FDA Approves Takeda's Livtencity™ (maribavir), First Treatment Approved for Post-Transplant Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection Resistant to Other Drugs

MIAMI, Nov. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand Institute is proud to announce its successful partnership with Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company Limited in naming the first treatment approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for adults and pediatric patients with post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that does not respond to available antiviral treatment for CMV.

"The entire Brand Institute and Drug Safety Institute Team congratulates Takeda Pharmaceuticals on the FDA approval of Livtencity™," said Brand Institute's Chairman and CEO, James L. Dettore. "Livtencity™ fills a significant unmet need among transplant recipients who are at risk of complications and death when faced with a cytomegalovirus infection. This approval shows that Livtencity™ has met the high standards of efficacy and safety required by the FDA."

"Our pharmaceutical naming services provide our clients with commercially appealing, legally viable, and FDA approvable names," Dettore said. "Our work demonstrated that Livtencity™ fulfilled or surpassed those objectives, and we could not be happier to see this brand name come to market."
