated with no safety concerns at all doses 
evaluated. In Study SHP620-202, treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) that occurred were events 
already observed in previous studies (ie, dysgeusia, GI events, elevated immunosuppressant drug 
levels, and rash) and there were no additional safety concerns raised from this study. In 
Study SHP620-203, TEAEs that occurred at a higher frequency in maribavir subjects compared 
with valganciclovir were events already observed in previous studies with maribavir 
(ie, dysgeusia, GI events, and elevated immunosuppressant drug levels). Analyses of clinical 
laboratory, vital signs, and ECG data did not identify any clinically meaningful differences 
across the maribavir treatment groups.

Based on the Phase 2 CMV treatment and Phase 3 CMV prophylaxis studies, the adverse drug 
reactions (ADRs) associated with maribavir use are: abdominal pain, abdominal pain upper, 
decreased appetite, diarrhea, dizziness, dysgeusia, fatigue, headache, immunosuppressant drug 
level increased, nausea, and vomiting.
To date, maribavir has shown an overall favorable safety profile in placebo-controlled studies, 
open-label studies, and in studies that compared maribavir with other CMV therapies 
(ganciclovir, valganciclovir) for prophylaxis and for CMV treatment in HSCT and SOT patients. 
Treatment effect on viral load reduction (confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA: 67% of 
subjects within 6 weeks in Study SHP620-202; 60.5% of subjects in 3 weeks and 77.3% of 
subjects in 6 weeks in Study SHP620-203) seen in Phase 2 treatment studies coupled with 
acceptable safety and tolerability establish the positive benefit-risk profile and warrant further 
investigation of maribavir in the treatment of CMV infections in transplant recipients.

2. STUDY OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE
2.1 Rationale for the Study
There are no anti-viral drugs specifically approved for treatment of CMV infection in transplant 
recipients, including in pediatric populations. However, both (IV) ganciclovir, approved for the 
treatment of CMV retinitis in immunocompromised patients including patients with AIDS and 
prevention of CMV disease in transplant recipients at risk for CMV disease, and oral 
valganciclovir approved for treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS and prevention of 
CMV disease in solid organ transplant recipient are widely used in clinical practice to treat CMV 
infection. The most common adverse effect of both treatments is bone marrow suppression, 
which is of particular concern for HSCT recipients whose marrow has been ablated or who are 
significantly immunosuppressed to prevent GVHD. Contributing factors for development of 
cytopenias include viral infection, septicemia, GVHD, and myelotoxic drugs in addition to 
valganciclovir. Of the commonly used drugs with myelotoxic potential, ganciclovir is 
particularly prone to cause neutropenia. The underlying mechanism of ganciclovir-related 
neutropenia is a dose-dependent inhibition of DNA-polymerase in hematopoietic progenitor cells 
(Sommadossi and Carlisle, 1987). The rates of valganciclovir-related neutropenia in HSCT range 
from 19% (Barkam et al., 2012) and 33% (Takahata et al., 2015) to 55% (Boeckh et al., 2015). In 
the study by Salzberger et al. (1997), a clear trend was observed between the degree of 
neutropenia and the rate of bacterial infections while an increased incidence of fungal infections 
was present only in patients with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of less than 200/μL, 
whereas there was no significant trend over the different degrees of neutropenia. In the same 
study neutropenia was found to be an independent risk factor for poor long-term outcome. This 
was shown as a negative effect on overall survival and nonrelapse mortality.
Maribavir is an anti-CMV agent that may be of particular benefit to transplant patients as it does 
not appear to cause bone marrow suppression. In addition to the favorable safety profile of 
maribavir observed in earlier Phase 1-3 studies (studies evaluating prophylactic administration of 
maribavir), results from a recent large Phase 2 randomized trial (Study 1263-203) support the 
safety, tolerability, as well as anti-viral activity of maribavir as a potential option for the 
treatment of CMV infections in transplant recipients. Study 1263-203 was a multicenter, 
randomized, dose-ranging, parallel-group study of maribavir versus valganciclovir for the 
treatment of CMV infections in HSCT or SOT recipients. Eligible subjects were randomized in a 
1:1:1:1 allocation ratio (40 subjects per group) to receive oral maribavir at 400 mg, 800 mg, or 
1200 mg BID; or valganciclovir (900 mg BID for 3 weeks, 900 mg once daily (QD) after 
3 weeks) for up to 12 weeks. Maribavir, at doses ≥400 mg BID, had comparable efficacy to 
valganciclovir at clearing CMV viremia and was generally well tolerated across the dose range 
studied.

In the subgroup of subjects whose transplant type was HSCT, a numerically higher percentage 
of subjects in the overall maribavir group (75%) than the valganciclovir group (48%) achieved 
confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA within 6 weeks of treatment. There was a 
higher incidence of neutropenia through Week 12 for valganciclovir-treated subjects 
compared with maribavir-treated subjects. This was evident for both measured degrees of 
neutropenia: 18% versus 5% (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <1000/mm3), and 5% versus 
2% (ANC<500/mm3) through Week 12 for the valganciclovir and overall maribavir groups, 
respectively.
This Phase 3 study is designed to further assess and demonstrate the efficacy and safety of 
maribavir, administered at 400 mg BID, compared to valganciclovir administered at 900 mg BID 
for the treatment of asymptomatic CMV infection in HSCT recipients.
2.2 Rationale for the Study Design
This Phase 3 study will be conducted in HSCT recipients due to the relatively high risk for 
CMV infection resulting from ongoing immunosuppression to prevent GVHD. Ganciclovir and 
valganciclovir are commonly used to treat CMV infection in HSCT recipients and are generally 
considered effective, but present toxicity issues with respect to bone marrow suppression which 
may require management with hematopoietic growth factors, discontinuation of treatment, 
and may increase risk for opportunistic infections (Busca et al., 2007; Reusser et al., 2002). 
Additional constraints are present if treatment initiation is required in the pre-engraftment period. 
Alternative treatment by foscarnet or cidofovir is limited by nephrotoxicity of these medications 
(Reusser et al., 2002; Tomblyn et al., 2009). Maribavir may address safety limitations of 
currently available treatment.
Oral valganciclovir is the active control for this study to allow for the interpretation of 
virologic response to maribavir. While IV ganciclovir may be appropriate for certain 
patients, it presents the challenges inherently associated with administration of any IV 
medication, particularly when treatment may last longer. Oral valganciclovir (Valcyte®) 
900 mg provides ganciclovir exposure comparable to that of IV ganciclovir 5 mg/kg 
(refer to the Valcyte Prescribing Information as documented in the Study Pharmacy Manual; 
Winston et al., 2006) and the VICTOR study provided evidence that valganciclovir has 
comparable safety and is not inferior to standard IV ganciclovir treatment for eradication of 
viremia and clinical success in solid organ transplant recipients with CMV disease (Asberg et al., 
2007; Tomblyn et al., 2009).

Study subjects will be randomized to receive either maribavir or valganciclovir for 8 weeks 
during the double-blind treatment phase. In the SHP620-203 study (HSCT and SOT recipients 
with asymptomatic CMV infection), the majority of maribavir and valganciclovir subjects 
achieved confirmed undetectable plasma CMV DNA levels by Week 6 of study drug treatment, 
while CMV recurrence occurred at rates expected for such a population with continued 
immunosuppression. Maribavir administered at 400 mg, 800 mg, and 1200 mg BID achieved 
CMV viremia clearance within 3 weeks to 6 weeks after starting the study drug treatment. 
Therefore, an 8-week treatment regimen will be administered in this Phase 3 study to account for 
maximum treatment period of 6 weeks where maribavir demonstrated a comparable efficacy to 
valganciclovir (900 mg BID from Weeks 1-3, and 900 mg QD after Week 3) in 
Study SHP620-203, adding 2 weeks for secondary prophylaxis.
As there are currently no approved therapies for the treatment of CMV infections in the pediatric 
transplant recipient population, this study will initiate the assessment of maribavir use in the 
pediatric population by enrolling adolescent subjects ≥16 to <18 years of age.
2.3 Rationale for Dose Selection
Results from the Phase 2 studies SHP620-202 (HSCT and SOT recipients with resistant or 
refractory CMV infections) and SHP620-203 (HSCT and SOT recipients with asymptomatic 
CMV infection) demonstrated comparable efficacy across the 400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, 
and 1200 mg BID maribavir dose groups in the clearance of CMV viremia within up to 
6 weeks after starting study drug treatment. In both Phase 2 studies, the most common 
treatment-emergent adverse events included dysgeusia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and 
elevated immunosuppressant drug concentration levels. There was a dose-dependence for 
dysgeusia and elevated immunosuppressant drug concentration levels. These findings 
(comparable efficacy and better safety profile with the 400 mg dose) support the further 
evaluation of 400 mg BID maribavir for the treatment of CMV.
Currently available maribavir pharmacokinetics, PK modeling and extrapolation of systemic 
exposure from adults, and safety and tolerability data in adults support the administration of the 
400 mg BID dose in adolescents who weigh ≥35 kg and are able to swallow tablets. Per Lu and 
Rosenbaum (2014), the expression of CYP3A4 and CYP 2C19, which are primary enzymes for 
maribavir metabolism in the liver, occurs during the first weeks of life. The expression of 
CYP1A2, which is also involved with maribavir metabolism, the last enzyme to develop, is 
present by 1 to 3 months of life. By 1 to 2 years of age, all the isoenzyme activities are similar to 
those of adults. Therefore, the bioavailability and systemic exposure of maribavir in adolescent 
subjects (≥16 and <18 years of age) is not expected to be different from adults at the same oral 
dose.

Although typically valganciclovir treatment in HSCT patients is started as an induction dose of 
900 mg BID for up to 14 days and then reduced to a maintenance dose of 900 mg QD for a 
further 2 weeks or until CMV viral load clearance (Tomblyn et al., 2009), a different dosing 
strategy was selected for this study based on input from regulatory authorities. Treatment with 
valganciclovir 900 mg BID for the duration of 8 weeks was chosen in order to eliminate a 
potential bias for efficacy in favor of the investigational treatment (maribavir) by administering 
the comparator (valganciclovir) at the higher dosage throughout. Treatment with valganciclovir 
at a lower dosage based on CrCl would be allowed to ensure comparable exposures in renally 
impaired subjects.

3. STUDY DESIGN
3.1 Study Design and Flow Chart
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study of 
maribavir compared to valganciclovir for the treatment of asymptomatic CMV infection in 
HSCT recipients. “Asymptomatic subjects” at baseline will be defined as HSCT recipients who 
do not have tissue-invasive CMV disease as determined by the investigator according to the 
criteria specified by Ljungman et al. (2017). The study will assess the efficacy of maribavir by 
measuring the plasma CMV DNA clearance. To be eligible for the study, subjects must have a 
documented asymptomatic CMV infection with a screening value of CMV DNA ≥1365 IU/mL 
to ≤273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to ≤91000 IU/mL in plasma in 2 consecutive 
assessments, separated by at least 1 day, as determined by local or central specialty laboratory 
quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or comparable quantitative CMV DNA results.
Results for CMV and, in subjects with very low viral load, evaluations for high-risk CMV 
infection (Section 7.1.1) should be available before the subject is randomized to verify subject 
eligibility for the study. Both samples should be taken within 14 days prior to randomization 
with the second sample obtained within 5 days before randomization. The same laboratory and
sample type should be used for these assessments. Subjects must not have CMV tissue invasive 
disease (symptomatic CMV infection), must not have a CMV infection that is known to be 
genotypically resistant to anti-CMV drugs, and must meet the remaining specified eligibility 
criteria. Subjects treated with ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or letermovir for the current 
CMV infection should not be treated with these anti-CMV agents for longer than 72 hours prior 
to enrolling in the study.
All eligible subjects will be stratified based on last prebaseline whole blood or plasma 
CMV DNA concentration (high viral load with CMV DNA ≥27300 IU/mL in whole blood or 
≥9100 IU/mL in plasma, low viral load with CMV DNA ≥2730 IU/mL to <27300 IU/mL in 
whole blood or ≥910 IU/mL to <9100 IU/mL in plasma, and in subjects with high-risk infection, 
very low viral load with CMV DNA <2730 IU/mL in whole blood or <910 IU/mL in plasma) as 
determined by the local or central specialty laboratory qPCR; and acute GVHD status (presence 
or absence at baseline). Subjects in each stratum will then be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio 
to receive double-blind maribavir (400 mg BID) or valganciclovir (900 mg BID, 450 mg BID, or 
450 mg QD, based on subject's CrCl at eligibility) for 8 weeks. Valganciclovir dose may be 
adjusted during the study for renal function impairment or neutropenia.
An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be established to assess the data at 
specified periodic intervals for safety and to ensure the validity and scientific merit of the trial.

COVID-19 public health emergency, remote visits may be conducted by phone (eg, collection of 
AEs and monitoring), video conferencing (Telehealth or Telemedicine, physician), or site staff 
visiting the participant’s residence. Local visits and telemedicine must comply with national and 
local laws and regulations. The type of alternative visit must be recorded on the eCRF.
For home healthcare visits, collection of clinical laboratory samples (blood specimen collection 
or other diagnostic tests) may be performed by a qualified and authorized Principal Investigator’s 
(PI) designee who can visit the trial participant’s residence.
Screening Phase
As presented in Schedule of Assessment 1, Table 1, approximately 612 subjects will be screened 
to establish eligibility for study participation. All screening procedures will be completed within 
14 days prior to initiation of study treatment, with the exception of the following:
1. Screening clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, and pregnancy) must be 
performed within 3 days prior to initiation of study treatment.

2. Subjects must have a documented CMV infection with a screening value of CMV DNA 
≥1365 IU/mL to ≤273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to ≤91000 IU/mL in 
plasma in 2 consecutive assessments, separated by at least 1 day, as determined by local or 
central specialty laboratory qPCR or comparable quantitative CMV DNA results. The first 
sample must be obtained within 14 days prior to study enrollment (ie, start of study 
treatment) at Visit 2/Day 0. The second sample must be obtained within 5 days prior to the 
study enrollment.
3. Historical results for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) tests performed within 
3 months prior to the study treatment initiation will be acceptable for screening. If no HIV 
test result within 3 months is available, the subject must have testing done locally during 
the screening period and have negative results available prior to randomization.
Study Treatment Phase
Approximately 550 subjects with an asymptomatic CMV infection who meet eligibility 
requirements during the screening phase, including the presence of quantifiable (local or central 
specialty laboratory) whole blood or plasma CMV DNA levels as specified (≥1365 IU/mL in 
whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL in plasma), will be stratified based on their CMV viral load and 
GVHD status, and then randomized 1:1 at Visit 2/Day 0 to receive either double-blind 
maribavir/placebo or valganciclovir/placebo (collectively, the study treatment) for 8 weeks.
Historical laboratory results for tests within the time period specified in the Schedule of 
Assessment 1 (Table 1) may be used for eligibility assessment (HIV test results within 3 months, 
relevant hematology, and chemistry results). The Screening and Visit 2/Day 0 visits can occur on 
the same day, if laboratory results are available for the determination of eligibility. Local 
laboratory results may be used for stratification and randomization if central laboratory results 
are not available at Visit 2/Day 0.
All Visit 2/Day 0 procedures, including blood collection for CMV DNA quantification, 
hematology and chemistry analysis in the central laboratory, must be completed and documented 
prior to randomization and study treatment administration and all clinical laboratory results 
required for eligibility verification must be available prior to randomization, including 2 separate 
CMV DNA assessments. Central laboratory results of CMV DNA quantification and genotyping, 
hematology and chemistry from samples taken at Visit 2/Day 0 will not be available for use for 
screening the subjects. Initiation of study treatment (ie, first dose) will only occur after 
completion of all required Visit 2/Day 0 procedures, confirmation of eligibility, and completion 
of randomization. This will be done under the supervision of investigator site personnel. Blood 
sample for central laboratory CMV DNA quantification and genotyping will be obtained at 
Visit 2/Day 0.

If baseline central laboratory CMV DNA quantification results do not meet the specified 
screening value of ≥455 IU/mL, the subject will remain in the study, but will be excluded from 
the Per Protocol population for efficacy analysis.
All subjects will perform study-specific evaluations weekly during the 8-week study treatment 
phase. Refer to Schedule of Assessment 1 (Table 1) for a complete list of the evaluations 
performed in the study treatment phase.
Subjects randomized to receive maribavir will take the 400 mg BID dose for the 8 weeks of the 
study treatment phase. Maribavir 200 mg strengths will be utilized for the daily dosing. Subjects 
randomized to valganciclovir will take the 900 mg BID for the duration of 8 weeks of the study 
treatment phase (unless dose adjustment is required for moderate renal impairment) and will 
utilize 450 mg strength tablets.
Depending on the time of the first dose of study treatment on Visit 2/Day 0, a second dose 
should be administered on Visit 2/Day 0 provided that doses can be separated by a minimum of 
8 hours; otherwise, only 1 dose should be administered on Visit 2/Day 0. Study treatment will 
then be administered (preferably) every 12 hours (q12h). When q12h dosing is not feasible, the 
doses should be separated by a minimum of 8 hours.
To protect the study blind, subjects will be required to take 2 tablets of their assigned study 
treatment and 2 tablets of the placebo q12h in a double-dummy format as shown in Table 5 in 
Section 6.2.3.
Subjects randomized to receive valganciclovir will follow the 900 mg BID dosing regimen for 
the 8 weeks of the study treatment phase, with the exceptions of permitted lower starting dose 
based on renal function, or dose adjustments based on renal function and/or neutropenia (Table 6
and Table 7, respectively; see Section 6.2.3). The clinical laboratory test results (see 
Section 7.2.3.4) for a minimum of complete blood count with differential and serum creatinine 
will be verified before providing the revised valganciclovir dose.
In exceptional situations, eg, neutropenia or other adverse events, study treatment may be 
interrupted at investigator's discretion for a maximum of 7 consecutive days, and this 
interruption will not result in permanent study treatment discontinuation. Up to 2 study treatment 
interruptions for a total of up 7 days will be allowed. A third study treatment interruption will 
lead to permanent study treatment discontinuation; the subjects will complete the end of 
treatment procedures described for Visit 10/Study Week 8 in the Schedule of Assessment 1 
(Table 1), and will follow a modified schedule of assessments through the remaining weekly 
visits scheduled for the study treatment phase and the regular schedule of assessments through 
the 12-week follow-up phase as described in Section 4.5.

Various clinical scenarios of neutropenia, as shown in Table 7, will be programmed in the 
interactive response technology (IRT) and appropriate options will be selected by the investigator. 
Interruptions and discontinuation of study treatment will be conducted in a blinded manner; 
therefore, it is possible that treatment with either valganciclovir or maribavir will be interrupted or 
discontinued for neutropenia presence. The investigator may also select to interrupt study treatment, 
for other adverse events, regardless of the treatment assignment (maribavir or valganciclovir). If 
study drug is interrupted for any reason and subsequently resumed, the end of the study drug 
administration period would remain fixed at a maximum of 8 weeks after the date of the start of 
treatment.
If the subject is unable to travel to the site for the treatment visits, these visits may be on exceptional 
basis performed remotely (ie, at subjects’ home) by a qualified and authorized PI’s designee, and 
only if permitted by local laws and regulations. Clinical laboratory samples will be collected, and all 
other follow-up assessments will be completed. Adverse events and SAE collection may be 
completed by telephone follow-up call on the day of the scheduled visit. It is recommended that the 
end of study visit be completed at the site if the subject is able to travel.
All subjects who complete the study treatment phase through Visit 10/Week 8 will enter the 12-week 
follow-up phase. See Section 4.5 for details regarding discontinuation and/or withdrawal from the 
study treatment/study.
Follow-up Phase
Study-specific evaluations including central specialty laboratory CMV testing and safety assessments 
will occur weekly for the first 4 weeks, then every 2 weeks for the final 8 weeks of the 12-Week 
Follow-up Phase. See Schedule of Assessment 2 (Table 2) for a complete list of evaluations. See 
Section 4.5 for details regarding discontinuation and withdrawal.
If the subject is unable to travel to the site for the follow-up visits, these visits may be on exceptional 
basis performed remotely (ie, at subjects’ home) by a qualified and authorized PI’s designee, and 
only if permitted by local laws and regulations. Clinical laboratory samples will be collected, and all 
other follow-up assessments will be completed. Adverse events and SAE collection may be 
completed by telephone follow-up call on the day of the scheduled visit. It is recommended that the 
end of study visit be completed at the site if the subject is able to travel.
3.2 Duration and Study Completion Definition
The subject’s maximum duration of participation is expected to be approximately 22 weeks 
(screening: up to 2 weeks; double-blind study treatment phase: 8 weeks; follow-up phase: 12 weeks).

Follow-up visits will occur weekly for the first 4 weeks (Weeks 9-12), followed by visits every 
2 weeks for the last 8 weeks (Weeks 12-20) of this 12-week follow-up phase.
The study will be completed in approximately 48 months. The Study Completion Date is defined 
as the date the final subject, across all sites, completes their final protocol-defined assessment. 
This includes the follow-up visit or contact, whichever is later. The Study Completion Date is 
used to ascertain timing for study results posting and reporting.
3.3 Sites and Regions
This is a multicenter study. Approximately 105 sites in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific 
will participate.
3.4 Changes to Study Procedures Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
The following information provides guidance regarding changes to study procedures that may be 
implemented for study participants or study sites affected by a pandemic (eg, coronavirus disease 
[COVID-19]) that require physical distancing that may result in subjects missing their visits. 
This guidance takes references from the FDA Guidance on Conduct of Clinical Trials of Medical 
Products during COVID-19 Public Health Emergency – Guidance for Industry, Investigators, 
and Institutional Review Boards, March 2020, updated 27 January 2021; the EMA Guidance on 
the Management of Clinical Trials During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic, Version 4 
(04 February 2021); and the EMA Points to consider on implications of Coronavirus disease 
(COVID-19) on methodological aspects of ongoing clinical trials, dated 26 June 2020.
Because a pandemic (eg, COVID-19) may peak in different regions at different times and 
restrictions implemented by local laws and recommendations may vary, any decision on 
procedural changes should be made on a case-by-case basis by the principal investigator in 
consultation with the study team and the medical team as needed, while maintaining patient 
safety and confidentiality as the priority.
Procedural changes due to COVID-19 may include the following (refer to DTP guidance 
document for further details):

Allow study sites to follow COVID-19 screening requirements per local regulations.

Informed Consent Procedure: If necessary and permitted by local laws and regulations, 
informed consent from a potential or current trial participant may be obtained via 
electronic informed consent (eIC) capabilities, or an electronic face-to-face consent 
interview when these individuals are unable to travel to the site (see Section 4). The site
must contact the sponsor for approval of the alternative method for obtaining informed 
consent prior to implementation.

Clinical Study Protocol: SHP620-302 Protocol Amendment 9
15 Sep 2021

Study Visit 1 (Screening) and Study Visit 2 (Randomization) must be done with the subject 
present at the investigative site. Study Visits 2A through 10 may be conducted at the clinic or 
by optional home healthcare visits to extend flexibility to subjects during the COVID-19 
public health emergency, although it is preferable to conduct Study Visit 10 (End of 
Treatment) and Study Visit 18 (End of Study) with the subject present at the investigative 
site. The data collected from home healthcare visits may be handled differently in the final 
data analysis, with this documented in the statistical analysis plan. 

More flexibility by allowing some assessments and, where allowed per local laws and 
regulations, remote source document verification to be conducted remotely (see 
Study Schedule). 

‘Remote visits’ via virtual communications (eg, TeleHealth application) may be performed as 
a safety check on subject well-being, concomitant medication use, etc.

For home healthcare visits, collection of clinical laboratory samples (blood specimen 
collection or other diagnostic tests) may be performed by a qualified and authorized PI’s 
designee who can visit the trial participant’s residence.

ECG procedures: For home healthcare visits, ECGs may be performed by a qualified health 
care professional who is certified/authorized by the PI to perform such tests routinely.

Missed clinic visits or subject withdrawals due to COVID-19 must be recorded on the eCRF 
(see Section 4.5, Discontinuation and/or Withdrawal of Subjects).

Subjects who discontinued from screening due to COVID-19-related factors but were 
otherwise qualified to participate in the trial may be rescreened at any time if the Takeda 
medical monitor agrees (see Section 7.1.1, Screening Period).

Allow transfer of study participants to investigational sites away from risk zones or closer to 
their home to sites already participating in the trial or new ones.

Deviations from the protocol-specified procedures (eg, not collecting a protocol-specified 
specimen, such as post-dose bloodwork) will be recorded as related to COVID-19.

Alternative study drug deliveries may include dispensing additional study drug at clinic visits 
or direct-to-patient (DTP) delivery of the study drug from the investigational site to subjects 
in compliance with national laws or temporary national emergency measures (see 
Section 6.4, Drug Accountability). When utilizing DTP, the investigator remains responsible 
for ensuring the safety of subjects and the dispensation of the investigational product.

In accordance with local laws and regulations, relevant health authorities are to be notified of 
participants who contract COVID-19 during the study.

the study before completing any study-related procedures. As applicable, a parent/both 
parents or legally authorized representative (LAR) must provide signature of informed 
consent and there must be documentation of assent by the subject before completing any 
study-related procedures. During the COVID-19 public health emergency, informed 
consent from a potential or current trial participant may, if permitted by local laws and 
regulations, be obtained via electronic informed consent (eIC) capabilities or an electronic 
face-to-face consent interview when these individuals are unable to travel to the site (FDA 
COVID-19 Guidance, 27 Jan 2021, Q11).
2.
Be ≥16 years of age at the time of consent.
3.
Be a recipient of hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

≥1365 IU/mL to ≤273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to ≤91000 IU/mL in 
plasma in 2 consecutive assessments, separated by at least 1 day, as determined by local or 
central specialty laboratory quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or comparable 
quantitative CMV DNA results. Both samples should be taken within 14 days prior to 
randomization with second sample obtained within 5 days prior to randomization. Same 
laboratory and same sample type (whole blood or plasma) should be used for these 
assessments. Asymptomatic CMV infection is defined as an infection that does not present 
with tissue invasive CMV disease, as assessed by the investigator.
Subjects with CMV DNA <910 and ≥455 IU/mL in plasma or <2730 and ≥1365 IU/mL in 
whole blood will also need to meet at least 1 of the following criteria for high-risk CMV 
infection to be eligible:

There are no data from the use of valganciclovir in pregnant subjects. Its active metabolite, 
ganciclovir, readily diffuses across the human placenta. Based on its pharmacological 
mechanism of action and reproductive toxicity observed in animal studies with ganciclovir, 
valganciclovir should be considered a potential teratogen and carcinogen in humans (refer to the 
Valcyte Prescribing Information and Valcyte Summary of Product Characteristics as documented 
in the Study Pharmacy Manual).
All female subjects of child-bearing potential will be tested and should have negative 
serum -human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test results prior to randomization. They must 
agree to abstain from sexual activity that could result in pregnancy or agree to use an acceptable 
method of contraception. Females of child-bearing potential must be advised to use acceptable 
contraceptives throughout the study period and for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. 
If hormonal contraceptives are used they should be administered according to the package insert 
and in conjunction with another acceptable method of contraception. Females of child-bearing 
potential who are not currently sexually active must agree to use acceptable contraception, as 
defined below, if they become sexually active during the period of the study and 90 days 
following the last dose of study treatment. Sexually active females of child-bearing potential 
should be using an acceptable form of contraception, as defined below.
Methods of contraception that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly are considered highly effective birth control methods for females of 
child-bearing potential are presented below:

Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with 
inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) or progestogen-only hormonal 
contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable [low user 
dependency]) stabilized for at least 30 days prior to the screening visit (Visit 1), plus 
condoms.
Note: Since hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the study 
treatment(s) in the study, which may reduce the efficacy of the contraception method, this 
method must be supplemented with a barrier method (preferably male condom).

Intrauterine devices (IUD, all types) or intrauterine hormone releasing systems (IUS) plus 
condoms. Note: contraception methods that in the context of the clinical trial facilitation 
group (CTFG) guidance are considered to have lower user dependency.

Bilateral tubal occlusion.


Vasectomized male partner is a highly effective birth control method provided that partner is 
the sole sexual partner of the female trial participant who is of childbearing potential and that 
the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success.

Sexual abstinence defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire 
period of risk associated with the study treatments. Note: the reliability of sexual abstinence 
needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and 
usual lifestyle of the subject.
Female subjects 16 years of age and older, who are amenorrheic for reasons other than 
menopause (12 consecutive months of spontaneous amenorrhea in patients with previous normal 
menstruation), including subjects who did not yet have the menarche, would be allowed to 
participate provided they agree to abstinence or an acceptable form of contraception, as defined 
below.
Female subjects who are postmenopausal (12 consecutive months of spontaneous amenorrhea) or 
surgically sterile (having undergone 1 of the following surgical acts: hysterectomy, bilateral 
tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) and are at least 6 weeks 
poststerilization do not need a pregnancy test performed prior to randomization and do not have 
to agree to the use of acceptable methods of contraception.
4.4.2 Male Contraception
Per Clinical Trial Facilitation Group requirements (CTFG), male subjects will be required to use 
a condom in conjunction with a highly effective method of birth control for their female partners 
of childbearing age. Both male participants and their female partners must use this form of birth 
control from the time prior to first dosing until 90 days after the last dose of study treatment 
(ie, maribavir or valganciclovir). For male subjects, sexual intercourse with pregnant partners 
should also be avoided during the course of the study unless condoms are used from the time 
prior to the first dose until 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. Male subjects must not 
donate sperm until 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.
4.5 Discontinuation and/or Withdrawal of Subjects
Subjects Who Withdraw from the Study
A subject may withdraw (eg, withdraw consent) from the study at any time for any reason 
without prejudice to their future medical care by the physician or at the institution. The 
investigator or the sponsor may withdraw the subject at any time (eg, in the interest of the 
subject’s safety).

The investigator is encouraged to discuss withdrawal of a subject from study treatment with the 
sponsor’s medical monitor when possible. Subjects who withdraw consent during the study 
treatment phase will be asked to undergo all end of treatment evaluations and procedures listed 
for Visit 10/Week 8, if they agree; no further follow-up will be performed.
Subjects who withdraw from the study during the follow-up phase will undergo all end of study 
evaluations and procedures listed for Visit 18/Week 20 (Follow-up Week 12) as soon as possible 
and whenever possible, if they agree, prior to initiation of any nonstudy anti-CMV treatment (as 
deemed by the investigator); no further follow-up will be performed.
Subjects Who Discontinue from Screening
Subjects who discontinue from screening due to COVID-19-related factors but are otherwise 
qualified to participate in the trial may be rescreened at any time if the Takeda medical monitor 
agrees.
Subjects Who Discontinue Study Treatment
Subjects who permanently discontinue study treatment, but do not withdraw consent, will 
complete the end of treatment procedures described for Visit 10/Study Week 8 in the Schedule of 
Assessment 1 (Table 1); these subjects will follow a modified schedule of assessments through 
the remaining weekly visits scheduled for the study treatment phase and the regular schedule of 
assessments through the 12-week follow-up phase. The end of treatment sample for 
immunosuppressant drug concentration level will be collected at the next visit scheduled 1 week 
after the treatment discontinuation. Subjects who discontinue study treatment early will not be 
asked to complete the following procedures after the end of treatment visit for subsequent visits 
in the treatment phase: the use of the diary for study treatment compliance, dispense or use of 
any study treatment, and PK sample collection. After completing the 8-week duration specified 
for the study treatment phase, subjects will enter the 12-week follow-up phase. After the 
permanent study treatment discontinuation and until the end of the study, subjects might be 
administered other anti-CMV treatment as deemed necessary by the investigator.
Subjects who discontinue will not be replaced.
4.5.1 Reasons for Discontinuation and/or Withdrawal
The reason for study treatment discontinuation and/or withdrawal must be determined by the 
investigator and recorded in the subject’s medical record and on the case report form (CRF). If a 
subject discontinues treatment or is withdrawn from the study for more than 1 reason, each 
reason should be documented in the source document and the most clinically relevant reason 
should be entered in the CRF.

Reasons for discontinuation include but are not limited to:

Withdrawal of consent (by subject or by a parent or both parents/legal guardian for 
pediatric subjects). If a subject chooses to withdraw from study participation due to 
personal concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic (other than a COVID-19-related 
AE), this should be specified as the reason for subject withdrawal in the eCRF.

Adverse event (must specify on the CRF)

CMV central nervous system (CNS) infection (Note: Maribavir is unlikely to penetrate the 
blood-brain barrier in humans based on animal data. If a subject in the study develops 
CMV CNS infection [eg, meningo-encephalitis], then the subject will discontinue study 
treatment in order to be treated for this condition.)

Protocol deviation (eg, lack of compliance, use of experimental drug)

Pregnancy

Sponsor decision (must specify on the CRF)

Death

Lost to follow-up

Lack of efficacy

Other (must specify on the CRF, including unavoidable circumstances such as the 
COVID-19 pandemic)
The end of study treatment and the end of study date for each subject (ie, the date of completion 
of the study or premature withdrawal from the study) will be recorded in the CRF.
4.5.2 Subjects “Lost to Follow-up” Prior to Last Scheduled Visit
A minimum of 3 documented attempts must be made to contact any subject lost to follow-up at 
any time point prior to the last scheduled contact (office visit or telephone contact). At least 1 of 
these documented attempts must include a written communication sent to the subject’s last 
known address via courier or mail (with an acknowledgement of receipt request) asking that they 
return to the site for final safety evaluations and return any unused investigational product.

5.2 Concomitant Medications, Therapies, and Procedures
Concomitant treatment refers to all treatment taken between the dates of the first dose of 
investigational product and the end of the follow-up period, inclusive. A concomitant procedure 
is any therapeutic and diagnostic intervention (eg, surgery, biopsy) or diagnostic assessment 
(eg, bacterial cultures, imaging such as X-ray, computerized tomography [CT] scans) performed 
between the dates of the first dose of the study treatment and the end of the follow-up phase, 
inclusive.

5.2.1 Permitted Treatment
All concomitant treatment information must be recorded on the appropriate CRF page.
Additional treatment strategies may complement the use of the study treatments (eg, reducing or 
modifying the immunosuppressant drug use, or use of hemopoietic growth factors as needed for 
neutropenia).
Of note, changes in the net state of immunosuppression can influence response to treatment of 
CMV infection, therefore, whenever possible, investigators should maintain a stable regimen of 
immunosuppressant drugs during the study drug administration period, particularly through 
Study Visit 10/Week 8. Note that the sample for the assessment of immunosuppressant agent 
concentration is included in the schedule of assessments as maribavir was found to impact the 
metabolism of some immunosuppressive agents. Any changes in immunosuppression regimens 
due to the concomitant administration with maribavir or other reasons must be recorded in the 
CRF.
Maribavir is specifically intended to treat human CMV infections. Maribavir is not active in vitro 
against most non-CMV herpesvirus infections, including herpes simplex virus (HSV type 1 and 
type 2) and varicella zoster virus (VZV). At baseline, investigators will assess subjects to 
determine whether prophylaxis for these viruses is appropriate according to institutional 
guidelines or standard practices; the need for continued prophylaxis or initiation of prophylaxis 
will be assessed. If considered appropriate, permitted medications to use for this purpose include 
systemic acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir. Choice of medication, dose, and duration of 
such therapy is at the discretion of the investigator based on a given subject’s clinical condition 
(eg, net state of immunosuppression, risk factors, and other medications). These medications 
(acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir) also can be used to treat any HSV or VZV infection that 
may occur during the study. Antifungal and antibacterial medications will be allowed as deemed 
appropriate by the investigator for prophylaxis or treatment.
Although potent inhibitors of CYP 3A4 (such as ketoconazole) could increase blood levels of 
maribavir, they are likely to be associated with minimal increased risk given the safety profile of 
maribavir demonstrated at up to 1200 mg BID in Phase 2 studies.
The following concomitant medications should be taken with caution:
Maribavir has the potential to inhibit P-gp and therefore, may increase the concentration of drugs 
that are substrates of P-gp. For drugs with narrow therapeutic window, the increase in drug 
concentration may lead to toxicity. A drug interaction study showed that maribavir (400 mg 
BID) increased blood concentrations of tacrolimus (a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp) with Cmax
and AUC increased by 38% and 51%, respectively.

Therefore, monitoring tacrolimus blood concentration and tacrolimus-associated adverse events, 
and the appropriate dose adjustment of tacrolimus is recommended when maribavir and 
tacrolimus are used concomitantly. Conversely, after a period of coadministration, 
discontinuation of maribavir could lead to reduced blood levels of tacrolimus and potentially 
reduced therapeutic effect. Similarly, for drugs that are substrates of P-gp and have narrow 
therapeutic window, such as other immunosuppressants including cyclosporine, sirolimus, and 
everolimus, careful monitoring is recommended both after initiation of maribavir (when substrate 
levels may increase) and after discontinuation of maribavir (when substrate levels may decrease).
Maribavir is an inhibitor of BCRP based on in vitro data, therefore has the potential to increase 
the drug concentration of rosuvastatin which is a sensitive BCRP substrate. When initiating 
maribavir dosing in patients who are on a stable dose of rosuvastatin, patients should be closely 
monitored for the signs of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
5.2.2 Prohibited Treatment
Maribavir is contraindicated with valganciclovir/ganciclovir as it may antagonize ganciclovir’s 
antiviral effects due to maribavir’s inhibitory effect on HCMV UL97 encoded kinase which is 
required for activation/phosphorylation of ganciclovir.

15 Sep 2021
Besides the medications indicated in Table 4, concomitant use of any of the following medications is 
prohibited while the subject is receiving the study treatment (maribavir/placebo or 
valganciclovir/placebo).

Strong CYP 3A inducers: avasimibe, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, rifabutin, St. John’s 
wort (Hypericum perforatum)

Herbal medications known to have potential toxicities or drug interactions, eg, Ginkgo biloba or 
Piper methysticum (kava)
Except for ganciclovir/valganciclovir, maribavir does not antagonize the effects of other antiviral 
(anti-CMV) agents.
Potent inducers of CYP 3A4 and/or P-gp (such as rifampin, rifabutin, or phenobarbital) could reduce 
blood levels of maribavir, potentially reducing its antiviral activity. Use of alternate agents with less 
enzyme induction potential should be considered during administration of maribavir.
In vivo drug interaction studies with Valcyte have not been performed. Since valganciclovir is 
extensively and rapidly metabolized to ganciclovir; drug interactions associated with ganciclovir 
will be expected for valganciclovir (refer to the Valcyte Summary of Product Characteristics as 
documented in the Study Pharmacy Manual).
Administration of any of the prohibited treatments (except coadministration of foscarnet or 
cidofovir for indications other than CMV infection) will require discontinuation of study 
treatment.
5.2.3 Treatments Taken During the Follow-up Phase
All permitted (Section 5.2.1) and prohibited medications (Section 5.2.2) specified for the study 
treatment phase are applicable to the follow-up phase; however, in case of no viremia clearance, 
onset of tissue invasive CMV disease, a CMV recurrence, appropriate medications required for 
CMV treatment may be administered in the follow-up phase as deemed necessary by the 
investigator. The secondary prophylaxis for subjects with viral clearance is not recommended in 
the follow-up phase. All medications will be recorded on the CRF.

The test product is maribavir, which will be provided by the sponsor in 200 mg strength tablet 
form. Additional information is provided in the current maribavir investigator’s brochure.
The reference/comparator product is valganciclovir which will be provided by the sponsor in 
450 mg strength tablet form. Refer to the local approved product information for additional 
details.
Matching placebo will be provided for both maribavir and valganciclovir.
6.2 Administration of Investigational Product(s)
6.2.1 Interactive Response Technology for Investigational Product 
Management
An IRT will be employed in this study to manage the tracking and confirmation of shipment, 
supply, inventory, ordering, expiration, randomization, site-assignments, and dose modifications 
of the study treatment. The IRT provider will provide a user manual and training to each site, 
with detailed instruction on the use of the IRT and unblinding procedures when situation arises.
6.2.2 Allocation of Subjects to Treatment
This is a double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study. The actual treatment given to 
individual subjects is determined by a randomization schedule.
Subject numbers are assigned to all subjects as they consent to take part in the study. Within each 
site (numbered uniquely within a protocol), the subject number is assigned to subjects according 
to the sequence of presentation for study participation.
The randomization number represents a unique number corresponding to investigational product 
allocated to the subject, once eligibility has been determined.
All eligible subjects will first be stratified based on 2 factors:
1. By last prebaseline whole blood or plasma CMV DNA concentration categorized in 
to 3 CMV DNA concentration level groups based on local or central specialty 
laboratory qPCR results:

High viral load with CMV DNA ≥27300 IU/mL to ≤273000 IU/mL in whole 
blood or ≥9100 IU/mL to ≤91000 IU/mL in plasma


Low viral load with CMV DNA ≥2730 IU/mL to <27300 IU/mL in whole blood 
or ≥910 IU/mL to <9100 IU/mL in plasma

Very low viral load and high risk with CMV DNA≥1365 IU/mL to 
<2730 IU/mL in whole blood OR ≥455 IU/mL to <910 IU/mL in plasma and 
high-risk infection
2. By presence or absence of acute GVHD
Following stratification, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive either 
double-blind maribavir or valganciclovir for 8 weeks.
The actual treatment given to individual subjects is determined by a randomization schedule 
automatically assigned by the IRT. The randomization number represents a unique number 
corresponding to study treatment allocated to the subject, once eligibility has been determined. 
Once a randomization number/unique identifier has been assigned, that number must not be used 
again if, for example, a subject is withdrawn from the study. If a randomization number/unique 
identifier is allocated incorrectly, the clinical research associate (CRA)/study monitor must be 
notified as soon as the error is discovered.
Investigational product packaging identification numbers, separate from randomization 
numbers/unique identifiers, may also be assigned to subjects for specific treatment assignment as 
dictated by the study. In these cases, the same investigational product packing identification 
number may not be assigned to more than 1 subject.
6.2.3 Dosing
Initiation of study treatment, (ie, the first dose administration), will occur at Visit 2/Week 0 on 
Day 0 after completion of all required assessments for that visit. The first dose should be 
administered under supervision of investigator site personnel.
Depending on the time of the first maribavir/placebo or valganciclovir/placebo dose on 
Visit 2/Day 0, a second dose should be administered on Visit 2/Day 0 provided that doses can be 
separated by a minimum of 8 hours; otherwise, only 1 dose should be administered on 
Visit 2/Day 0. The second dose will then be administered (preferably) every 12 hours (q12h). 
When q12h dosing is not feasible, the doses should be separated by a minimum of 8 hours.
Maribavir 200 mg strength tablets will be utilized for the daily dosing. Subjects will take the 
maribavir 400 mg BID dose for the 8 weeks of the study treatment phase. There are no dose 
modifications for maribavir.

Daily dosage for valganciclovir (450 mg QD to 900 mg BID as adjusted for renal function, 
based on chemistry labs at screening) will utilize 450 mg strength tablets. Subjects will take 
valganciclovir for the 8 weeks of the study treatment phase. To protect the study blind, subjects 
will be required to take 2 tablets of their assigned study treatment and 2 tablets of the placebo 
q12h in a double-dummy format as shown in Table 5.

Valganciclovir tablets should be administered with food, and should not be broken or crushed 
(refer to the Valcyte Prescribing Information and Valcyte Summary of Product Characteristics as 
documented in the Study Pharmacy Manual). In order to maintain the blind, maribavir will also 
be administered with food and will not be broken or crushed for administration. Therefore, all 
subjects eligible for this study must be able to swallow tablets. Based on the evaluation of the 
effect of food on the PK of 200 mg tablet formulation of maribavir in Phase 1 Study 1263-104, 
only a modest effect on Cmax and no effect on AUC was observed; therefore, no clinically 
important food effect is expected with tablet formulation.
Subjects with estimated CrCl of ≥30 mL/min will be enrolled; adjustment of the valganciclovir 
dose for renal function will be allowed at entry and during the study, as deemed necessary by the 
investigator and consistent with the suggested doses in the valganciclovir label (shown in 
Table 6). The decision to modify the dose will be at investigator's discretion and it will be done 
in a manner, through IRT, so that the treatment assignment remains blinded. Placebo tablets will 
be assigned in a blinded manner to make up for adjusted dose and decrease in valganciclovir 
tablets.

a An estimated creatinine clearance in adults is calculated from serum creatinine by the following formulas:

For females, eCrCl [mL/min] = 0.85 × (male value)
Valganciclovir administration is not recommended below CrCl of 10 mL/min.
Patients on valganciclovir are at risk for bone marrow suppression and development of 
neutropenia. In the Phase 2 study (SHP620-203) of maribavir, measured degrees of neutropenia 
were 18% versus 5% (ANC<1000/mm3) and 5% versus 2% (ANC<500/mm3) through Week 12 
study for the valganciclovir and overall maribavir groups, respectively. Based on discussions 
with regulatory authorities, dose of valganciclovir has been chosen as 900 mg BID for 8 weeks 
of study treatment period duration, given ANC ≥1000/mm3 and CrCl ≥60 mL/min. Since 
neutropenia is an identified risk with valganciclovir intake, and specifically with the induction 
dose maintained through the treatment duration, subjects will be assessed for neutropenia 
development and valganciclovir dose may be adjusted based on ANC level. It is recommended 
that ANC level and creatinine clearance is verified and taken into consideration before the study 
drug is dispensed at each study visit. Therefore, complete blood count with differential count and 
serum creatinine analysis will be performed within 2 days of each visit by the local laboratory to 
confirm ANC level and creatinine clearance (see Section 7.2.3.4). Table 7 shows predefined 
criteria for valganciclovir dose adjustment based on ANC level and CMV DNA clearance which 
may be used, as deemed necessary by the investigator and in a manner that the treatment 
assignment remains blinded, to manage treatment of subjects who experience neutropenia.
Valganciclovir should not be administered if the ANC is <500/mm3 (per the product label), the 
platelet count is <25,000/μL, or the hemoglobin is <8 g/dL. Consistent with the product label and 
peer reviewed published literature; two different ANC levels have been selected to guide 
valganciclovir dose adjustment. Three studies identifying risk factors for neutropenia reported 
ANC level <1000/mm3 (Venton et al., 2014; Tomonari et al., 2008) or <1500/mm3
(Salzberger et al., 1997). Salzberger et al. (1997) concluded that ANC level of <1000/mm3 is 
predictive of both progression of neutropenia and mortality and postulated that ganciclovir 
should be discontinued when the ANC reached 1000/mm3 rather than at an ANC level of 
750/mm3 (the threshold ANC level specified in the study).

In addition, in this study, a clear trend was observed between the degree of neutropenia and the 
rate of bacterial infection; for the fungal infection the increased trend was only present when 
ANC was <200/μL. Other studies (Goodrich et al., 1993; Boeckh et al., 1996) reviewed in 
Salzberger et al. (1997) showed that neutropenia with an ANC of <750/μL occurs in 30% of 
ganciclovir recipients and has been associated with increased rates of bacterial sepsis and 
invasive fungal infection in marrow transplant recipients.
Subjects who do not achieve CMV viremia clearance may need to continue treatment to resolve 
viremia, even though ANC level is between 500-1000/mm3, at the discretion of the investigator 
and with the support of hematopoietic growth factors, if needed. However, considering the 
presence of neutropenia, the dose of valganciclovir may be adjusted to 450 mg BID. For subjects 
who achieve CMV viremia clearance and have ANC level between 500-1000/mm3, benefit/risk 
assessment for continued treatment may need to be considered by the investigator, and the option 
of either valganciclovir dose adjustment or dose interruption may be chosen. In each of the 
clinical scenarios hematopoietic growth factors may be used as deemed necessary by the 
investigator to prevent/manage neutropenia in addition to other strategies such as modification of 
other treatments that may be contributing to neutropenia development (eg, mycophenolate 
mofetil, Bactrim).

Drug kit dispensing for dose adjustments will be managed by the IRT system in order to 
maintain the blind. Subjects that require a dose adjustment for renal function or ANC level, 
regardless of study treatment, will be assigned a new study drug kit.
Various clinical scenarios of neutropenia, as shown in Table 7, will be programmed in the IRT 
and appropriate options will be selected by the investigator. Interruptions and discontinuation of 
study treatment will be conducted in a blinded manner; therefore, it is possible that treatment 
with either valganciclovir or maribavir will be interrupted or discontinued for neutropenia 
presence. The investigator may also select to interrupt study treatment, for other adverse events, 
regardless of the treatment assignment (maribavir or valganciclovir). The interruption for a 
maximum of 7 consecutive days will not result in permanent study treatment discontinuation. 
Up to 2 study treatment interruptions for a total of up to 7 days will be allowed. If study drug is 
interrupted for any reason and subsequently resumed, the end of the study drug administration 
period would remain fixed at a maximum of 8 weeks after the date of the start of treatment. 
A third study treatment interruption will lead to permanent study treatment discontinuation; the 
subjects will complete the end of treatment procedures described for Visit 10/Study Week 8 in 
the Schedule of Assessment 1 (Table 1), and will follow a modified schedule of assessments 
through the remaining weekly visits scheduled for the study treatment phase and the regular 
schedule of assessments through the 12-week follow-up phase as described in Section 4.5.

6.2.4 Blinding Procedures
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study. Qualified subjects 
will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive maribavir or valganciclovir using a 
centralized procedure. An IRT will be used to randomize subjects and provide the treatment 
assignment to the blinded pharmacist or a blinded designated study staff member.
To accomplish the blind, exact matching placebo tablets will be provided for both maribavir and 
valganciclovir, ie, each subject will receive maribavir and placebo (identical to valganciclovir) 
tablets if randomized to maribavir treatment, or valganciclovir and placebo (identical to 
maribavir) if randomized to valganciclovir treatment To protect the study blind, subjects will be 
required to take at a maximum, 2 tablets of their assigned study treatment and 2 tablets of the 
placebo q12h in a double-dummy format as shown in Table 5.
In order to protect the study blind during the study conduct, it is imperative that the investigator, 
subjects and their families, or any member of the study team, either at the study site or that of the 
Sponsor remain blinded to the subject treatment assignments until the data base lock (after the 
last subject has completed the study). The investigator and the sponsor will also be blinded to the 
PK data. Every effort will be made to maintain the blind except in those emergency situations 
when the identification of the investigational product is required for further treatment of the 
subject.
Unblinding the Treatment Assignment
There will be a provision for unblinding to ensure adequate treatment of the subject in the case of 
an emergency (details will be provided in the study manual). The Sponsor medical monitor 
should oversee this process. An unblinded medical monitor independent from the study will be 
identified by the sponsor for any situations that may need unblinding during the study.
In order to maintain the overall quality of the clinical conduct of the trial and integrity of the 
study data, the treatment assignment must not be broken during the study except in emergency 
situations where the identification of the investigational product is required for further treatment 
decisions for the subject. The investigators are encouraged to contact the designated blinded 
study medical monitor whenever possible to discuss the circumstances and the potential need for 
unblinding. If this is not possible, in the event of emergency unblinding, the investigator must 
notify the designated blinded study medical monitor and the sponsor, as soon as possible after 
breaking the blind, taking care not to reveal the subject's randomization code (see emergency 
contact information in Section 8.2.2).

The date and reason for unblinding will be recorded in subject's source documents. An unblinded 
medical monitor will be contacted if needed for any matters where treatment assignment will 
need to be revealed.
The investigators will be provided by the Sponsor with a clear procedure on how to access the 
central randomization system for code-breaking for each subject, disclosing the details of the 
allocated treatment (details provided in the study manual). The code will be broken only in case 
of emergency where the further treatment of the subject is dependent on the trial medication 
he/she received. In the event that the treatment assignment is broken, the date, the signature of 
the person who broke the code, and the reason for breaking the code are recorded on the IRT and 
the source documents. Any code break that occurs must be reported to the contract research 
organization (CRO)/sponsor.
Since the PK samples for only those subjects who are taking maribavir will be analyzed while 
the study is ongoing, the bioanalysis will be conducted by unblinded staff from the bioanalysis 
laboratory/CRO to allow for the identification of the PK samples from the subjects randomized 
to the maribavir treatment arm. If needed, an interim PK analysis of maribavir PK data obtained 
from the subjects may be performed by an independent unblinded team/CRO outside of the 
blinded study team, who will also receive the reports of the drug concentrations for the interim 
population PK analysis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The DMC may be unblinded as described in the DMC charter.
6.3 Labeling, Packaging, Storage, and Handling
6.3.1 Packaging and Labeling
Maribavir, valganciclovir, and matching placebos will be packaged and labeled such that the

and/or ‘CAUTION: New Drug – Limited by Federal (US) Law to Investigational Use’, and other 
information that may be required by the local laws.
Changes to sponsor-supplied packaging prior to dosing may not occur without full agreement in 
advance by the sponsor. Additional labels may not be added without the sponsor’s prior full 
agreement.
6.3.2 Storage
The investigator has overall responsibility for ensuring that investigational product is stored in a 
secure, limited-access location. Limited responsibility for storage may be delegated to the 
pharmacy or member of the study team, but this delegation must be documented. Investigational 
products are distributed by the pharmacy or nominated member of the study team. The 
pharmacist/nominated team member will enter the unique subject identifier on the investigational 
product bottle/carton labels as they are distributed.
Investigational products must be stored in accordance with labeled storage conditions which state 
“Do not store above 25°C. Do not freeze.” Temperature monitoring is required at the storage 
location to ensure that the investigational product is maintained within an established 
temperature range. The investigator is responsible for ensuring that the temperature is monitored 
throughout the duration of the study and that records are maintained; the temperature should be 
monitored continuously by using either an in-house system, a mechanical recording device such 
as a calibrated chart recorder, or by manual means, such that both minimum and maximum 
thermometric values over a specific time period can be recorded and retrieved as required. Such 
a device (ie, certified min/max thermometer) would require manual resetting upon each 
recording. The sponsor must be notified immediately upon discovery of any excursion from the 
established range. Temperature excursions will require site investigation as to cause and 
remediation. The sponsor will determine the ultimate impact of excursions on the investigational 
product and will provide supportive documentation as necessary. Under no circumstances should 
the product be dispensed to subjects until the impact has been determined and the product is 
deemed appropriate for use by the sponsor.
The sponsor should be notified immediately if there are any changes to the storage area of the 
investigational product that could affect the integrity of the product(s); (eg, fumigation of a 
storage room).

6.4 Drug Accountability
Investigators will be provided with sufficient amounts of the investigational products to carry out 
this protocol for the agreed number of subjects. The investigator or designee will acknowledge 
receipt of the investigational product, documenting shipment content and condition. Accurate 
records of all investigational product dispensed, used, returned, and/or destroyed must be 
maintained as detailed further in this section. An IRT will be used to manage subject 
randomization and the investigational product.
The investigator has overall responsibility for administering/dispensing investigational product. 
Where permissible, tasks may be delegated to a qualified designee (eg, a pharmacist) who is 
adequately trained in the protocol and who works under the direct supervision of the investigator. 
This delegation must be documented in the applicable study delegation of authority form.
The investigator or his/her designee (as documented by the investigator in the applicable study 
delegation of authority form) will dispense the investigational product only to subjects included 
in this study following the procedures set out in the study protocol. Each subject will be given 
only the investigational product carrying his/her treatment assignment. All 
administered/dispensed medication will be documented on the CRFs and/or other investigational 
product records and may include additional information as required per applicable regulations. 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the retrieval of all study supplies from subjects. 
Compliance will be collected in the subject's diary. The disposition of the unused supply of the 
dispensed investigational product will be documented in the accountability log.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, alternative study drug delivery to trial 
participants may be necessary to avoid unnecessary subject visits to sites while providing needed 
study drug. Additional study drug may be dispensed during a scheduled study visit or study drug 
may be shipped directly from investigational sites to participants’ residences by a contracted 
logistics provider or distributor (direct-to-patient [DTP] shipment) in compliance with national 
laws or temporary national emergency measures and Takeda processes. When utilizing DTP, the 
investigator remains responsible for ensuring the safety of subjects and the dispensation of the 
investigational product.
No investigational product stock or returned inventory from a Takeda-sponsored study may be 
removed from the site where originally shipped without prior knowledge and consent by the 
sponsor. If such transfer is authorized by the sponsor, all applicable local, state, and national 
laws must be adhered to for the transfer.
The sponsor or its representatives must be permitted access to review the supplies storage and 
distribution procedures and records provided the blind of the study is not compromised.

With the written agreement of the sponsor, at the end of the study, or as instructed by the 
sponsor, all unused investigational product stock, subject-returned investigational product, and 
empty/used investigational product packaging will be returned to a sponsor specified 
designation. Should local, state or national laws prohibit the return of unused stock, subject 
returned investigational product, or empty/used investigational product packaging to the sponsor 
designated locations, it may be destroyed at the site or local facility once the sponsor has 
reviewed and approved the site's standard operating procedure. In this case, Certificates of 
Destruction (CoD) identifying what was destroyed, when and how, must be obtained with copies 
provided to the sponsor. Destruction of investigational products must be in accordance with 
local, state, and national laws.
Based on entries in the site drug accountability forms, it must be possible to reconcile 
investigational products delivered with those used and returned. All investigational products 
must be accounted for and all discrepancies investigated and documented to the sponsor’s 
satisfaction.
6.5 Subject Compliance
For drug administration at the site, hospital staff or study personnel will administer all doses of 
study drug. Missed/incorrect doses will be recorded in the subject’s diary and CRF, as 
appropriate.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, study drug may be administered by a healthcare 
professional as part of home nursing or home healthcare. If a subject participates in home 
healthcare in the treatment phase, they will receive study drug through DTP and the site will 
follow-up with the subject. When utilizing DTP, the investigator remains responsible for 
ensuring the safety of subjects and the dispensation of the investigational product.
For drug administration as outpatients, a study diary for tracking adherence to study drug dosing 
and an adequate supply of study drug will be dispensed for home use. Subjects must be 
instructed to bring their unused study drug, empty/used study treatment packaging, and the study 
diary to every visit. Drug reconciliation must be assessed for all dispensed investigational 
product. Unused investigational product will not be redispensed. Instructions will be provided in 
the pharmacy manual.

No aftercare is planned for this study.
7.2 Study Evaluations and Procedures
All study evaluations and procedures are specified in Schedule of Assessment 1, Table 1, and 
Schedule of Assessment 2, Table 2.
7.2.1 Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics
Age and/or year of birth, sex, race, and ethnicity will be recorded for all subjects.
7.2.2 Efficacy
7.2.2.1 CMV DNA Quantitation
Blood samples will be assessed at a central specialty laboratory for the quantification of CMV 
DNA in plasma using the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test. Central specialty 
laboratory plasma CMV DNA results will be reported to the investigator site as available. 
Additional CMV DNA testing at local specialty laboratories may be performed and collected at 
more frequent intervals or using additional assay methods at the discretion of the investigator.
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance will be defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration below 
the lower limit of quantification (<LLOQ; ie, <137 IU/mL]), when assessed by COBAS®
AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test at a central specialty laboratory, in 2 consecutive 
postbaseline samples, separated by at least 5 days.
Confirmed Recurrence or the confirmed CMV viremia recurrence will be defined as plasma 
CMV DNA concentration ≥LLOQ when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan®
CMV Test in 2 consecutive plasma samples at least 5 days apart, after being unquantifiable 
(<LLOQ) for at least 5 days in 2 consecutive samples.
7.2.2.2 CMV Genotyping and Phenotyping
Subjects with known resistance to anti-CMV agents, as determined by the local specialty 
laboratory (testing will be done as directed by the investigator) at the site, will be excluded from 
the study. At Visit 2/Day 0 plasma samples will be obtained and tested by the central specialty 
laboratory to identify mutations in the viral UL97 and UL54 genes known to confer resistance to 
anti-CMV agents. In addition, UL27 gene will be tested. Given the urgency to treat subjects, it is 
not possible to wait for this central specialty laboratory assessment prior to a subject’s
randomization. Potential for mutation conferring resistance at baseline will be limited, given that 
for the current infection, any anti-CMV treatment will not be administered for longer than 
72 hours.

In instances when a mutation conferring resistance to anti-CMV agents will be reported in the 
baseline sample analyzed by the central specialty laboratory these subjects will be excluded from 
the Per Protocol Set for analysis.
 
 
 
 Rebound is 
defined as increase in viral DNA load without prior clearance of viremia. The entire UL97, 
UL54, and UL27 CMV genes will be sequenced in every sample that meets the criteria for 
genotyping, including the baseline samples.

7.2.2.5 Underlying Disease Assessment
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant offers potentially life-saving treatment for advanced 
malignancies and other diseases of hematologic, immunologic or metabolic origin. Underlying 
disease that led to HSCT, including relapse/progression, will be assessed at all visits throughout 
the study as indicated in Table 1 and Table 2. Dates of relapse or progression of the underlying 
disease/malignancy during the study will be documented. All available methods of detection, 
such as hematological, cytogenetic, molecular, cytological/histological, organs or sites involved 
etc., will be provided as appropriate for the underlying condition.
7.2.2.6 Graft-versus-host-disease Assessments
Graft-versus-host-disease is a well-recognized complication of transplantation, and all blood 
stem cell sources can lead to this complication. Graft-versus-host-disease occurs when the donor 
cells (the “graft”) recognize the patient being transplanted (the “host”) as being foreign, 
(ie, when donor T lymphocytes respond to mismatched protein antigens expressed in host 
T cells). It presents in an acute and chronic form.
The most influential protein mismatches are human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and the incidence 
of acute GVHD is directly related to the degree of mismatch between HLA proteins expressed by 
the HCT donor and recipient (Loiseau et al., 2007). Even in patients that receive HLA-matched 
(HLA-A/B/C/DRB1) grafts, however, GVHD arises in approximately 40% of patients due to 
differences in minor histocompatibility antigens, and requires systemic therapy. Acute GVHD 
that typically occurs in first 100 days after transplant includes: erythema, maculopapular rash, 
nausea, vomiting, anorexia, profuse diarrhea, ileus or cholestatic liver disease. A recent National 
Institute of Health classification also includes late-onset acute GVHD (after day 100) and an 
overlap syndrome with features of both acute and chronic GVHD (Cho et al., 2009).
Chronic GVHD typically occurs later (>100 days after transplant) and is manifested on skin, 
appendages, mouth, eyes, lungs, genitalia, esophagus and connective tissues.

Clinical Study Protocol: SHP620-302 Protocol Amendment 9
15 Sep 2021
Chronic GVHD diagnosis is supported by histologic evidence of GVHD from any affected site. 
The diagnosis might be difficult as negative histological findings do not exclude the existence of 
chronic GVHD, and similarity to other conditions that often occur in HSCT patients (such as 
mycophenolate mofetil [MMF] toxicity or the presence of GI tissue invasive CMV disease).
Investigators are expected to consider recommendations for diagnosis provided in guidance in 
Appendix 8 and Appendix 9 (Jagasia et al., 2015; Shulman et al., 2015). Detailed information on 
GVHD at screening, baseline or during the study will be collected in separate CRF forms.
Assessment of absence or presence of acute GVHD will be done at baseline, and if present, 
grading will be performed according to published guidelines provided in Appendix 7
(Harris et al., 2016); acute or chronic GVHD present at baseline will also be followed throughout 
the study treatment phase, at every study visit, utilizing the same diagnosis until resolution 
(during the duration of the study) as indicated in Table 1 and Table 2.
7.2.2.7 Comorbidity Status
Transplant patients often have multiple other comorbidities, resulting from their 
immunosuppressed status (co-infections, graft-versus-host-disease, transplant malfunctioning 
due to rejection), toxicities from therapies for maintenance of the transplant or reactivation of the 
baseline disease for which they had been transplanted (malignancy for example), and other 
concomitant diseases resulting in very diverse population that might be enrolled into the study. 
The comorbidity assessment will be conducted to allow for the comparison of the population 
enrolled into two treatment arms and to account for the subjects’ health status when assessing 
overall and individual subject response. Comorbidity assessment will be performed at time 
points indicated in Table 1 and Table 2. The difference between treatment arms in terms of 
baseline comorbidities might be controlled for in the analyses, if determined to be substantial.
Comorbidity assessment will utilize Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scale for subjects 
(Peus et al., 2013; Schag et al., 1984). Karnofsky Performance Status is a valuable tool for 
measurement of and comparison between the functional statuses of individual patients.). Refer to 
Appendix 5 for the KPS performance status scale forms.
7.2.2.8 Medical History
A medical history will be taken during the screening period and updated on 
Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0 as specified in Table 1. All medical history findings that have been 
present/active within the 2 years prior to enrollment at Visit 2/Day 0 will be recorded regardless 
of clinical relevance or presence at study start. Medical history finding that have not been 
present/active within the 2 years prior to enrollment will be recorded if deemed clinically 
relevant by the investigator to the conduct of the study.

Medical history related to the transplant (including the disease/diseases leading to transplant) and 
CMV infection will be recorded without a time limit. The medical history should include any 
history of allergic reactions to drugs. Refer to Section 5.1 for prior medication history.
Specific information regarding the subject’s transplant history that will be collected, including 
but not limited to, disease/condition that led to the transplant, the number of past transplants 
prior to the current transplant; the details of transplant, such as cell source and transplant type; 
the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching level; the date and the history of the current 
transplant including complications; transplant related infections; preparatory regimen for 
transplant; history of relevant viral serology; history of anti-viral prophylaxis; and status of the 
transplant at baseline.
Specific information regarding the subject’s CMV infection will be collected in separate CRFs. 
The collected information will include, but will not be limited to: CMV serology of donor and 
recipient and date of onset of the current CMV infection.
Subjects will be classified into 1 of the following categories with respect to hepatic function, 
based on baseline clinical and laboratory assessments (see Appendix 2). This information will 
primarily be utilized in the interpretation of the PK data for which the samples will be collected 
at the specified visits in the study:

No chronic liver disease

Chronic liver disease - Child-Pugh Class A

Chronic liver disease - Child-Pugh Class B

Chronic liver disease - Child-Pugh Class C
7.2.2.9 Subject Survival
Subject survival (yes/no) will be determined at all visits during the study. The date and cause of 
death will be recorded in the CRF.
7.2.3 Safety
7.2.3.1 Physical Examination (Including Weight)
Abnormalities identified at the screening visit (Visit 1) will be documented in the 
subject’s source documents and on the medical history CRF. Changes after the screening visit 
(Visit 1) will be captured as AEs on the AE CRF page, as deemed clinically relevant by the 
investigator.

The investigator or designee will perform physical examinations at time points specified in 
Table 1 and Table 2. Physical examinations will be performed in accordance with standard 
practices at the investigational site. Body weight and height will be measured at time points 
specified in the schedule of assessments.
7.2.3.2 Vital Signs
Vital signs (body temperature, arterial blood pressure, and pulse) will be collected in a standard 
manner at the time points specified in Table 1 and Table 2. Any changes from baseline 
(Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0) which are deemed clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator 
are to be recorded as an AE.
7.2.3.3 Electrocardiogram
A 12-lead ECG will be performed at Visit 2/Day 0, Visit 10/Week 8 (end of treatment visit), 
Visit 18/Week 20 (end of study visit), and at any additional time during the study, if clinically 
indicated. ECG data will include heart rate, RR duration, PR duration, QT duration, QRS 
duration. The corrected QT interval (QTc) will be calculated using the Fridericia’s formula. The 
investigator will be responsible for providing the interpretation for all ECGs in terms of clinical 
significance to the subject.
7.2.3.4 Clinical Laboratory Evaluations
Clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis, HBV, HCV, pregnancy) will be 
performed by a central laboratory at the time points, including baseline, specified in Table 1 and 
Table 2. During screening, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry parameters required 
for eligibility verification, pregnancy) must be performed and results verified within 3 days prior 
to randomization; either central or local laboratory results can be used for qualification. This also 
applies to CMV DNA quantification results. If no result of HIV testing within 3 months prior to 
screening is available, an HIV test will be performed at a local laboratory during the screening 
period for eligibility assessment. If local laboratory results are used for the assessment of 
eligibility, the reference ranges must be provided. Local laboratory results will be recorded in the 
CRF.
Historical results available within 3 months prior to study treatment initiation will be accepted 
for HBV and HCV at Visit 2/Week 0; however, a test will be performed if historical results are 
not available.
At baseline (Visit 2/Week 0) blood samples will be taken for CMV DNA quantification and 
genotyping, hematology and chemistry and tested in the central specialty laboratories. At 
assigned visits, blood samples and urine for clinical safety laboratory testing should be collected 
prior to the administration of study drug.

All clinical laboratory assays will be performed according to the central laboratory’s standard 
procedures. In addition, blood samples for complete blood count with differential and serum 
creatinine should be drawn and analyzed by the local laboratory within 2 days prior to study 
treatment dispensation so that results are available and reviewed prior to each study treatment 
dispensation during the treatment phase.
Reference ranges will be supplied by the central laboratory and will be used to assess the clinical 
laboratory data for clinical significance and out-of-range pathological changes. The investigator 
should assess out-of-range clinical laboratory values for clinical significance, indicating if the 
value(s) is/are not clinically significant or clinically significant. Clinically significant finding 
should be reported as an AE unless signs of already reported conditions exist. Abnormal clinical 
laboratory values that are unexpected or not explained by the subject’s clinical condition may, at 
the discretion of the investigator or sponsor, be repeated as soon as possible until confirmed, 
explained, or resolved.
The following clinical laboratory assessments will be performed:
Chemistry
Serum sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate/carbon dioxide, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, 
creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, uric acid, total protein, albumin, creatine 
phosphokinase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), 
alkaline phosphatase (ALP), cholesterol (total and HDL/LDL ratio), and triglycerides. The 
samples for chemistry are preferred to be taken under fasting conditions, although this is not 
mandatory. The information whether samples were taken under fasting conditions will be 
collected.
A local laboratory will be used to assess potassium and magnesium levels at Visit 2A 
(Day 4±1 day for subjects receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporine, everolimus, or sirolimus at 
baseline, and at 4±1 days after initiating any of these agents for subjects starting the 
immunosuppressive therapy after baseline and during the study treatment period).
Hematology
White blood cell (WBC) and differential counts (including ANC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, red 
blood cell (RBC) count, reticulocytes, platelet count.
Urinalysis
pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, hemoglobin, and microscopic evaluation (RBC, 
WBC, crystals, casts, bacteria), protein/creatinine ratio. Leukocyte esterase for the macroscopic 
evaluation.

RNA) at baseline only, if applicable. Historical results within 3 months of randomization are 
acceptable. If historical results are unavailable, blood will be drawn at Visit 2/Week 0 for 
hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody testing at the central lab. Central 
laboratory results do not need to be available prior to randomization.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test. Historical results within 3 months prior to the 
study treatment initiation will be acceptable for screening. If no result of HIV testing within 
the prior 3 months is available, the subject must have resting done locally during the 
screening period, and must have the results available prior to randomization.

Local Laboratory Test to Monitor Immunosuppressant Drug Concentration Levels
For subjects who are receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus, or everolimus, testing of the 
blood concentration levels of these drugs will be performed at each site’s local laboratory, using each 
site’s standard assay and standard therapeutic drug monitoring practice (eg, time of sample collection 
relative to dosing). The testing will be performed at the time points outlined below, provided the 
subject is still receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporine, or everolimus on these study days.
If the subject is receiving tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus or everolimus on 
Study Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0, obtain a tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus or everolimus blood level:

At Visit 2/Day 0/Week 0 prior to initiation of study treatment

Pregnancy Test 
A serum β-hCG pregnancy test will be performed on all females of child-bearing potential at the 
screening visit (Visit 1), baseline (Visit 2/Week 0), Visit 6/Week 4, and at the end of study 
treatment visit (Visit 10/Week 8), or if pregnancy is suspected, or on withdrawal of the subject 
from the study. Local laboratory test results can be used for the assessment of pregnancy on 
Day 0/Week 0.
7.2.3.5 Adverse Event Collection
At each study visit, subjects will be questioned in a general way to ascertain if AEs have 
occurred since the previous visit (eg, “Have you had any health problems since your last visit?”). 
All AEs are collected from the time informed consent is signed through 30 days after the last 
dose of study medication. All AEs deemed related to the investigational product and all SAEs are 
collected through the end of the study (Visit 18/Week 20 [Follow-up Week 12]).
7.2.4 Others 
7.2.4.1 Clinical Pharmacology Assessments 
Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained for all subjects as in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 1), but analyzed for only those subjects who are taking maribavir. Bioanalysis of 
PK samples will be conducted while the study is ongoing. The analysis will be conducted by 
unblinded staff from the bioanalysis laboratory/CRO to allow for the identification of the 
PK samples from the subjects randomized to the maribavir treatment arm.
For subjects ≥18 years of age (Table 8), 1 or 2 PK samples will be collected on each of the study 
days specified in Table 1. The premorning dose PK sample will be obtained at all 3 PK visits. 
The postmorning dose PK samples at Visit 3/Week 1 and at Visit 10/Week 8 will be obtained 
any time between 2 to 4 hours after the morning dose.

on a PK visit, no PK sample will be collected. If a subject has completed the premorning dose 
PK sample collection, but has missed the morning dose of blinded study treatment on the day of 
the PK visit, then no postdose PK sample will be collected.
Unscheduled PK Sample Collection
For purposes of special PK sampling, GIGVHD is defined as any of the following 
(Boeckh et al., 2003):

Biopsy-proven GVHD of the GI tract plus diarrhea (>300 mL/day)

Biopsy proven GVHD of the GI tract and nausea

Documented acute GVHD of the liver (stage II, total bilirubin >3 mg/dL or biopsy-proven) 
plus diarrhea (>500 mL/day) with no other explanation or

Biopsy-proven acute GVHD of the skin plus diarrhea (>500 mL/day) with no other 
explanation
If a subject is diagnosed with GI GVHD during the study treatment phase and therapy with study 
drug remained permissible, study drug will be continued and blood samples for the determination 
of study treatment in plasma concentrations will be collected. This unscheduled PK sampling 
will occur at the next visit after the first occurrence of a GI GVHD diagnosis, and will follow the 
schedule of sampling and recording of information as described in Table 1 (Schedule of

8. ADVERSE AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS ASSESSMENT
8.1 Definition of Adverse Events, Period of Observation, Recording of Adverse Events
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a 
pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this 
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
(investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product 
(ICH Guidance E2A 1995).
All AEs are collected from the time the informed consent is signed until the defined follow-up 
period stated in Section 7.1.3. This includes events occurring during the screening phase of 
the study, regardless of whether or not investigational product is administered. Where possible, 
a diagnosis rather than a list of symptoms should be recorded. If a diagnosis has not been made, 
then each symptom should be listed individually. All AEs should be captured on the 
appropriate AE pages in the CRF and in source documents. In addition to untoward AEs, 
unexpected benefits outside the investigational product indication should also be captured on the 
AE CRF.
All SAEs must be followed to closure (the subject’s health has returned to his/her baseline status 
or all variables have returned to normal), regardless of whether the subject is still participating in 
the study. Closure indicates that an outcome is reached, stabilization achieved (the investigator 
does not expect any further improvement or worsening of the event), or the event is otherwise 
explained. When appropriate, medical tests and examinations are performed so that resolution of 
event(s) can be documented.
8.1.1 Severity Categorization
The severity of AEs must be recorded during the course of the event including the start and stop 
dates. The highest level of severity will be recorded for an event. Worsening of pretreatment 
events, after initiation of investigational product, must be recorded as new AEs (for example, if a 
subject experiences mild intermittent dyspepsia prior to dosing of investigational product, but the 
dyspepsia becomes severe and more frequent after first dose of investigational product has been 
administered, a new AE of severe dyspepsia [with the appropriate date of onset] is recorded on 
the appropriate CRF).

Maribavir 
Clinical Study Protocol: SHP620-302 Protocol Amendment 9
15 Sep 2021
The medical assessment of severity is determined by using the following definitions:
Mild:
A type of AE that is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or 
therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with usual 
activities of daily living.
Moderate:
A type of AE that is usually alleviated with specific therapeutic intervention. The 
event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort but poses 
no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research subject.
Severe:
A type of AE that interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly affects 
clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention.
Besides the above mentioned standard categories of severity grading for a few selected events of 
special interest (see Section 8.1.4), the severity (intensity) of AEs will also be assessed according 
to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 
Version 4.0.
8.1.2 Relationship Categorization
A physician/investigator must make the assessment of relationship to investigational product for 
each AE. The investigator should decide whether, in his or her medical judgment, there is a 
reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the investigational product. If 
there is no valid reason for suggesting a relationship, then the AE should be classified as “not 
related.” Otherwise, if there is any valid reason, even if undetermined or untested, for suspecting 
a possible cause-and-effect relationship between the investigational product and the occurrence 
of the AE, then the AE should be considered “related.” The causality assessment must be 
documented in the source document.
The following additional guidance may be helpful:
Related:
The temporal relationship between the event and the administration of the 
investigational product is compelling and/or follows a known or suspected 
response pattern to that product, and the event cannot be explained by the 
subject’s medical condition, other therapies, or accident.
Not Related: The event can be readily explained by other factors such as the subject’s 
underlying medical condition, concomitant therapy, or accident and no plausible 
temporal or biologic relationship exists between the investigational product and 
the event.

8.1.3 Outcome Categorization
The outcome of AEs must be recorded during the course of the study on the CRF. Outcomes are 
as follows:

Fatal

Not recovered/Not Resolved

Recovered/Resolved

Recovered/Resolved With Sequelae 

Recovering/Resolving

Unknown
8.1.4 Adverse Events of Special Interest
In addition, the following adverse events of special interest will be closely monitored and 
reported throughout the study regardless of seriousness or of relationship to study treatment. 
Medical assessment of severity will be determined using standard grading category (mild, 
moderate, and severe), and by using other specific severity grading for each adverse event of 
special interest (AESI) as mentioned below:
Adverse Events of Special Interest (severity grading based on CTCAE Version 4.0)
1. Tissue invasive CMV disease. Any new development or onset of tissue invasive CMV 
disease in the asymptomatic subjects (at baseline) will be monitored throughout the study. 
At each visit the investigator will provide the evaluation of the tissue invasive CMV 
disease, which will be collected on the CRF. The investigator will have the final discretion 
in determining whether or not the CMV DNA test results and other clinical data represent a 
new tissue invasive CMV disease for a given subject. When these events are entered into 
the CRF, they should be recorded using the terminology shown in Appendix 4 (eg, ‘CMV 
pneumonitis’, ‘CMV colitis’, etc.). For details on how the disease under study will be 
reported see Section 8.1.5.
2. Relapse or progression of the underlying disease (disease for which transplant was 
performed).
3. Taste disturbance (dysgeusia): If a subject reports an AE of taste disturbance, the 
investigator will record the subject’s description of the taste disturbance (when available) 
as part of the event verbatim in the CRF.

4. Events of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea will be recorded. These adverse events are 
common for both maribavir and valganciclovir.
5. Adverse event of neutropenia will be recorded based on laboratory results (central or local) 
considered clinically significant by the investigator. In addition, to the adverse events of 
neutropenia reported by the investigator, incidence of neutropenia defined as 
ANC <500/mm3 [0.5 x 109/L] or ANC <1,000/mm3 [1.0 x 109/L]) based on central 
laboratory data will be analyzed.
Adverse Events of Special Interest (grading based on standard severity categorization to mild, 
moderate, and severe)
1. Immunosuppressant drug concentration level increased: Immunosuppressant drug levels 
will be monitored as specified Section 7.2.3.4. High to toxic levels will be recorded as AEs.
2. Invasive fungal (aspergillus, candida, Pneumocystis jiroveci, etc.) or bacterial infections 
(Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, enterococcus, pseudomonas, etc.). 
Baseline conditions will be captured as part of medical history, while new events will be 
captured as AEs. The additional information such as diagnostic method used for the 
pathogen and the source of the sample used for the diagnosis will be collected. 
Additionally, the presence of viral infections frequently occurring in transplant population 
will also be collected (see Appendix 10).
3. Graft-versus-host-disease: GVHD will be diagnosed based on the investigator’s judgment 
(see Section 7.2.2.5). Severity of Acute GVHD (Grading I-IV) will be assessed using 
grading scale provided in Appendix 7 (Harris et al., 2016) and for chronic GVHD using 
severity grading into mild, moderate and severe according to the scoring provided in 
Appendix 8, as in the consensus project by Jagasia et al. (2015). Harris et al. (2016)
provides the confidence levels of the diagnosis (refer to Table 2 in Harris et al., 2016). For 
the purpose of this study, the disease considered 'confirmed' or 'probable' should be 
reported as GVHD. Acute or chronic GVHD present at baseline will also be followed 
utilizing the same diagnosis and severity assessments at every study visit until resolution 
(during the duration of the study) or the end of the study. The baseline presence of the 
acute or chronic GVHD will be reported on the Transplant History page.
8.1.5 Disease Under Study
Subjects will be enrolled in study after fulfilling the criteria for CMV viremia (≥1365 IU/mL to 
≤273000 IU/mL in whole blood or ≥455 IU/mL to ≤91000 IU/mL in plasma) and their viral load 
will be monitored throughout the study. Viremia clearance, persistence, or recurrence will be 
analyzed as the part of efficacy assessment based on central laboratory result.

It is anticipated that some subjects, although asymptomatic at baseline, may have a new onset of 
tissue invasive CMV disease during the 8 week of study treatment or in the 12-week follow-up 
phase. Since new tissue invasive CMV disease constitutes a medically important event, 
independent of hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization required for this event, it will 
qualify to be reported as an SAE. Cytomegalovirus disease involving specific organ is to be 
reported, for example CMV disease involving liver will be reported as CMV hepatitis.
The investigator has the final discretion in determining whether or not CMV test results and 
other clinical data represent a new CMV event for a given subject.
If a CMV event crosses into different categories over time, the category of greatest severity 
should be recorded.
The terminology used for reporting should be:

Asymptomatic CMV infection

Tissue invasive CMV disease, specify organ for example CMV pneumonitis, CMV colitis
Table 11 presents the criteria for reporting tissue invasive CMV disease as an AE or as an SAE 
during its clinical course during the study.

8.1.6 Clinical Laboratory and Other Safety Evaluations
A change in the value of a clinical laboratory, vital sign, or ECG assessment can represent an AE 
if the change is clinically relevant or if, during treatment with the investigational product, a shift 
of a parameter is observed from a normal value to an abnormal value, or a further worsening of 
an already abnormal value. When evaluating such changes, the extent of deviation from the 
reference range, the duration until return to the reference range, either while continuing treatment 
or after the end of treatment with the investigational product, and the range of variation of the 
respective parameter within its reference range, must be taken into consideration.
If, at the end of the treatment phase, there are abnormal clinical laboratory, vital sign, or 
ECG values which were not present at the pretreatment value observed closest to the start of 
study treatment, further investigations should be performed until the values return to within the 
reference range or until a plausible explanation (eg, concomitant disease) is found for the 
abnormal values.
The investigator should decide, based on the above criteria and the clinical condition of a 
subject, whether a change in a clinical laboratory, vital sign, or ECG parameter is clinically 
significant and therefore represents an AE.
8.1.7 Pregnancy
All pregnancies are to be reported from the time informed consent is signed until the defined 
follow-up period stated in Section 7.1.3.
Any report of pregnancy for any female study participant must be reported within 24 hours to the 
Takeda Global Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Department using the Investigational 
and Marketed Products Pregnancy Report Form. The pregnant female study participant must be 
withdrawn from the study.
Every effort should be made to gather information regarding the pregnancy outcome and 
condition of the infant. It is the responsibility of the investigator to obtain this information within 
30 calendar days after the initial notification and approximately 30 calendar days and 1 year 
postpartum. An ethics committee (EC) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved informed 
consent form must be signed by a pregnant partner of a study participant prior to obtaining 
pregnancy outcome information from the nonstudy participant.
Pregnancy complications such as spontaneous abortion/miscarriage or congenital abnormality 
are considered SAEs and must be reported using the Clinical Study Serious Adverse Event and 
Nonserious AEs Required by the Protocol Form. Note: An elective abortion is not considered an 
SAE.

In addition to the above, if the investigator determines that the pregnancy meets serious criteria, 
it must be reported as an SAE using the Clinical Study Serious Adverse Event and Nonserious 
AEs Required by the Protocol Form as well as the Investigational and Marketed Products 
Pregnancy Report Form. The test date of the first positive serum/urine -hCG test or ultrasound 
result will determine the pregnancy onset date.
8.1.8 Abuse, Misuse, Overdose, and Medication Error
Abuse, misuse, overdose, or medication error (as defined below) must be reported to the sponsor 
according to the SAE reporting procedure whether or not they result in an AE/SAE as described 
in Section 8.2. Note: The 24-hour reporting requirement for SAEs does not apply to reports of 
abuse, misuse, overdose, or medication errors unless these result in an SAE.
The categories below are not mutually exclusive; the event can meet more than 1 category.

Abuse – Persistent or sporadic intentional intake of investigational product when used for a 
nonmedical purpose (eg, to alter one’s state of consciousness or get high) in a manner that 
may be detrimental to the individual and/or society

Misuse – Intentional use of investigational product other than as directed or indicated at any 
dose (Note: this includes a situation where the investigational product is not used as directed 
at the dose prescribed by the protocol)

Overdose – Intentional or unintentional intake of a dose of maribavir exceeding a 
prespecified total daily dose.
The highest dose of maribavir studied in Phase 2 treatment studies (SHP620-202 and 
SHP620-203) was 1200 mg BID. There was no significant difference in safety across all 
3 doses (400 mg BID, 800 mg BID, and 1200 mg BID) studied. Assuming a normal or only 
mildly impaired renal function and serum creatinine levels, a maximum dose of 900 mg 
valganciclovir should be administered at a time (refer to the Valcyte Prescribing Information 
and Valcyte Summary of Product Characteristics as documented in the Study Pharmacy 
Manual). Valganciclovir dose may be adjusted based on renal function and ANC level (see 
Section 6.2.3).

Medication Error – An error made in prescribing, dispensing, administration, and/or use of 
an investigational product. For studies, medication errors are reportable to the sponsor only 
as defined below.

Cases of subjects missing doses of the investigational product are not considered reportable as 
medication errors. Medication errors should be collected/reported for all products under 
investigation. The administration and/or use of the unassigned treatment is/are always reportable 
as a medication error. The administration and/or use of an expired investigational product should 
be considered as a reportable medication error.
All investigational product provided to pediatric subjects should be supervised by the 
parent(s)/legally authorized representative/caregiver.
8.2 Serious Adverse Event Procedures
8.2.1 Reference Safety Information
The reference for safety information for this study is the maribavir investigator's brochure, which 
the sponsor has provided under separate cover to all investigators.
The reference for safety information for the comparator/reference product, valganciclovir, in this 
study is the summary of product characteristics (SmPC), which the sponsor has provided under 
separate cover to all investigators.
8.2.2 Reporting Procedures
All initial and follow-up SAE reports must be reported by the investigator to the Takeda Global 
Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Department within 24 hours of the first awareness of 
the event (but with no information that would unblind the study treatment assignment). 
Note: The 24-hour reporting requirement for SAEs does not apply to reports of abuse, misuse, 
overdose, or medication errors (see Section 8.1.8) unless they result in an SAE.
The investigator must complete, sign, and date the Clinical Study Serious Adverse Event and 
Nonserious AEs Required by the Protocol Form and verify the accuracy of the information 
recorded on the form with the corresponding source documents (Note: Source documents are not
to be sent unless requested) and fax or e-mail the form to the Takeda Global Pharmacovigilance 
and Risk Management Department.
In the event of an SAE, the investigator must:
1. Fax or e-mail the clinical trial serious adverse event form within 24 hours to the 
Takeda Global Drug Safety Department. Applicable fax numbers and e-mail address

8.2.3 Serious Adverse Event Definition
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence (whether considered to be related to investigational 
product or not) that at any dose:

Results in death

Is life-threatening.
Note: The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which 
hypothetically might have caused death if it was more severe.

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.
Note: Hospitalizations, which are the result of elective or previously scheduled surgery for 
pre-existing conditions, which have not worsened after initiation of treatment, should not be 
classified as SAEs. For example, an admission for a previously scheduled ventral hernia 
repair would not be classified as an SAE; however, complication(s) resulting from a 
hospitalization for an elective or previously scheduled surgery that meet(s) serious criteria 
must be reported as SAE(s).

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

Is a congenital abnormality/birth defect

Is an important medical event.
Note: Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, 
they may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include allergic 
bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home; blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization; or the development of 
drug dependency or drug abuse.
For this protocol, the following events will not be collected as SAE(s):

Pre-existing conditions that have not worsened during study participation:

Preplanned (planned prior to the initiation of the study) hospitalizations

Preplanned treatments or surgeries

8.2.4 Serious Adverse Event Collection Time Frame
All SAEs (regardless of relationship to study) are collected from the time the subject signs the 
informed consent until the defined follow-up period stated in Section 7.1.3 and must be reported 
to the Takeda Global Drug Safety Department within 24 hours of the first awareness of the 
event.
In addition, any SAE(s) considered “related” to the investigational product and discovered by the 
investigator at any interval after the study has completed must be reported to the Takeda Global 
Drug Safety Department within 24 hours of the first awareness of the event.
8.2.5 Serious Adverse Event Onset and Resolution Dates
The onset date of the SAE is defined as the date the event meets serious criteria. The resolution 
date is the date the event no longer meets serious criteria, the date the symptoms resolve, or the 
date the event is considered chronic. In the case of hospitalizations, the hospital admission and 
discharge dates are considered the onset and resolution dates, respectively.
In addition, any signs or symptoms experienced by the subject after signing the informed consent 
form, or leading up to the onset date of the SAE, or following the resolution date of the SAE, 
must be recorded as an AE, if appropriate.
8.2.6 Fatal Outcome
Any SAE that results in the subject’s death (ie, the SAE was noted as the primary cause of death) 
must have fatal checked as an outcome with the date of death recorded as the resolution date. For 
all other events ongoing at the time of death that did not contribute to the subject’s death, the 
outcome should be considered not resolved, without a resolution date recorded.
For any SAE that results in the subject’s death or any ongoing events at the time of death, unless 
another investigational product action was previously taken (eg, drug interrupted, reduced, 
withdrawn), the action taken with the investigational product should be recorded as “dose not 
changed” or “not applicable” (if the subject never received investigational product). The 
investigational product action of “withdrawn” should not be selected solely as a result of the 
subject’s death.
8.2.7 Regulatory Agency, Institutional Review Board, Ethics Committee, 
and Site Reporting
The sponsor and/or the clinical CRO is responsible for notifying the relevant regulatory 
authorities US central IRBs/European Union (EU) central ECs of related, unexpected SAEs.

The study population is HSCT recipients with CMV infections. The following SAEs are 
common in this study population and are anticipated to occur, hence these SAEs (including fatal 
outcome) will not be considered unexpected and will not be individually reported to the 
regulatory agencies, IRBs, Ethics Committees, and investigators, provided there is no increased 
frequency of these events (Maribavir Phase 2 [Studies 1263-202 and 1263-203] data will be used 
as reference):

Any CMV infection, including CMV reactivation/recurrence, 
 

Any other viral, bacterial, or fungal infection

Acute and chronic GVHD

Reactivation/progression of the malignancy or other disease, which is an underlying disease, 
that led to the transplant
This includes fatal outcomes of the aforementioned SAEs.
However, these are AESI and will be closely monitored and recorded on the CRF. See 
Section 8.1.4 for more information on AESI.
In addition, if the event is serious (fulfilling seriousness criteria) it will be reported on SAE 
report form per Section 8.2.2. An independent DMC will be established per Section 9.5.
In addition, sponsor or the sponsor's delegate is responsible for notifying active sites of all 
related, unexpected SAEs occurring during all interventional studies across the maribavir 
program.
The investigator is responsible for notifying the local IRB, local EC, or the relevant local 
regulatory authority of all SAEs that occur at his or her site as required.

9. DATA MANAGEMENT AND STATISTICAL METHODS
9.1 Data Collection
The investigators’ authorized site personnel must enter the information required by the protocol 
on the CRF. A study monitor will visit each site in accordance with the monitoring plan and 
review the CRF data against the source data for completeness and accuracy. Discrepancies 
between source data and data entered on the CRF will be addressed by qualified site personnel. 
When a data discrepancy warrants correction, the correction will be made by authorized site 
personnel. Data collection procedures will be discussed with the site at the site initiation visit 
and/or at the investigator’s meeting. Once a subject is randomized, it is expected that site 
personnel will complete the CRF entry within approximately 3 business days of the subject’s 
visit.
9.2 Clinical Data Management
Data are to be entered into a clinical database as specified in the CRO’s data management plan. 
Quality control and data validation procedures are applied to ensure the validity and accuracy of 
the clinical database.
Data are to be reviewed and checked for omissions, errors, and values requiring further 
clarification using computerized and manual procedures. Data queries requiring clarification are 
to be communicated to the site for resolution. Only authorized personnel will make corrections to 
the clinical database, and all corrections are documented in an auditable manner.
9.3 Data Handling Considerations
Data that may potentially unblind the treatment assignment (ie, valganciclovir dose adjustment 
for CrCl/neutropenia, investigational product serum concentrations, CMV DNA plasma or blood
concentrations, treatment allocation, and investigational product preparation/accountability data) 
will be handled with special care during the data cleaning and review process. These data will be 
handled in such a way that, prior to unblinding, any data that may unblind study team personnel 
will be presented as blinded information or otherwise will not be made available. If applicable, 
unblinded data may be made available to quality assurance representatives for the purposes of 
conducting independent drug audits.
9.4 Statistical Analysis Process
The study will be analyzed by the sponsor or its agent. All statistical analyses will be performed 
using SASVersion 9.1 2 or higher (SAS Institute, Cary, NC 27513).

The statistical analysis plan (SAP) will provide the statistical methods and definitions for the 
analysis of the efficacy and safety data, as well as describe the approaches to be taken for 
summarizing other study information such as subject disposition, demographics and baseline 
characteristics, investigational product exposure, and prior and concomitant medications. The 
SAP will also include a description of how missing, unused and spurious data will be addressed 
and plan for subgroup analysis.
 
 
 The SAP will be finalized prior to 
unblinding to preserve the integrity of the statistical analysis and study conclusions. Maribavir 
PK concentrations will be analyzed by a population PK analysis approach. A separate SAP will 
be prepared for this analysis and a separate report will present the pharmacokinetic analysis 
results in addition to the primary clinical study report.
9.5 Data Monitoring Committee
An independent DMC will be established to act in an expert, advisory capacity for periodic 
assessment of the data to monitor participant safety and to ensure the validity and scientific merit 
of the study.
Further details regarding the DMC can be found in the DMC charter, which will be available 
prior to the administration of study treatment.
9.6 Sample Size Calculation and Power Considerations
The primary testing is to establish that maribavir is not inferior to valganciclovir in treatment of 
CMV infection in HSCT recipients. For ethical reasons it would not be possible to conduct a 
study of maribavir versus placebo since different treatment strategies are already used and well 
established in clinical practice to treat CMV infection. Valganciclovir has been selected as the 
active control because of its documented effectiveness for the treatment of CMV infection, 
including in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. While clinical trials of 
ganciclovir and valganciclovir versus placebo have been conducted for CMV prophylaxis, no 
placebo-controlled studies have been done to date for the treatment of CMV infection or disease. 
Therefore, the effect size of valganciclovir against placebo is not available, and treatment effect 
estimate had to be derived indirectly. Literature reports viremia clearance rate for valganciclovir 
at 70% to 100%. In the VICTOR study, a randomized controlled study to compare valganciclovir 
with ganciclovir for the treatment of CMV disease in SOT subjects (Asberg et al., 2007), the 
Week 7 viremia clearance rate was reported at 67% and the derived lower limit of the 95% CI 
was 60% for valganciclovir treatment group (n=164).

In Phase 2 treatment SHP620-203 study, 75% of HSCT subjects (n=61 across 3 dose groups) in 
the maribavir group and 48% in valganciclovir group (n=21) had confirmed CMV viremia 
clearance within 6 weeks. Based on these available data, the proportion of subjects who achieve 
viremia clearance after 8 weeks of treatment in the current study is assumed at 60% for the 
valganciclovir treatment group.
A 7% noninferiority (NI) margin is chosen for the current study based on the following 
considerations. First, a 7% of margin preserves at least 85% of the effect size assumed for the 
valganciclovir treatment group. Secondly, a 7% margin is less than half of 15%, a common 
NI margin used in antiviral trials and is considered very conservative. Two NI studies on 
comparing valganciclovir with ganciclovir in CMV treatment were identified after a thorough 
literature research. One study was reported by Chawla et al. (2012), and the other is VICTOR 
study (Asberg et al., 2007); both used a NI margin of 15%. Discussions with clinical experts 
confirmed that a 7% NI margin is considered a conservative choice and in clinical practice, a 
lower response rate might even be considered given the favorable safety profile of the test drug 
and where toxicities of available treatments such as valganciclovir limit their use.
Although based on the SHP620-203 study result 75% of HSCT subjects in the maribavir group 
and 48% in valganciclovir group had confirmed CMV viremia clearance within 6 weeks, it is 
expected that maribavir may be superior to valganciclovir in the treatment setting. Given the 
uncertainties regarding the differences in this study design from that of SHP620-203, literature 
reported treatment effect for valganciclovir, and practical consideration for enrollment of 
sufficient number of patients in this orphan patient population, the primary objective of this 
study is testing for noninferiority with testing for superiority to be conducted only after 
noninferiority is established.
For sample size calculation, to be conservative, it is assumed that 68% and 60% subjects will 
achieve confirmed CMV viremia clearance for the primary efficacy endpoint, in the maribavir 
and valganciclovir groups, respectively. Using the normal approximation method, a 2-sided 
95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in the proportions of subjects with the confirmed 
CMV viremia clearance will be calculated. If the lower limit of the CI is greater than -7%, the 
noninferiority will be assumed. The sample size is estimated based on a 2-group test of 
equivalence in proportions by using nQuery Advisor 7.0. Based on the above assumptions, 
494 eligible subjects (247 per treatment group) will result in a >90% power to declare 
noninferiority of maribavir to valganciclovir for the primary efficacy endpoint. Considering 
10% dropout subjects, not included in the Per Protocol (PP) Set, 550 subjects (275 subjects per 
treatment arm) will be enrolled and randomized.

Confirmed CMV viremia clearance at the end of Study Week 8/Study Visit 10 (study treatment 
phase) is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations <LLOQ (ie, <137 IU/mL), when assessed by 
COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test at a central specialty laboratory, in 
2 consecutive postbaseline samples separated by at least 5 days, at the end of Study Week 8, 
regardless of whether either study-assigned treatment was discontinued before the end of the 
stipulated 8 weeks of therapy. This is further described with examples in Table 12. For clearance of 
CMV viremia to be declared at the end of Study Week 8 during the treatment period, the subject 
must have received exclusively study-assigned treatments.

treatment if any).
"-" = CMV DNA concentration <LLOQ (<137 IU/mL)
"+" = CMV DNA concentration ≥LLOQ (ie, quantifiable)
Confirmed clearance of plasma CMV DNA (CMV viremia clearance) = 2 consecutive postbaseline assessments of CMV DNA target 
<LLOQ, separated by at least 5 days.
Statistical Methodology for Primary Efficacy Endpoint:
The proportion of subjects with confirmed CMV viremia clearance, at the end of Study Week 8 
and the corresponding 95% CIs will be calculated for each treatment group. The difference in 
proportion of subjects with confirmed CMV viremia clearance, at the end of Study Week 8, 
between treatment groups (maribavir and valganciclovir) will be obtained using 
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) weighted average across strata with baseline plasma CMV 
DNA concentration levels and presence or absence of acute GVHD as the stratification factors. 
The baseline plasma CMV DNA concentration will be the last central laboratory assessment 
before the first dose of study treatment.

The 2-sided 95% CI of the weighted average of difference across strata will be calculated using 
the normal approximation method. If the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than -7%, it will be 
concluded that maribavir is as efficacious as valganciclovir. The noninferiority analysis will be 
performed on the PP Set as the primary analysis and on the Modified Randomized Set as a 
secondary analysis.
Sensitivity and supportive analyses of the primary endpoint of confirmed CMV viremia 
clearance at Week 8 will be conducted to evaluate the robustness of the result from the primary 
method. This will be specified in the SAP. Some examples are given below:

The primary efficacy endpoint analysis will be repeated by using the CMV DNA level used 
for the randomization rather than the CMV DNA levels based on central laboratory values as 
one of the stratification factors.

Subjects who discontinue study treatment early, with no CMV DNA measurement for 
responder evaluation of study drug effect at Study Week 8 (see Table 12), however, they 
meet the criteria of confirmed CMV viremia clearance defined as 2 consecutive postbaseline 
assessments of CMV DNA target <LLOQ, separated by at least 5 days within Study Week 8, 
will be included as responders.

Multivariate regression analysis to evaluate treatment difference after controlling for 
important demographic and baseline clinical characteristics. The list of demographic and 
baseline clinical characteristics to be considered will include but will not be limited to 
CMV viral load, CMV serostatus, immune function status, presence of acute GVHD, high 
dose steroids use at baseline, prior use of CMV prophylaxis.

Subjects with missing data due to alternative anti-CMV treatment or death due to 
CMV infection by Study Week 8 will be considered treatment failure, hence non-responder. 
Subjects with missing data due to early discontinuation from study with reason other than 
alternative anti-CMV treatment or death due to CMV infection at Study Week 8 may have 
the response data imputed.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method described in Section 9.8.3, the superiority 
hypothesis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be tested by comparing the lower limit of the 
95% CI of the difference with 0 in the proportion of subjects with confirmed CMV viremia 
clearance at the end of Study Week 8 between maribavir and valganciclovir. The superiority 
testing will be performed on the Modified Randomized Set.

9.8.2 Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoint
The key secondary efficacy endpoint is defined as the maintenance of confirmed CMV viremia 
clearance achieved at the end of Study Week 8 through Week 16. Example criteria for defining 
responders at Study Week 16 are presented in Table 13.
For clearance of CMV viremia achieved at the end of Study Week 8, regardless of whether either 
study-assigned treatment was discontinued before the end of the stipulated 8 weeks of therapy, 
and maintenance of such effect through Week 16, the subject must have received exclusively a 
study-assigned treatment and must also have symptom control.

The difference in proportion between treatment groups (maribavir and valganciclovir) will be 
obtained using CMH weighted average across strata with baseline plasma CMV DNA 
concentration level (based on the last central laboratory assessment before the first dose of study 
treatment) and presence or absence of acute GVHD as the stratification factors. The 2-sided 
95% CI of the weighted average of difference across strata will be calculated using the normal 
approximation method. Sensitivity analyses for the key secondary endpoint will also be 
performed.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method described in Section 9.8.3, the noninferiority 
testing will be done by comparing the lower limit of the 95% CI with the same NI margin as the 
primary efficacy endpoint. If the lower limit of the 95% CI is greater than -7%, it will be 
concluded that maribavir is as efficacious as valganciclovir in maintaining treatment effect. The 
noninferiority analysis will be performed on the PP Set as the primary analysis and on the 
Modified Randomized Set as a secondary analysis.
Subject to the multiplicity adjustment method described in Section 9.8.3, the superiority in key 
secondary efficacy endpoint will be tested by comparing the lower limit of the 95% CI of the 
difference with 0 in the proportion of subjects who achieve response as defined for the key 
secondary efficacy endpoint between maribavir and valganciclovir. The superiority testing will 
be performed on the Modified Randomized Set.
9.8.3 Multiplicity Adjustment
The hypothesis testing of the primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints will be adjusted for 
multiple comparisons using a gatekeeping testing procedure to control the family-wise Type 1 
error rate at 2-sided α=5% level. The testing will be done in the order of primary efficacy 
endpoint NI testing (H11) first, the primary efficacy endpoint superiority testing (H12) and the 
key secondary efficacy endpoint NI testing (H21) second, and lastly the key secondary efficacy 
endpoint superiority testing (H22).

First, the NI testing of the primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed based on the 
2-sided 95% CI of the adjusted difference in proportion of subjects who have CMV 
viremia clearance at the end of Study Week 8 stratified by baseline CMV DNA level 
and presence/absence of acute GVHD at baseline. This analysis will be conducted 
using Per Protocol Set as the primary and Modified Randomized Set as secondary. If the 
lower limit of the 95% CI is above the predefined NI margin of -7%, NI is considered 
established.


If and only after the NI of the primary efficacy endpoint is established, the superiority 
hypothesis of the primary efficacy endpoint and the NI hypothesis of the key secondary 
endpoint will be tested in parallel. Hochberg procedure will be used to control family-wise 
Type 1 error rate at 2-sided α=5% level.

If and only if the superiority of the primary efficacy endpoint and NI of key secondary 
efficacy endpoint are established, the superiority hypothesis of the key secondary efficacy 
endpoint will be tested.
9.8.4 Subgroup Analyses
The proportion of responders and the corresponding 95% CI will be summarized for primary and 
key secondary endpoints by treatment group for the following subgroups (inclusive, but not 
limited to):

Cytomegalovirus DNA viral load (high, low, very low/high-risk)

Acute GVHD presence/absence at baseline

Adolescents ≥16 to <18 years of age (exploratory analysis: may be conducted if sample size 
is adequate)

Enrolling regions (enrolling centers will be grouped by geographic locations to explore 
homogeneity of treatment effect across regions).
9.8.5 Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
The other secondary endpoints of this study are:

The achievement of the confirmed CMV viremia clearance after 8 weeks of receiving 
study-assigned treatment.

The proportion of subjects achieving the confirmed CMV viremia clearance after 
receiving 8 weeks of study-assigned treatment, and the corresponding 95% CIs will 
be calculated for each treatment group separately. The difference in each respective 
proportion between treatment groups and the associated 95% CI will be calculated 
using the same approach as the primary efficacy endpoint, and will be assessed using 
CMH test with acute GVHD and baseline CMV DNA concentration as 2 stratification 
factors.

Statistical Methodology for Safety Endpoints
Safety evaluation will be made during the periods as illustrated in Figure 1, ie, Screening Phase, 
Treatment Phase, and Follow-up Phase.
Two observation periods are defined for the purpose of analyses:
1. The on-treatment observation period starts at the time of study treatment initiation 
through 7 days after the last dose of study treatment. For subjects who transfer from the 
study treatment to a nonstudy anti-CMV treatment, the on-treatment observation period 
starts at the time of the study treatment initiation through 7 days after the last dose of 
study treatment, or until the nonstudy anti-CMV treatment initiation, whichever is earlier. 
This will serve as the primary analysis of safety.
2. The overall-study observation period starts at the time of the start of the study 
treatment through the end of the study. 
An AE (classified by preferred term) that has a start date on or after the first dose of study 
treatment, or that has a start date before the date of first dose of study treatment but increases in 
severity after the first dose of study treatment, will be considered a treatment-emergent AE 
(TEAE).
The overall study AEs are those occurring during the overall-study observation period.
Safety endpoints will be summarized descriptively for the on-treatment period, and overall study 
period, as appropriate. Baseline assessments will be the last assessment before the first dose of 
study treatment. The Safety Set population will be used to analyze the safety data.
The safety endpoints for this study are as follows:

TEAEs and treatment-emergent SAEs, overall study AEs and overall study SAEs

Clinical laboratory evaluations (including incidence of neutropenia defined as ANC 
<500/mm3 [0.5 × 109/L] or ANC <1,000/mm3 [1.0 × 109/L] at any time during the study [on 
treatment and overall study period], time to neutropenia development), and study treatment 
dose adjustment due to AEs

Safety assessments will also include vital sign measurements, physical examination, and 
ECG.

The number of events, incidence, and percentage of TEAEs and overall-study AEs will be 
displayed for each treatment group by preferred terms using the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®). Summaries in terms of severity and relationship to study 
medication will also be provided.
Treatment-emergent SAEs will be summarized separately in a similar fashion. Summaries of 
AEs causing discontinuation of study medication, withdrawals, AEs leading to death, SAEs and 
AESIs will be provided.
Adverse events of special interest as defined in Section 8.1.4, will be analyzed according to 
primary system organ classes (SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs). Standardized MedDRA queries 
(SMQs) may be used, as applicable. Summary tables with SOCs and PTs will be generated 
presenting the number and percentage of subjects by AE, severity, seriousness, and relationship 
to study medication. Invasive bacterial and fungal infections, if any, will be noted.
Usage of concomitant medications will be summarized descriptively for each of the treatment 
groups for the on-treatment period and overall study period. Additionally, summary of 
hematopoietic growth factors, blood, and blood products transfusions will be provided.
Change from Baseline in vital signs and clinical laboratory test s will be summarized for each 
treatment group with descriptive statistics at each assessment visit. Additional shift tables may be 
produced for selected laboratory parameters using severity grades based on National Cancer 
Institute (NCI) common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE v4.0) or using 
normal/above normal/below normal range. Analyses of shifts in NCI CTC toxicity grades from 
baseline to maximum grade postbaseline for the on-treatment period and the overall-study period 
will be provided. Potentially clinically important findings will also be summarized.
Treatment-emergent grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (defined respectively as ANC <1,000/mm3
[1.0 × 109/L]) or ANC <500/mm3 [0.5 × 109/L]) will be summarized as shifts in laboratory
results from lower grade to maximum grade of either 3 or 4 postbaseline for the on-treatment 
period and the overall-study period. Time to neutropenia development will be evaluated.
Study treatment dose adjustment, specifically valganciclovir dose adjustment and interruptions 
for neutropenia or renal function impairment or other AE, and maribavir dose interruptions for 
any AE, will be summarized.
Abnormal physical examination findings will be listed.
Summary of ECG findings will be provided by treatment groups.

Blood samples will be analyzed for plasma maribavir concentration levels. Maribavir concentrations
will be summarized by visit and planned sampling time. A scatter plot of all reportable maribavir 
concentration vs actual sampling time will be generated. A listing of subjects with maribavir 
concentration below the quantitation limit will be provided along with the Week 8 efficacy response. 
In a separate analysis and report, maribavir concentrations will be analyzed by population PK 
analysis approach using nonlinear mixed effect model approach using NONMEM Version 7 or 
above. Post hoc maribavir PK parameters such as AUC, Cmax, and Cmin will be generated and 
summarized by identified covariates; 
 
 This 
analysis maybe conducted by combining maribavir PK data from other Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies.
If needed, an interim population PK analysis of maribavir PK data obtained from the study 
subjects will be performed. Interim population PK analysis will be performed by an independent 
unblinded team or CRO who will have no involvement in the conduct of the study. Results from 
this analysis will not be shared with any members of the study team until after database lock.

The confidentiality of records that may be able to identify subjects will be protected in 
accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
After subjects have consented to take part in the study, the sponsor and/or its representatives 
reviews their medical records and data collected during the study. These records and data may, in 
addition, be reviewed by others including the following: independent auditors who validate the 
data on behalf of the sponsor; third parties with whom the sponsor may develop, register, or 
market maribavir; national or local regulatory authorities; and the IRB(s)/EC(s) which gave 
approval for the study to proceed. The sponsor and/or its representatives accessing the records 
and data will take all reasonable precautions in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and 
guidelines to maintain the confidentiality of subjects’ identities.
Subjects are assigned a unique number for identification.
The results of studies containing subjects’ unique identifying number and relevant medical 
records will be recorded. They may be transferred to, and used in, other countries which may not 
afford the same level of protection that applies within the countries where this study is 
conducted. The purpose of any such transfer would include: to support regulatory submissions, 
to conduct new data analyses to publish or present the study results, or to answer questions asked 
by regulatory or health authorities.
10.5 Study Results/Publication Policy
Takeda will endeavor to publish the results of all qualifying, applicable, and covered studies 
according to external guidelines in a timely manner regardless of whether the outcomes are 
perceived as positive, neutral, or negative.
Additionally, Takeda adheres to external guidelines (eg, Good Publication Practices 2) when 
forming a publication steering committee, which may be done for large, multicenter 
Phase 2-4 and certain other studies as determined by Takeda. The purpose of the publication 
steering committee is to act as a noncommercial body that advises or decides on dissemination of 
scientific study data in accordance with the scope of this policy.

The sponsor and/or its representatives accessing the records and data will take all reasonable 
precautions in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines to maintain the 
confidentiality of subjects’ identities.
All publications relating to Takeda products or projects must undergo appropriate technical and 
intellectual property review, with Takeda agreement to publish prior to release of information. 
The review is aimed at protecting the sponsor’s proprietary information existing either at the 
commencement of the study or generated during the study. To the extent permitted by the 
publisher and copyright law, the principal investigator will own (or share with other authors) the 
copyright on his/her publications. To the extent that the principal investigator has such sole, joint 
or shared rights, the principal investigator grants the sponsor a perpetual, irrevocable, 
royalty-free license to make and distribute copies of such publications.
The term “publication” refers to any public disclosure including original research articles, review 
articles, oral presentations, abstracts and posters at medical congresses, journal supplements, 
letters to the editor, invited lectures, opinion pieces, book chapters, electronic postings on 
medical/scientific websites, or other disclosure of the study results, in printed, electronic, oral or 
other form.
Subject to the terms of the paragraph below, the investigator shall have the right to publish the 
study results, and any background information provided by the sponsor that is necessary to 
include in any publication of study results, or necessary for other scholars to verify such study 
results. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no publication that incorporates the sponsor’s 
confidential information shall be submitted for publication without the sponsor’s prior written 
agreement to publish and shall be given to the sponsor for review at least 60 days prior to 
submission for publication. If requested in writing by Takeda, the institution and principal 
investigator shall withhold submission of such publication for up to an additional 60 days to 
allow for filing of a patent application.
If the study is part of a multicenter study, the first publication of the study results shall be made 
by the sponsor in conjunction with the sponsor’s presentation of a joint, multicenter publication 
of the compiled and analyzed study results. If such a multicenter publication is not submitted to a 
journal for publication by the sponsor within an 18-month period after conclusion, abandonment, 
or termination of the study at all sites, or after the sponsor confirms there shall be no multicenter 
study publication of the study results, an investigator may individually publish the study results 
from the specific site in accordance with this section. The investigator must, however, 
acknowledge in the publication the limitations of the single-site data being presented.

Revised storage conditions:

The investigator has overall responsibility for ensuring that 
investigational product is stored in a secure, limited-access 
location. Maribavir and corresponding placebo tablets will be 
stored at room temperature (15°C 30°C 86°F). Valganciclovir 
tablets do not require any special storage conditions and should 
be stored in a similar condition as maribavir tablets to maintain 
the blind. Limited responsibility for storage may be delegated to 
the pharmacy or member of the study team, but this delegation 
must be documented. Investigational products are distributed by 
the pharmacy or nominated member of the study team. The 
pharmacist/nominated team member will enter the unique 
subject identifier on the investigational product bottle/carton 
labels as they are distributed.


Asymptomatic subjects to “Transplant recipients with 
refractory CMV infections, including CMV infections with 
confirmed resistance to 1 of the anti-CMV agents (ganciclovir, 
valganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir), who do not have tissue 
invasive CMV disease as diagnosed by the investigator at 
baseline. HSCT recipients who do not have tissue-invasive 
CMV disease as determined by the investigator according to the 
criteria specified by Ljungman et al. 2016.”
Added rationale for dosing of adolescents:
Currently available maribavir pharmacokinetics, PK modeling and 
extrapolation of systemic exposure from adults, and safety and 
tolerability data in adults support the administration of the 400 mg BID 
dose in adolescents who weigh ≥35 kg and are able to swallow tablets. 
Per Lu and Rosenbaum (2014), the expression of CYP3A4 and CYP 
2C19, which are primary enzymes for maribavir metabolism in the liver, 
occurs during the first weeks of life. The expression of CYP1A2, which is 
also involved with maribavir metabolism, the last enzyme to develop, is 
present by 1 to 3 months of life. By 1 to 2 years of age, all the isoenzyme 
activities are similar to those of adults. Therefore, the bioavailability and 
systemic exposure of maribavir in adolescent subjects (≥16 and <18 years 
of age) is not expected to be different from adults at the same oral dose.
Section 2.3
Moved CMV central nervous system (CNS) infection as a reason for 
discontinuation and/or withdrawal from Section 5.2.2 (Prohibited 
Treatment) to Section 4.5.1 (Reasons for Discontinuation and/or 
Withdrawal).
Section 4.5.1
Changed pharmacokinetic sample collection for adolescent subjects from 
≥12 to <18 years of age to ≥16 to <18 years of age
Section 7.1.2
Moved description of summary statistical methods from “Exploratory 
Efficacy Endpoints” to “Efficacy Analyses”:
Summary descriptive statistics will include the number of subjects (N), 
mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum (range) 
values for continuous variables, and incidences and percentages for 
categorical variables. The denominator for the percentages will be based 
on the number of patients with nonmissing information in the randomized
analysis set unless otherwise specified. Time-to-event endpoints will be 
summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimation. Ninety-five percent (95%) 
confidence intervals for the estimated 25%, 50%, and 75% times will be 
presented.
Section 9.8, Section 9.8.6
Added another example of a sensitivity analysis of the primary endpoint 
of confirmed CMV viremia clearance at Week 8:

The primary efficacy endpoint analysis will be repeated by using 
the CMV DNA level used for the randomization rather than the 
CMV DNA levels based on central laboratory values as one of 
the stratification factors.

APPENDIX 3 CMV GENETIC MUTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE TO 
ANTI CMV DRUGS
Specific mutations in the UL97 and/or UL54 human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genes are 
associated with resistance to certain anti-CMV drugs (ganciclovir/valganciclovir, foscarnet, or 
cidofovir). The UL97 gene encodes a viral protein kinase, while the UL54 gene encodes a viral DNA 
polymerase.
Ganciclovir (administered intravenously, orally, or through its oral prodrug valganciclovir) is a 
guanosine analog that acts as a chain terminator once incorporated into the elongating viral DNA 
chain. In order for the drug to be incorporated into the viral DNA chain, ganciclovir first needs to be 
monophosphorylated by the UL97 HCMV protein kinase. Cellular kinases then di- and 
tri-phosphorylate the drug into a form that can be incorporated into the viral DNA chain. Mutations 
in the UL97 gene that inactivate the UL97 kinase prevent the monophosphorylation step and result in 
resistance to ganciclovir/valganciclovir. Foscarnet is a pyrophosphate analog that blocks the release 
of pyrophosphate by the UL54 viral polymerase. Cidofovir is a cytosine monophosphate analog that 
is dependent on diphosphorylation by cellular kinases for its inhibition of viral DNA synthesis.
The tables below list the mutations in UL97 that are proven to confer resistance to 
ganciclovir/valganciclovir and the mutations in UL54 that confer resistance to one or multiple anti-
CMV agents, mostly based on the phenotyping, except in the case of deletions, that do not need to be 
confirmed due to the location of the deleted residues.
Since foscarnet and cidofovir do not require phosphorylation by the viral UL97 kinase for their 
activity, they are unaffected by mutations in the UL97 gene. Mutations in the UL54 gene that 
inactivate the viral DNA polymerase prevent incorporation of ganciclovir/valganciclovir and/or 
cidofovir into the elongating viral DNA chain, leading to resistance to the drug(s). Similarly, 
mutations in the UL54 gene can lead to foscarnet resistance.
The tables below are the reference for the investigators while the full list of reportable mutations 
should they be found in the clinical study analyses will be provided in the resistance analysis plan.
The following mutations have been determined to confer resistance to ganciclovir/valganciclovir or 
cross-resistance to foscarnet, cidofovir or maribavir (Campanini et al., 2012; 
Cherrier et al., 2018; Chou, 2020; Chou and Bowlin, 2011; Fischer et al., 2016; 
Gilbert et al., 2011; Harada et al., 1997; Van Leer Buter et al., 2019; Viracor, n.d.; 
Wong et al., 2019). The PRS and MRS populations will be defined by the presence of one or more of 
these mutations at study baseline genotypic results performed by the central specialty laboratory.

APPENDIX 4 DEFINITIONS OF TISSUE INVASIVE CMV DISEASE
The following definitions of CMV disease are based on a commonly cited reference that was 
intended for application to transplant recipients (Ljungman et al., 2017; please refer to the 
citation for full details on the definitions of CMV disease). Definitions often require clinical 
judgment regarding compatible symptoms or other factors. The investigator should utilize his/her 
best clinical judgment for this categorization, and apply these definitions whenever possible for 
consistency. When reporting CMV disease, the presence of any co-pathogens that may be 
contributing to the organ disease must be reported as well.
Pneumonia: “CMV pneumonia” is defined by the presence of signs and/or symptoms of 
pulmonary disease combined with the detection of CMV in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or lung 
tissue samples. Detection of CMV should be performed by virus isolation, histopathologic 
testing, immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization. Detection of CMV by 
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) alone may be too sensitive for the diagnosis of CMV 
pneumonia and is therefore insufficient for this purpose. The presence of fungal copathogens, 
such as Aspergillus species, together with radiologic signs typical of Aspergillus pneumonia (eg, 
a halo sign or a crescent sign) indicates fungal pneumonia rather than CMV pneumonia. CMV 
documented by culture from BAL might be used as the evidence in the absence of other 
preferred assays.
Gastrointestinal disease: “CMV gastrointestinal disease” is defined by the identification of a 
combination of clinical symptoms from the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract, findings of 
macroscopic mucosal lesions on endoscopy, and demonstration of CMV infection (by culture, 
histopathologic testing, immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization) in a 
gastrointestinal tract biopsy specimen. Detection of CMV by PCR alone is insufficient for the 
diagnosis of CMV gastrointestinal disease. Patients with CMV disease that involves the 
intestinal tract usually have mucosal abnormalities that can be seen by the endoscopist, but the 
appearance of some of these lesions is subtle. The spectrum of endoscopic lesions is variable and 
ranges from patchy erythema, exudates, and microerosions to diffusely edematous mucosa, to 
multiple mucosal erosions, to deep ulcers and pseudotumors. The diagnostic yield for CMV is 
higher when mucosal abnormalities are targeted for study. If CMV is detected in normal mucosa 
near a lesion consistent with those typical of CMV infection, this can be accepted as CMV 
gastrointestinal disease.
Cytomegalovirus documented in blood by PCR or antigenemia or CMV documented by PCR 
from tissue biopsies might be used in the absence of other preferred methods of diagnosis.

Hepatitis: “CMV hepatitis” is defined by the findings of elevated bilirubin and/or enzyme levels 
during liver function testing, absence of any other documented cause of hepatitis, and detection 
of CMV infection (by culture, histopathologic testing, immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ 
hybridization) in a liver biopsy specimen. Detection of CMV by PCR alone is insufficient for the 
diagnosis of CMV hepatitis because it can imply the presence of transient viremia. 
Documentation of CMV (ie, by immunohistochemical analysis) within the liver tissue is needed. 
Other pathogens, such as hepatitis C virus, may be present without excluding the diagnosis of 
CMV hepatitis.
Central Nervous System disease: Cytomegalovirus “CNS disease” is defined by the 
identification of CNS symptoms together with the detection of CMV in cerebrospinal fluid 
samples, by culture or PCR, or in brain biopsy specimens, by culture, histopathologic testing, 
immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization.
Retinitis: The diagnosis of disease requires typical ophthalmological signs judged by an 
ophthalmologist experienced with the diagnosis of CMV retinitis. If the presentation is atypical 
or an experienced ophthalmologist is not available, it is recommended that the diagnosis is 
supported by CMV documented in vitreous fluid by PCR. The images or retina taken during 
ophthalmological exam should be provided.
Nephritis: Cytomegalovirus nephritis can be defined by the detection of CMV infection (by 
culture, immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization) together with the identification 
of histologic features of CMV infection in a kidney biopsy specimen obtained from a patient 
with renal dysfunction.
Cystitis: Cystitis is defined by the detection of CMV infection (by culture, 
immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization) together with the identification of 
conventional histologic features of CMV infection in a bladder biopsy specimen obtained from a 
patient with cystitis.
Myocarditis: Myocarditis is defined by the detection of CMV infection (by culture, 
immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization) together with the identification of 
conventional histologic features of CMV infection in a heart biopsy specimen obtained from a 
patient with myocarditis.
Pancreatitis: The definition of CMV pancreatitis requires the detection of CMV infection (by 
culture, immunohistochemical analysis, or in situ hybridization) together with the identification 
of conventional histologic features of CMV infection in a pancreatic biopsy specimen obtained 
from a patient with pancreatitis.

Other CMV disease categories: Cytomegalovirus can also cause disease in other organs, and 
the definitions of these additional disease categories include the presence of compatible 
symptoms and signs, and documentation of CMV by biopsy (detection of CMV by PCR alone is 
insufficient), with other relevant causes excluded.

APPENDIX 5 KARNOFSKY PERFORMANCE STATUS SCALE
The Karnofsky Performance Scale Index (Table A4) allows patients to be classified as to their 
functional impairment. This can be used to compare effectiveness of different therapies and to 
assess the prognosis in individual patients. The lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival 
for most serious illnesses.

Overall clinical grade (based on most severe target organ involvement):
Grade 0: No stage 1-4 of any organ.
Grade I: Stage 1-2 skin without liver, upper GI, or lower GI involvement.
Grade II: Stage 3 rash and/or stage 1 liver and/or stage 1 upper GI and/or stage 1 lower GI.
Grade III: Stage 2-3 liver and/or stage 2-3 lower GI, with stage 0-3 skin and/or stage 0-1 upper GI.
Grade IV: Stage 4 skin, liver, or lower GI involvement, with stage 0-1 upper GI.
Source: Table 1, Harris et al., 2016
The differences in GVHD diagnosis make it challenging to conduct multicenter trials because of 
the difﬁculty determining whether a patient truly experienced GVHD. To address these varying 
practices, Harris et al. (2016) developed a structure for collecting granular GVHD data and 
assigning conﬁdence levels for the attribution of symptoms to GVHD based on the treatment 
decisions made by the clinician.

†
Skin scoring should use both percentage of BSA involved by disease signs and the cutaneous features scales. When a 
discrepancy exists between the percentage of total body surface (BSA) score and the skin feature score, OR if 
superficial sclerotic features are present (Score 2), but there is impaired mobility or ulceration (Score 3), the higher 
level should be used for the final skin scoring.
‡
To be completed by specialist or trained medical providers (see Supplementary Figure: Figure A-2).
**
Lung scoring should be performed using both the symptoms and FEV1 scores whenever possible. FEV1 should be used 
in the final lung scoring where there is discrepancy between symptoms and FEV1 scores.

Report (Table 2 in the supplemental material for Jagasia et al. [2015])
Table A8
NIH Global Severity of Chronic GVHD
Mild chronic GVHD
1 or 2 organs involved with no more than score 1 plus
Lung score 0
Moderate chronic GVHD
3 or more organs involved with no more than score 1
OR
At least 1 organ (not lung) with a score of 2
OR
Lung score 1
Severe chronic GVHD
At least 1 organ with a score of 3
OR
Lung score of 2 or 3
Key points:
In skin: higher of the 2 scores to be used for calculating global severity.
In lung: FEV1 is used instead of clinical score for calculating global severity.
If the entire abnormality in an organ is noted to be unequivocally explained by a non-GVHD 
documented cause, that organ is not included for calculation of the global severity.
If the abnormality in an organ is attributed to multifactorial causes (GVHD plus other 
causes) the scored organ will be used for calculation of the global severity regardless of the 
contributing causes (no downgrading of organ severity score).

Development Project on Criteria for Clinical Trials in Chronic Graft-versus-Host 
Disease: II. The 2014 Pathology Working Group Report (Table 1 in 
Shulman et al., 2015). Chronic GVHD is supported by histologic evidence of GVHD 
from any affected site. Investigators are expected to consider recommendations for 
chronic GVHD diagnosis including not only clinical but histological evidence.

a Conditions that result in lesser degrees of change include immunosuppressive treatment, biopsy very soon after 
onset of signs, suboptimal or small tissue sample, insufficient serial sectioning, confounding infection, drug 
reaction, or inflammatory conditions.
b After the diagnosis of chronic GVHD has been established or following immunosuppressive treatment, the 
histological manifestations of active disease may meet only minimal diagnostic criteria for activity. Different 
manifestations of cutaneous chronic GVHD may all be present together in 1 biopsy or in separate but concurrent 
biopsies.
c Inflammation of the oral mucosa and within the minor salivary glands may persist from prior chemo-irradiation or 
prior inflammation. The distinction between acute and chronic GVHD requires the addition of distinctive oral 
manifestations.
d The distinction of past acinar destruction and fibrosis from ongoing chronic GVHD activity can be difficult and 
relies on assessing lobules that are not completely fibrotic. Acinar and periductal inflammation with features of 
damage to ducts, such as vacuolar change, lymphocytic exocytosis nuclear dropout, dyspolarity or apoptosis, and 
resultant fibroplasia indicate chronic GVHD activity.
e Constrictive bronchiolitis obliterans should be distinguished from cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, which is 
also associated with GVHD but has a different clinicopathologic presentation and a more favorable outcome.

APPENDIX 10 BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS ASSESSMENT
In Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) population post-transplant infection remains a 
significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly after allogeneic transplantation. While 
the expected period of profound neutropenia after HSCT usually occurs during the pre-
engraftment stage, normal neutrophil recovery is not always possible as neutrophil count is 
adversely affected by other risk factors and comorbidities, such as graft failure or rejection, 
GVHD, relapse of the underlying neoplasm, drug-induced myelosuppression and concomitant 
infections (Klumpp, 1993).
Due to the gradual immune system reconstitution HSCT recipients are vulnerable to various 
opportunistic viral, bacterial or fungal pathogens at different stages after the transplant 
(Tomblyn et al., 2009). Opportunistic infection is defined as any infection that occurs with 
increased frequency or severity in HSCT population (Dykewicz, 2001).

Infectious complications are most frequent in the pre-engraftment period due to cytopenias and 
immune ablation and immune suppression but may continue for months or years in HSCT 
recipients with delayed immune reconstitution (Majhail et al., 2012). During the early 
post-transplant period HSCT recipients are susceptible to bacteremia and fungal infections with 
Candida and Aspergillus species, along with herpes simplex virus (HSV) reactivation. Candida 
often causes superficial skin infection (thrush), with rare occasions of invasive disease 
manifested as esophagitis, endocarditis or hepatosplenic disease.
During the early postengraftment phase infections relate primarily to impaired cell-mediated 
immunity, which is influenced by a history of GVHD and the requirement for ongoing 
immunosuppression. The predominant organisms in this phase are herpesviruses, along with 
Pneumocystis jiroveci and Aspergillus species. In the late postengraftment period common 
pathogens include CMV, VZV and infections with encapsulated bacteria, such as Streptococcus 
pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae (Tomblyn et al., 2009; Majhail et al., 2012).
Prolonged neutropenia in the pre-engraftment phase results is a substantial risk for bacterial and 
fungal infections, and has been the most important risk factor for invasive aspergillosis 
(Schwartz et al., 1984; Salzberger et al., 1997; Marr et al., 2002).
The most common bacterial infections in neutropenia are provided in the table below.

Fever during neutropenia in immunocompromised patients may be the only indication of a 
severe underlying infection, because signs and symptoms of inflammation typically are 
attenuated; pulmonary infection may have no signs on infiltrates on radiographs, CSF 
pleocytosis might be low or absent in the setting of meningitis. The guidance document for 
management of neutropenic patients with fever (Freifeld et al., 2011) also provides the details of 
the evidence to be used for the confirmation of the relevant bacterial or viral infection.
In this study, a history of infections, including ongoing infections at baseline, will be 
documented as part of the subject’s medical history. Any new infections that occur during the 
course of the study will be recorded as adverse events. It is recommended that bacterial and 
fungal infections diagnosed as possible/probable or proven per the criteria described by 
Boeckh et al. (2015) are reported.
FUNGAL INFECTIONS
A. Aspergillus spp. or other mold infection:
Proven: Clinical signs and symptoms plus a tissue biopsy revealing growth of an 
organism or positive histopathology.
Probable: Clinical signs and symptoms with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) yielding 
positive growth or positive histopathology.
Possible: at least 3 clinical signs or symptoms and growth of an organism from 
nonsterile fluid (ie, sputum).
B. Candida spp. or other yeast (eg, T. glabrata):

Proven fungemia: Any single positive blood culture that is culture positive for 
Candida spp. or T. glabrata. [Note: Removal of indwelling catheters is strongly 
encouraged.]

Tissue documented: Clinical signs and symptoms compatible with invasive yeast 
infection and a positive culture from a normally sterile site with histologic evidence of 
tissue invasion (definite) or positive culture from sterile site without histologic 
evidence of invasion (probable).
BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
A. Bacteremia:

Any single positive blood culture that is culture positive for bacterial pathogens 
consistent with a serious bloodstream infection.

Urinary tract infections will not be captured as opportunistic infections of interest.
