Overview
Brief Summary
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections remain a significant problem following various types of transplants that are associated with strong immunosuppressive therapy. Maribavir is a new oral anti-CMV drug with a novel mechanism of action compared to currently available anti-CMV drugs. This study will test the safety and anti-CMV activity of different doses of maribavir when given as CMV prophylaxis following stem cell transplants.
