Numerous clinical trials evaluate letermovir across diverse populations affected by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, including solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients, pregnant women, and pediatric and adult patients. Ranging from Early Phase 1 through Phase 4, these studies span recruitment statuses from not yet recruiting to completed and terminated. Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and government agencies, these trials evaluate prophylaxis, therapeutic efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
