About this trial
Researchers are looking for a way to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children and adolescents who receive a kidney transplant (KT) and weigh less than 40 kilograms (88.2 pounds). The goals of the study are to:
* Learn what happens to letermovir in the body over time * Learn about the safety of letermovir and if participants tolerate it

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24)
Blood samples will be collected at multiple time points to estimate AUC0-24
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who experienced an AE is reported.
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is reported.
