A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Oral Dose of Maribavir Administered in Healthy Japanese Participants Compared With Matched, Healthy, Non-Hispanic, Caucasian Participants and to Assess Dose-Proportionality of 3 Doses of Maribavir in Japanese Participants

September 1, 2025 updated by: Shire

A Phase 1, Open-label, Randomized, Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Oral Dose of Maribavir Administered in Healthy Japanese Subjects Compared With Matched, Healthy, Non-Hispanic, Caucasian Subjects and to Assess Dose-Proportionality of 3 Doses of Maribavir in the Japanese Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of maribavir administered as a single oral dose in healthy, adult participants of Japanese descent and matched, healthy, adult, non-Hispanic, Caucasian participants. In addition, this study will assess the dose-proportionality of PK of maribavir in healthy, adult participants of Japanese descent.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted in two cohorts, Cohort A and Cohort B. Cohort A consists of 12 participants of Japanese Descent. Cohort B consists of 12 non-Hispanic, Caucasian participants.

For Japanese participants there will be three treatment periods. In Treatment Period 1, they will receive maribavir as a single 400 mg oral dose. In Treatment Periods 2 and 3, all Japanese participants will receive maribavir as a single oral dose of either 200 mg or 800 mg, depending upon randomization assignment. For the non-Hispanic, Caucasian group there will be only one treatment period and they will receive maribavir as a single 400 mg oral dose.

Time Frame: From start of study drug administration to follow-up (up to Day 23)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this investigational product (IP) or medicinal product. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one, more of the following criteria: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event. A TEAE was any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an IP or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product.
