About this study

Official title: A Phase IA Single Dose Pharmacokinetics and Safety Study of the Oral Antiviral Compound, 9-[2-(Bispivaloyloxymethyl)Phosphonylmethoxyethyl]Adenine (Bis-POM PMEA) (Adefovir Dipivoxil) in Children With HIV-1 Infection

To evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile and acute toxicity of bis-POM PMEA ( adefovir dipivoxil ) in HIV-1 infected children, and to determine whether age-related differences exist. To ascertain dosages that may be suitable for a multiple-dose evaluation in this patient population.

Although the oral bioavailability of PMEA ( adefovir ) is low, the prodrug bis-POM PMEA has resulted in increased bioavailability in adult patients in clinical trials. However, the safety and pharmacokinetic patterns of drugs in infants often differ from those of adults and the direction of the variation is not predictable. This study will assess these parameters of bis-POM PMEA in children.

Read the detailed description

Although the oral bioavailability of PMEA ( adefovir ) is low, the prodrug bis-POM PMEA has resulted in increased bioavailability in adult patients in clinical trials. However, the safety and pharmacokinetic patterns of drugs in infants often differ from those of adults and the direction of the variation is not predictable. This study will assess these parameters of bis-POM PMEA in children.

Patients are stratified by age, and separate cohorts from each age group receive 1 of 2 single doses of bis-POM PMEA. The lower dose is given to patients ages 3 months through 17 years; if toxicity is acceptable, the other cohort in this age range receives the higher dose. At this point, accrual of infants < 3 months old may begin at the lower dose, followed by accrual of this age group at the higher dose if toxicity is acceptable. Serum drug concentrations are monitored up to 8 hours post dose.

AS PER AMENDMENT 5/2/97: Based on data from both the low- and high-dose cohorts of the older age group (>= 3 months to < 18 years), the younger age group (<3 months) will be started at the high-dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adefovir dipivoxil in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 10 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 27 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00000843, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
