NCT06439342 / Not yet recruitingPhase 3

An Open-label, Single-arm Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Maribavir in Chinese Transplant Recipients With Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infections That Are Refractory or Resistant to Treatment With Ganciclovir, Valganciclovir, Cidofovir or Foscarnet

The main aim of this study is to learn how safe maribavir is in Chinese adults who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell or organ transplantation and have a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and how well they tolerate treatment with maribavir. Other aims are to see how effective maribavir is in treating CMV infection and getting rid of the symptoms, the recurrence rate of CMV infection after treatment with maribavir and if the treatment is required again. Researchers will also check for changes (mutations) occurring in the virus which may cause treatment with maribavir to no longer work well or to not work at all (resistance to maribavir).
The participants will be treated with maribavir for 8 weeks.
During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 18 times.

Article

ABSTRACT:

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a β-herpesvirus that poses severe disease risk for immunocompromised patients who experience primary infection or reactivation. Development and optimization of safe and effective anti-HCMV therapeutics is of urgent necessity for the prevention and treatment of HCMV-associated diseases in diverse populations. The use of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to limit HCMV infection poses a promising therapeutic strategy, as anti-HCMV mAbs largely inhibit infection by targeting virion glycoprotein complexes. In contrast, the small-molecule compounds currently approved for patients (e.g., ganciclovir, letermovir, and maribavir) target later stages of the HCMV life cycle. Here, we present a broadly neutralizing human mAb, designated 1C10, elicited from a VelocImmune mouse immunized with infectious HCMV particles. Clone 1C10 neutralizes infection after virion binding to cells by targeting gH/gL envelope complexes and potently reduces infection of diverse HCMV strains in fibroblast, trophoblast, and epithelial cells. Antibody competition assays found that 1C10 recognizes a region of gH associated with broad neutralization and binds to soluble pentamer in the low nanomolar range. Importantly, 1C10 treatment significantly reduced virus proliferation in both fibroblast and epithelial cells. Further, the combination treatment of mAb 1C10 with ganciclovir reduced HCMV infection and proliferation in a synergistic manner. This work characterizes a neutralizing human mAb for potential use as a HCMV treatment, as well as a possible therapeutic strategy utilizing combination-based treatments targeting disparate steps of the viral life cycle. Collectively, the findings support an antibody-based therapy to effectively treat patients at risk for HCMV-associated diseases.

IMPORTANCE:

Human cytomegalovirus is a herpesvirus that infects a large proportion of the population and can cause significant disease in diverse patient populations whose immune systems are suppressed or compromised. The development and optimization of safe anti-HCMV therapeutics, especially those that have viral targets and inhibition mechanisms different from current HCMV treatments, are of urgent necessity to better public health. Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that prevent HCMV entry of cells were identified by immunizing transgenic mice and screened for broad and effective neutralization capability. Here, we describe one such mAb, which was found to target gH/gL envelope complexes and effectively limit HCMV infection and dissemination. Further, administration of the antibody in combination with the antiviral drug ganciclovir inhibited HCMV in a synergistic manner, highlighting this approach and the use of anti-HCMV mAbs more broadly, as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of diverse patient populations.

Effect of Food, Crushing of Tablets, and Antacid Coadministration on Maribavir Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Participants: Results From 2 Phase 1, Open‐Label, Randomized, Crossover Studies

Article

Author: Sun, Kefeng ; Wu, Jingyang ; Song, Ivy H ; Ye, Ran ; Xu, Peixin ; Ilic, Katarina

Abstract:

The effect of food composition, tablet crushing, and antacid coadministration on maribavir pharmacokinetics was assessed in 2 Phase 1 studies in healthy adults. In the first, a single maribavir 400‐mg dose was administered under fasting conditions, with a low‐fat/low‐calorie or a high‐fat/high‐calorie meal. In the second, a single maribavir 100‐mg dose was administered under fasting conditions, as a crushed tablet, or as a whole tablet alone or with an antacid. The 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios were within 80%‐125% for area under the concentration‐time curve (AUC), but not for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for low‐fat/low‐calorie and high‐fat/high‐calorie meals versus fasting or for whole tablet with antacid versus whole tablet alone. The 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios for AUC and Cmax were within 80%‐125% for crushed versus whole tablet. Maribavir median time to Cmax value in plasma under fed conditions was delayed versus fasting conditions, but there was no statistical difference for crushed versus whole tablet or with versus without antacid. As the antiviral efficacy of maribavir is driven by AUC but not Cmax, findings suggest that maribavir can be administered with food or antacids or as a crushed tablet.

Takeda Announces Approval of LIVTENCITY® (maribavir) in Japan for Post-Transplant Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection/Disease That Is Refractory to Existing Anti-CMV Therapies

LIVTENCITY Is the First and Only Post-Transplant Anti-CMV Treatment Approved in Japan That Targets/Inhibits UL97 Protein Kinase1 CMV Is One of the Most Common and Serious Post-transplant Infections and Can Lead to Secondary Infections and Serious Consequences, Including Loss of Transplanted Organ and Failure of Graft2,3 OSAKA, Japan & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced that LIVTENCITY® (maribavir) has been approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease that is refractory to existing anti-CMV therapies.4 LIVTENCITY is the first and only post-transplant anti-CMV treatment approved in Japan that targets and inhibits pUL97 kinase and its natural substrates.1 “We are pleased by the approval of LIVTENCITY in Japan, which will provide the transplant community with a new option for treatment of post-transplant CMV infection in patients refractory to other therapies,” said Yasushi Kajii, Head, R&D Japan Region at Takeda. “A diagnosis of CMV infection can be particularly challenging for patients, and serious complications such as increased organ rejection and hospitalization rates can occur, when not successfully treated. We believe LIVTENCITY has the potential to help address the challenges faced by people with post-transplant CMV and transform the treatment landscape for patients in Japan.” The approval is primarily based on the results of the Phase 3 SOLSTICE trial (NCT02931539), which evaluated the safety and efficacy of LIVTENCITY versus alternative antiviral treatments for patients with CMV infection/disease refractory* to prior therapies who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or solid organ transplant (SOT), and the Japanese Phase 3 open-label study in patients with CMV infection, including those with refractory* CMV infection who underwent HSCT or SOT (NCT05137717). In the SOLSTICE trial (maribavir n=235, alternative treatments n=117), maribavir showed statistically significant improvement when compared to alternative antiviral treatments at the end of Week 8 for the primary endpoint of confirmed CMV viremia clearancea in post-transplant (HSCT or SOT) adults with refractory* CMV infection.5 Of the 234 patients included in the safety evaluation, adverse reactions (related cases) were observed in 141 patients (60.3%).5 An open-label, multicenter, single-arm study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety in Japanese patients in post-transplant (HSCT or SOT) adultsc (41 randomized, including 3 subjects with CMV infection refractory* to the most recently administered anti-CMV agent). The primary endpoint of CMV viremia clearanceb at the end of Study Week 8 was achieved in 33.3% of patients with refractory* CMV infection.4 Of 41 subjects included in the safety evaluation, adverse reactions (related events) were observed in 36.6% (15 subjects). 4 About LIVTENCITY LIVTENCITY (maribavir), an orally administered (tablet) anti-CMV compound, is the first and only antiviral agent that targets and inhibits the CMV-specific UL97 protein kinase and thus its natural substrates.1 As of June 2024, LIVTENCITY is approved in more than 30 countries for post-transplant CMV refractory* to prior therapies, including such major markets as Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, the European Union and China. LIVTENCITY Product Overview in Japan Product Name LIVTENCITY 200 mg tablets. Generic Name Maribavir Indications The post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease that is refractory to existing anti-CMV therapies. Precautions concerning indications This drug should be administered to post-transplant patients with CMV infection/disease who have responded inadequately to other therapies. Efficacy and safety have not been studied in patients with CMV infection of the central nervous system and CMV retinitis. Based on nonclinical studies, this drug is expected to cross the blood-brain barrier but has low potential to enter the central nervous system. Dosage and Administration Usually, the recommended dosage for adultsc is 400 mg of maribavir to be administered orally twice daily. About Takeda’s SOLSTICE Trial The TAK-620-303 (SOLSTICE) trial (NCT02931539, EudraCT 2015-004725-13) was a Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of maribavir treatment compared to investigator-assigned treatment (alternative antiviral therapies) in 352 HSCT and SOT recipients with CMV infections that were refractory* or resistant to one or a combination of the alternative antiviral therapies: ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir. Adult patients underwent a 2-week screening period, followed by randomization 2:1 to maribavir (n=235) (400 mg, twice daily) or alternative antiviral treatments (n=117) (as dosed by the investigator) for up to 8 weeks. After completion of the treatment period, subjects entered a 12-week follow-up phase.5 The trial’s primary efficacy endpoint was confirmed CMV viremia clearance a at the end of Week 8. The key secondary endpoint was confirmed CMV viremia clearance and CMV infection symptom control† at the end of Study Week 8 with maintenance of this treatment effect through Study Week 16.5 About Cytomegalovirus (CMV) CMV is a beta herpesvirus that commonly infects humans; serologic evidence of prior infection can be found in 40-100% of various adult populations.6 CMV typically resides latent and asymptomatic in the body but may reactivate during periods of immunosuppression. Serious disease may occur in individuals with compromised immune systems, which includes patients who receive immunosuppressants associated with various types of transplants including HSCT or SOT.5,7 Out of the estimated 200,000 adult transplants per year globally, CMV is one of the most common viral infections experienced by transplant recipients, with an estimated incidence rate between 16-56% in SOT recipients and 30-80% in HSCT recipients.7,8 In transplant recipients, reactivation of CMV infection can lead to secondary infections and serious consequences, including graft loss and, in extreme cases, can be fatal.2,3,5 About Takeda Takeda is focused on creating better health for people and a brighter future for the world.

LIVTENCITY Safety Information Contraindications Contraindications include Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients and co‑administration with ganciclovir or valganciclovir. Special warnings and precautions for use Some maribavir pUL97 resistance-associated substitutions confer cross-resistance to ganciclovir and valganciclovir. CMV DNA levels should be monitored, and resistance mutations should be investigated in patients who do not respond to treatment. Treatment should be discontinued if maribavir resistance mutations are detected. LIVTENCITY is not expected to be effective in treating CMV CNS infections (e.g. meningo‑encephalitis). LIVTENCITY has the potential to increase the concentrations of immunosuppressants that are cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A/P-gp substrates with narrow therapeutic margins (including tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus and everolimus). The plasma levels of these immunosuppressants must be frequently monitored throughout treatment with LIVTENCITY, especially following initiation and after discontinuation of LIVTENCITY, and doses should be adjusted, as needed. The concomitant use of LIVTENCITY and certain medicinal products may result in known or potentially significant medicinal product interactions, some of which may lead to: possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposure of concomitant medicinal products. reduced therapeutic effect of LIVTENCITY. Sodium content: This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially ‘sodium‑free’. Pregnancy & Breast-feeding: LIVTENCITY is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Breast‑feeding should be discontinued during treatment with LIVTENCITY. Interactions Effect of other medicinal products on maribavir: Co-administration of maribavir with strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inducers rifampicin, rifabutin or St. John’s wort is not recommended. If co-administration of maribavir with other strong or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, efavirenz, phenobarbital and phenytoin) cannot be avoided, the maribavir dose should be increased to 1 200 mg twice daily. No dose adjustment is needed when maribavir is co‑administered with CYP3A inhibitors. Effect of maribavir on other medicinal products: If dose adjustments of concomitant medicinal products are made due to treatment with maribavir, doses should be readjusted after treatment with maribavir is completed. Co-administration of maribavir with valganciclovir and ganciclovir is contraindicated. Concomitant administration of maribavir and medicinal products that are sensitive substrates of CYP1A2 with a narrow therapeutic window (e.g., tizanidine and theophylline) should be avoided due to the risk for lack of efficacy of CYP1A2 substrates. When the immunosuppressants tacrolimus, cyclosporine, everolimus or sirolimus are co-administered with maribavir, immunosuppressant levels should be frequently monitored throughout treatment with maribavir, especially following initiation and after discontinuation of maribavir and dose adjusted, when needed. Caution should be exercised when maribavir and sensitive P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran) are co‑administered. Serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored, and dose of digoxin may need to be reduced, as needed (see Table 1). Co‑administration of maribavir with sensitive BCRP substrates such as rosuvastatin, is expected to increase their exposure and lead to undesirable effects. Adverse Reactions Very common (≥1/10) Taste disturbance, Diarrhoea, Nausea, Vomiting, Fatigue Common (≥1/100 to <1/10) Headache, Abdominal pain upper, Decreased appetite, Immunosuppressant drug level increased, Weight decreased The most commonly reported serious adverse reactions were diarrhoea (2%) and nausea, weight decreased, fatigue, immunosuppressant drug level increased, and vomiting (all occurring at < 1%).

Takeda Announces China NMPA Approval of LIVTENCITY® (maribavir) for the Treatment of Adults With Post-transplant Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Refractory to Prior Therapies

- LIVTENCITY Is the First and Only Inhibitor of CMV-specific UL97 Protein Kinase Approved in China for the Treatment of Adults With Post-transplant CMV Infection/Disease Refractory* to Conventional Anti-CMV Treatment - Approval Based on Phase 3 TAK-620-303 SOLSTICE Study Demonstrating Maribavir Was Superior to Conventional Therapies at Week 8, for Primary Endpoint1 - CMV Is One of the Most Common and Serious Post-transplant Infections and Can Lead to Other Serious Infections, Loss of Transplanted Organ and Failure of Graft2,3 OSAKA, Japan & CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced that LIVTENCITY® (maribavir) has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment of adult patients with post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or solid organ transplant (SOT) cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease that is refractory to treatment (with or without genotypic resistance) with ganciclovir, valganciclovir, cidofovir or foscarnet. LIVTENCITY is the first and only inhibitor of CMV-specific UL97 protein kinase in China for this indication. LIVTENCITY was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by China Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) in 2021. “The approval of LIVTENCITY by the NMPA of China recognizes the critical need for post-transplant care and that CMV infection, when not successfully treated, can pose serious challenges to transplant recipients that can lead to complications such as increased organ rejection and hospitalization rates,” said Ramona Sequeira, president, Global Portfolio Division, Takeda. “This approval will help redefine the CMV treatment landscape for transplant patients in China and is a positive step forward toward addressing an unmet need for this community.” The NMPA approval is based on the results of the Phase 3 SOLSTICE trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of maribavir versus conventional antiviral therapies – ganciclovir, valganciclovir, cidofovir or foscarnet – for the treatment of patients with CMV infection/disease refractory* to prior therapies. In the SOLSTICE trial, LIVTENCITY was superior to conventional therapies at Week 8 for the primary endpoint of confirmed CMV viremia clearancea in post-transplant adults with refractory* CMV infection.1 The NMPA approval marks the 12th approval of LIVTENCITY around the world for post-transplant CMV refractory* to prior therapies, including four other major markets beyond China: the United States, Canada, Australia and the European Union.4-7 Out of the estimated 200,000 adult transplants per year globally, CMV is one of the most common infections experienced by transplant patients with an estimated incidence rate of 16%-56% in SOT and 30%-80% in HSCT recipients.8,9 About LIVTENCITY LIVTENCITY (maribavir), an orally bioavailable anti-CMV compound, is the first and only antiviral agent that targets and inhibits the UL97 protein kinase and thus its natural substrates.1 It is approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment of adults with post-HSCT or SOT cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease that is refractory to treatment (with or without genotypic resistance) with ganciclovir, valganciclovir, cidofovir or foscarnet. Product Name LIVTENCITY 200 mg film coated tablets. Generic Name Maribavir Posology and Administration LIVTENCITY should be initiated by a physician experienced in the management of patients who have undergone solid organ transplant or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Posology: The recommended dose of LIVTENCITY is 400 mg (two 200 mg tablets) twice daily resulting in a daily dose of 800 mg for 8 weeks. Treatment duration may need to be individualized based on the clinical characteristics of each patient. Pediatric population: The safety and efficacy of LIVTENCITY in patients below 18 years of age have not been established. No data are available. Method of administration: Oral use. LIVTENCITY is intended for oral use only and can be taken with or without food. The film coated tablet can be taken as a whole tablet, a crushed tablet, or a crushed tablet through a nasogastric or orogastric tube. About Takeda’s SOLSTICE Trial The TAK-620-303 (SOLSTICE) trial (NCT02931539, EudraCT 2015-004725-13) was a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled superiority trial to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with either maribavir or conventional antiviral therapy in 352 hematopoietic stem cell transplant and solid organ transplant recipients with CMV infection refractory* to one or a combination of the conventional antiviral therapies: ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, or cidofovir. Adult patients underwent a 2-week screening period, followed by randomization 2:1 to maribavir (n=235) (400 mg, twice daily) or conventional antiviral therapies (n=117) (as dosed by the investigator) for up to 8 weeks. After completion of the treatment period, subjects entered a 12-week follow-up phase.1 The trial’s primary efficacy endpoint was confirmed CMV viremia clearance a at the end of Week 8. The key secondary endpoint was confirmed CMV viremia clearance and CMV infection symptom control† at the end of Study Week 8 with maintenance of this treatment effect through Study Week 16.1 About CMV CMV is a beta herpesvirus that commonly infects humans; serologic evidence of prior infection can be found in 40-100% of various adult populations.10 CMV typically resides latent and asymptomatic in the body but may reactivate during periods of immunosuppression. Serious disease may occur in individuals with compromised immune systems, which includes patients who receive immunosuppressants associated with various types of transplants including HSCT or SOT.8 Out of the estimated 200,000 adult transplants per year globally, CMV is one of the most common viral infections experienced by transplant recipients, with an estimated incidence rate between 16-56% in SOT recipients and 30-80% in HSCT recipients.8,9 In transplant recipients, reactivation of CMV can lead to serious consequences including graft loss and, in extreme cases, can be fatal.1,2 Existing therapies to treat post-transplant CMV infections may demonstrate serious side effects that require dose adjustments or may fail to adequately suppress viral replication.11 Additionally, existing therapies may require or prolong hospitalization due to administration.11,12 About Takeda Takeda is focused on creating better health for people and a brighter future for the world.

LIVTENCITY Safety Information Contraindications Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients and co-administration with ganciclovir or valganciclovir. Special warnings and precautions for use Virologic failure can occur during and after treatment with LIVTENCITY. Some maribavir pUL97 resistance-associated substitutions confer cross-resistance to ganciclovir and valganciclovir. CMV DNA levels should be monitored, and resistance mutations should be investigated in patients who do not respond to treatment. Treatment should be discontinued if maribavir resistance mutations are detected. LIVTENCITY is not expected to be effective in treating CMV CNS infections (e.g. meningo encephalitis). LIVTENCITY has the potential to increase the concentrations of immunosuppressants that are cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A/P-gp substrates with narrow therapeutic margins (including tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus and everolimus). The plasma levels of these immunosuppressants must be frequently monitored throughout treatment with LIVTENCITY, especially following initiation and after discontinuation of LIVTENCITY, and doses should be adjusted, as needed. The concomitant use of LIVTENCITY and certain medicinal products may result in known or potentially significant medicinal product interactions, some of which may lead to: possible clinically significant adverse reactions from greater exposure of concomitant medicinal products. reduced therapeutic effect of LIVTENCITY. Sodium content: This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially ‘sodium free’. Pregnancy & Breast-feeding: LIVTENCITY is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Breast feeding should be discontinued during treatment with LIVTENCITY. Interactions If dose adjustments of concomitant medicinal products are made due to treatment with maribavir, doses should be readjusted after treatment with maribavir is completed. Effect of other medicinal products on maribavir: Co-administration of maribavir with strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inducers rifampicin, rifabutin or St. John’s wort is not recommended. If co-administration of maribavir with other strong or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, efavirenz, phenobarbital and phenytoin) cannot be avoided, the maribavir dose should be increased to 1 200 mg twice daily. No dose adjustment is needed when maribavir is co-administrated with CYP3A inhibitors. Effect of maribavir on other medicinal products: Co-administration of maribavir with valganciclovir and ganciclovir is contraindicated. Concomitant administration of maribavir and medicinal products that are sensitive substrates of CYP1A2 with a narrow therapeutic window (e.g., tizanidine and theophylline) should be avoided due to the risk for lack of efficacy of CYP1A2 substrates. When the immunosuppressants tacrolimus, cyclosporine, everolimus or sirolimus are co-administered with maribavir, immunosuppressant levels should be frequently monitored throughout treatment with maribavir, especially following initiation and after discontinuation of maribavir and dose adjusted, when needed. Caution should be exercised when maribavir and sensitive P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran) are co administered. Serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored, and dose of digoxin may need to be reduced, as needed. Co-administration of maribavir with sensitive BCRP substrates such as rosuvastatin, is expected to increase their exposure and lead to undesirable effects. Adverse Reactions Very common (≥1/10) Taste disturbance, Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Fatigue Common (≥1/100 to <1/10) Headache, Abdominal pain upper, Decreased appetite, Immunosuppressant drug level increased, Weight decreased The most commonly reported serious adverse reactions were diarrhea (2%) and nausea, weight decreased, fatigue, immunosuppressant drug concentration level increased, and vomiting (all occurring at >1%).
