The Difference in Linear Growth by Treatment Assignment at 1 Year Post Kidney Transplantation

Standardized Z-scores were computed following a formula using an age- and gender-specific calculation provided by the NHANES III 2000 Growth Data set. The Z-score system expresses anthropometric values of height as several standard deviations (SDs) below (e.g., a negative value) or above (a positive value) the reference mean or median value. In this study the measure was used to test whether there is a difference in the change in height between the treatment groups: Steroid-Based versus Steroid-Free (NCT00141037)

Number of Ears With Improvement or Protected Hearing in Hearing Assessments Over Left and Right Ears at 6 Months.(Based on 84 Ears From 43 Placebo Subjects and 82 Ears From 43 Valganciclovir Subjects)

"Hearing assessment was evaluated by an independent audiologist. At baseline, a brainstem evoked response (BSER) assessment and autoacoustic emissions (OAEs) hearing assessments were obtained. At 6 months, BSER and /or Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) and OAEs were obtained. A single, independent study audiologist who was blinded to treatment assignment assessed the audiology test battery for each subject and assigned the classifications of normal hearing, mild hearing loss, moderate hearing loss, or severe hearing loss based upon their hearing thresholds (in decibels). The classifications were assigned by ear (one for the left ear and one for the right ear), giving total ear classifications. Following this, the study audiologist assigned the best ear classification for the subject at that study visit; for example, if a subject had mild hearing loss in their left ear and severe hearing loss in their right ear, then the best ear classification was mild hearing loss."

Number of Ears With Hearing Deterioration Over Left and Right Ears at 12 Months.(Based on 77 Ears From 40 Placebo Subjects and 79 Ears From 41 Valganciclovir Subjects)

"Hearing assessment was evaluated by an independent audiologist. At baseline, a brainstem evoked response (BSER) assessment and autoacoustic emissions (OAEs) hearing assessments were obtained. At 12 months, BSER and /or Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) and OAEs were obtained. A single, independent study audiologist who was blinded to treatment assignment assessed the audiology test battery for each subject and assigned the classifications of normal hearing, mild hearing loss, moderate hearing loss, or severe hearing loss based upon their hearing thresholds (in decibels). The classifications were assigned by ear (one for the left ear and one for the right ear), giving total ear classifications. Following this, the study audiologist assigned the best ear classification for the subject at that study visit; for example, if a subject had mild hearing loss in their left ear and severe hearing loss in their right ear, then the best ear classification was mild hearing loss."

Association of Change in Viral Load (Blood) With Change in Best Ear Hearing at 6 Months

Analysis of actual viral load was done using log base 10 transformation. Undetectable viral load value was replaced by a value of 10. A summary measure of the viral load over time considers all time points available by calculating the average area under the curve (AUC) (trapezoidal rule) applied to the log base 10 viral load. Average is based on the maximum period of time with viral load data for a given subject. The average or standardize AUC units is therefore the original AUC units of log 10 copies/ml*days divided by days in study which equals log 10 copies/ml. (NCT01649869)

Change in Total Ear Hearing Assessments [Worse+ no Change (Abnormal to Abnormal) Versus Other] Between Baseline and Study Month 6.

"A single, independent study audiologist who is masked (blinded) to treatment assignment will assess the audiology test battery for each subject and assign the classifications of normal hearing, mild hearing loss, moderate hearing loss, or severe hearing loss based upon their hearing thresholds (in decibels). The classifications will be assigned by ear (one for the left ear and one for the right ear), giving total ear classifications. At the analyses stage, the best ear classification for the subject at that study visit will be determined; for example, if a subject had mild hearing loss in their left ear and severe hearing loss in their right ear, then the best ear classification will be mild hearing loss."

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs During the On-treatment Observation Period

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE was any untoward medical occurrence (whether considered to be related to study-assigned treatment or not) that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or was an important medical event. TEAEs was defined as any adverse events (classified by preferred term) that had a start date on or after the first dose of study treatment or that had a start date before the date of first dose of study treatment, but increased in severity after the first dose of study treatment. (NCT02931539)
Timeframe: Baseline up to 7 days or 21 days (if cidofovir used) after the last dose of study treatment (up to Week 8)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. (NCT03443869)
