Two of the 36 subjects who achieved BQL subsequently, experienced a virologic breakthrough (detectable plasma CMV DNA at any level, even if level returned to BQL at later visits) while on treatment. On the other hand, in the study of resistant/refractory CMV, among 39 subjects receiving maribavir (all doses combined), the Company revealed that 26 (84%) achieved BQL during therapy, four subjects failed to achieve BQL while on therapy, and one subject had withdrawn for non-virologic reasons prior to achieving BQL. 11 of the 26 subjects who achieved BQL subsequently experienced virologic breakthrough while on treatment.
