About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Prospective, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic and Safety Evaluation of Intravenous Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in the Treatment of Children 1 to 12 Years of Age With Influenza Infection

This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and safety of intravenous (iv) Tamiflu (oseltamivir) in 3 cohorts of children, aged 6-12, 3-5 and 1-2 years, with influenza infection. Patients will receive iv Tamiflu therapy for 5 days (10 doses). For patients whose conditions no longer merit continued iv dosing, therapy may be switched to oral Tamiflu to complete their prescribed course of treatment. If medically necessary, iv or oral therapy with Tamiflu may be continued for up to 5 additional days. Anticipated time on study treatment is 5 to 10 days.

  5. Total Clearance of Drug (CL) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate

    Measured: Day 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion

  6. Volume of Distribution (V) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate

    Measured: Day 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion

  7. Participants With Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 5-Fold Change in Neuraminidase Inhibition (NAI) Assay 50 Percent (%) Inhibitory Concentration (IC50) Values

    IC50 was defined as the concentration that causes 50% inhibition of viral activity. IC50 values were calculated using NAI assay. The 5-fold change was calculated as either >=5 times change in the NAI IC50 visit value from the Reference value at a visit, >=5 times change in the NAI IC50 Visit value from the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, 6 and 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing oseltamivir [Tamiflu] in people with Influenza, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 38 sites in 3 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Israel, Lebanon. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (AUClast) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 1 (time frame: Day 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01033734, 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 Aug 2016.
