|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate treatment efficacy of Certican® (everolimus) as add-on therapy against CMV-disease in comparison to either valganciclovir or ganciclovir alone, as measured by qCMV-PCR titers.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to demonstrate the efficacy of Certican® as add-on therapy against CMV-disease in comparison to either valganciclovir or ganciclovir alone and to assess the safety and the tolerability of Certican® in patients with CMV-disease. Moreover, to study the effects of Certican® treatment on the quality of life. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the lowering of CMV-titers, as determined by qCMV PCR, statistically analyzed by comparing the CMV-titer curves of the Certican® group versus the other (by ANOVA). | — |
