Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Number of Participants Who Require Preemptive HCMV Therapy
Number of participants who require preemptive HCMV therapy. The definition of requiring preemptive anti-HCMV therapy was meeting either one of the following conditions: 1. the plasma HCMV DNA level is \>= 1000 copies/mL (with or without HCMV disease) or 2. the plasma HCMV DNA level is \< 1000 copies/mL, but HCMV disease was reported
98 days
Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability. Patients treated with CSJ148 in Cohorts 1 and 2 were pooled to simplify the safety analyses.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment was performed.
- Male and female patients at least 18 years of age.
- Patients weighed between 45 -120 kg to participate in the study, and had a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 - 34 kg/m2
- Scheduled to undergo allogeneic bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell, or cord blood transplantation (transplant may be related or unrelated, T-cell depleted or non-T-cell depleted, myeloablative or non-myeloablative/reduced intensity, haploidentical) and began conditioning chemotherapy within 48 hours of planned dosing day.
- Patient seropositive for HCMV before transplantation; donor could be seropositive or seronegative for HCMV (donor positive/recipient or donor negative/recipient positive). Historical patient HCMV serology data collected within the last 12 months or local assays could be used to qualify the patient for enrollment.
- Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
You may not qualify if:
- Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or until the expected PD (pharmacodynamic) effect has returned to baseline, whichever is longer; or longer if required by local regulations.
- History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes.
- Karnofsky performance score \<50%.
- Had HCMV-related organ disease within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- Detectable HCMV infection (positive pp65 antigenemia or plasma HCMV DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays prior to enrollment from samples collected within 14 days prior to enrollment. Local assays could be used to qualify the patient for enrollment.
- Received any of the following within 30 days prior to enrollment: ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir, acyclovir (\>25 mg/kg/day IV), valacyclovir (\>3 gm/day oral), famciclovir (\>1500 mg/day oral), HCMV immune globulin, immune globulin (\>500 mg/kg), or any other medication with anti-HCMV activity.
- Required mechanical ventilation within 7 days prior to enrollment.
- Received any vasopressors or other agents for hemodynamic support within 7 days prior to enrollment. These agents included but are not limited to epinephrine, metaraminol, norepinephrine, dopamine, vasopressin, phenylephrine, and dobutamine.
- Impaired renal function requiring dialysis.
- Any surgical or medical condition which might increase the risk for thrombotic events if given immunoglobulins. These conditions included cryoglobulinemia, monoclonal gammopathies, and hypertriglyceridemia (fasting level \>1000 mg/dL). The investigator should make this determination in consideration of the subject's medical history and laboratory data.
- Severe liver disease or liver injury as indicated one or more of the following:
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>5-times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>5-times the upper limit of normal.
- Gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) \>5-times the upper limit of normal.
- Serum total bilirubin (TBL) \>3-times the upper limit of normal.
- +9 more criteria
