ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Confirmed Clearance of Plasma Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) at the End of Study Week 8Week 8
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for the primary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment (regardless of whether study-assigned treatment was completed).
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Confirmed CMV Viremia Clearance and CMV Infection Symptom Control at the End of Week 8, Followed by Maintenance of Treatment Effect at Week 16Week 8 up to Week 16
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for this key secondary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment (regardless of whether study-assigned treatment was completed). CMV Infection Symptom Control is defined as no new clinical findings of CMV tissue invasive disease. Maintenance of Treatment Effect is defined as maintaining confirmed CMV viremia clearance and CMV infection symptom control through Week 16.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Confirmed Clearance of Plasma CMV DNA (CMV Viremia Clearance) at Week 8 After Receiving 8 Weeks of Study Assigned TreatmentWeek 8
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for this secondary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment for 8 weeks. Participants who discontinued treatment early were non-responders for this endpoint.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved Confirmed CMV Viremia Clearance After Receiving 8 Weeks of Study-assigned Treatment Through Weeks 12, 16 and 20Week 8 through Weeks 12, 16 and 20
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for this secondary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment for 8 weeks.
Secondary
Number of Participants Who Maintained Confirmed CMV Viremia Clearance at Week 8 After Receiving Study-Assigned Treatment Through Study Weeks 12 and 20 Regardless of Whether Study Assigned Treatment Was Completed
Week 8 through Weeks 12 and 20
Confirmed CMV viremia clearance is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentrations less than lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; i.e. \<137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]), when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive post baseline samples separated by at least 5 days. To be considered a responder for this secondary endpoint, the participant must have received exclusively study-assigned treatment (regardless of whether the 8-week study-assigned treatment was completed or discontinued early) and had no symptoms of tissue invasive CMV disease at Week 8, Week 8 through Week 12, and Week 8 through Week 20, respectively.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Confirmed Recurrence of Viremia During First 8 Weeks of the StudyUp to Week 8
Recurrence of CMV viremia is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration greater than or equal to (\>=) lower limit of quantification (LLOQ, i.e. \>=137 International units per milliliter \[IU/mL\]) when assessed by COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® CMV Test in 2 consecutive plasma samples at least 5 days apart, after being unquantifiable (\<LLOQ, i.e. \<137 IU/mL) for at least 5 days in 2 consecutive samples during the first 8 weeks of the study, during the 12 weeks of the follow up study phase, and at any time during the study.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Confirmed Recurrence of Viremia During the Follow-up PeriodFrom Week 9 up to Week 20
Recurrence of CMV viremia is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration greater than or equal to (\>=) 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 during the first 8 weeks of the study, during the 12 weeks of the follow up study phase, and at any time during the study.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Confirmed Recurrence of Viremia at Any Time During the StudyUp to Week 20
Recurrence of CMV viremia is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration greater than or equal to (\>=) 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 during the first 8 weeks of the study, during the 12 weeks of the follow up study phase, and at any time during the study.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Confirmed Recurrence of Viremia While on Study Treatment and Off TreatmentBaseline up to Week 20
Recurrence of CMV viremia is defined as plasma CMV DNA concentration greater than or equal to (\>=) 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 during the first 8 weeks of the study, during the 12 weeks of the follow up study phase, and at any time during the study.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Grade 3 or 4 (Shift From Baseline Grade <3) and Grade 4 Neutropenia (Shift From Baseline Grade <4) While on Study TreatmentFrom start of study drug to end of study drug + 1 day (up to approximately Week 8)
Grade 3 and grade 4 neutropenia are defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<1000 per cubic millimeter (/mm\^3) and ANC \<500/mm\^3 respectively. Incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia represents the percentage of participants with Grade \<3 (or missing) neutropenia at baseline, but Grade 3 or 4 while on study treatment. Incidence of Grade 4 neutropenia represents the number of participants with Grade \<4 (or missing) neutropenia at baseline, but Grade 4 while on study treatment.
