About this study

Official title: A Study of the Relative Oral Bioavailability of the Antiflu Medicine Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) in Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

This proposed pharmacokinetic study will test the hypothesis that in critically ill patients with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation such as might be anticipated to be needed to treat patients with severe influenza pneumonia, oseltamivir administered enterally via nasogastric tube, with and without concomitant food or alimentation, will have similar oral bioavailability to that observed in ambulatory adults ill with influenza in whom oseltamivir therapy 75 mg BID is efficacious and well tolerated. Additionally, this experiment will test the hypothesis that increasing the dose (150 mg), with and without concomitant enteral feeding, will show a proportionate increase in bioavailability. Relative oral bioavailability will be assessed from plasma concentration vs. time over 12 hrs and urinary recovery of drug from 0 to 48 hrs after administration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oseltamivir 75 mgDrug

    Also called Tamiflu

    The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the pharmacokinetics of oseltamivir, when given enterally to critically ill patients, in the standard treatment dose of 75 mg or double that dose, 150 mg, will yield a plasma concentration - versus - Time Area under the curve (AUC) similar to that observed in adults with influenza treated successfully with a dose of 75 mg, that the disposition characteristics are dose proportionate and are not altered by the concomitant administration of enteral feedings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Oseltamivir administered enterally via nasogastric tube, with and without concomitant food or alimentation, will have similar oral bioavailability to that observed in ambulatory adults .

    Measured: 13 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Test the hypothesis that increasing the dose (150 mg), with and without concomitant enteral feeding, will show a proportionate increase in bioavailability.

    Measured: 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oseltamivir 75 mg in people with Influenza A Virus Infection and Influenza B Virus Infection, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oseltamivir administered enterally via nasogastric tube, with and without concomitant food or alimentation, will have similar oral bioavailability to that observed in ambulatory adults . (time frame: 13 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Sep 2019.
