A Study of Maribavir Pediatric Formulation in Healthy Adult Participants

Registration Number
NCT05918822
Lead Sponsor
Takeda
Brief Summary

The study will have 2 parts, Part 1 and Part 2. Participants will only participate in one part.

The main aim of Part 1 of this study is to check the ability of a single dose of maribavir pediatric formulation to be absorbed in the digestive tract compared to commercial tablet formulation and to check how a high-fat, high-calorie meal affects absorption, distribution, and elimination of maribavir pediatric formulation given orally as water suspension.

The main aim of Part 2 of this study is to assess the stomach acid reducing effect of multiple doses of rabeprazole on absorption, distribution, and elimination of maribavir pediatric formulation given orally as water suspension.

Each participant will stay in the study clinic from the day before the first treatment until the day after the last treatment.

Detailed Description

Part 1 is a crossover design with three treatments (Treatments A, B, and C), six sequences, and three periods.

The relative bioavailability of 200 milligrams (mg) maribavir pediatric formulation administered orally as water suspension under fasting conditions (Treatment B) will be compared to 200 mg maribavir commercial tablet administered orally under fasting conditions (Treatment A). In addition, the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 200 mg maribavir pediatric formulation administered orally as water suspension under fasting conditions (Treatment B) and fed conditions (Treatment C) will be assessed. In each sequence, participants will receive three treatments (Treatments A, B, and C) per schedule.

* Sequence 1: Treatment A + Treatment B + Treatment C

* Sequence 2: Treatment A + Treatment C + Treatment B

* Sequence 3: Treatment B + Treatment A + Treatment C

* Sequence 4: Treatment B + Treatment C + Treatment A

* Sequence 5: Treatment C + Treatment A + Treatment B

* Sequence 6: Treatment C + Treatment B + Treatment A

Part 2 is a single fixed-sequence design with two treatments (Treatments D and E). The two treatments will be administered to evaluate the gastric acid-reducing effect of multiple doses of rabeprazole on the PK of a single dose of 200 mg maribavir pediatric formulation administered orally as water suspension.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Parts 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEsParts 1 and 2: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 16)

A TEAE was defined as an adverse event (AE) that was starting or worsening at the time of or after the first dose of maribavir administered in the study. An serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death; was life threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; was an important medical event that satisfies any of the following: might require intervention to prevent items 1 through 5 above and might exposed the participant to danger, even though the event is not immediately life threatening or fatal or does not result in hospitalization. Any clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) values and clinical laboratory parameters were considered as TEAEs.

Number of Participants Based on Severity of TEAEsParts 1 and 2: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 16)

Severity of TEAEs were determined by following criteria: Mild: An AE that was usually transient and might require only minimal treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event did not generally interfere with usual activities of daily living; Moderate: An AE that was usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic intervention. The event interfered with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort but possessed no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research participant; Severe: An AE that interrupted usual activities of daily living, or significantly affects clinical status, or might require intensive therapeutic intervention.

Number of Participants Based on Causality of TEAEsParts 1 and 2: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 16)

The causality relationship of each AE to the study drug was assessed using the following categories: Related: An AE that followed a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of a drug (including the course after withdrawal of the drug), or for which a causal relationship was at least a reasonable possibility, that was, the relationship could not be ruled out, although factors other than the drug, such as underlying diseases, complications, concomitant drugs and concurrent treatments, might also be responsible; Not Related: An AE that did not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of a drug and/or that could reasonably be explained by other factors, such as underlying diseases, complications, concomitant medications and concurrent treatments. Number of participants based on causality of TEAEs as assessed by the Investigator were reported.
