Letermovir is an antiviral medication approved for the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult CMV-seropositive recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). It works as a CMV DNA terminase complex inhibitor and is currently approved and in clinical use.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic model parameters for healthy adult subjects, mainly following oral administration, as reported in published population pharmacokinetic studies.
