Summary

This trial is testing an experimental antiviral drug to see if it is safe and tolerable for people with adenovirus infection.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 2 months and older with Adenovirus infection, showing high virus levels in the blood. Participants must either have a widespread infection or be immunocompromised with asymptomatic or localized disease. They should need intravenous treatment but can't join if they have severe skin reactions, gut/liver issues from graft-versus-host disease, weigh over 120 kg, or had recent severe diarrhea.
What is being tested?
The study tests different doses of an intravenous drug called Brincidofovir (BCV) to find a safe and tolerable amount for treating Adenovirus infections. It's given in increasing amounts to see how patients handle it.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for BCV are not listed here, similar antiviral drugs often cause gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and diarrhea, potential kidney damage, and may affect liver enzymes leading to liver issues.
