Brief Summary:
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of NPC-21 when administered prophylactically to cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative patients receiving a first kidney transplant from a CMV seropositive donor.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cytomegalovirus Disease Drug: NPC-21 Low dose Drug: NPC-21 High dose Drug: NPC-21 Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of NPC-21 for kidney transplant recipients at high risk of CMV infection in the United States and Japan. Approximately 108 eligible patients will be randomized prior to first study drug administration to receive low-dose NPC 21, high-dose NPC-21, or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by region (United States or Japan)

  4. Patients must be eligible to undergo kidney transplantation from a living or deceased donor, as per institutional standards.
  5. Patients must agree with contraception by using appropriate contraceptive measures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Patients who receive a multi-organ transplant.
  3. Patients who have CMV disease or CMV viremia at Screening.
  4. Patients who have a positive donor-specific antibody within 90 days prior to Randomization confirmed via medical records.
  5. Patients whose body weight is more than 120 kg at Screening.

  6. Patients who have received the following anti-CMV therapy within 7 days prior to Randomization and/or plan to receive the following anti-CMV therapy during the study:

    ・ Anti-CMV agents (eg, foscarnet, ganciclovir, valganciclovir, letermovir, high dose acyclovir, high dose valacyclovir, high dose famciclovir, or cidofovir).

    Note: The use of anti-CMV agents per local standard of care during the Rescue Phase of the study is permitted.

    Note: The use of anti-herpes simplex virus and anti-varicella zoster virus prophylaxis for at-risk patients is recommended (as long as the doses are below the one specified above).

  7. Patients who have received the following therapy within 28 days prior to Randomization and/or plan to receive the following anti-CMV therapy during the study:
