About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Prospective, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic and Safety Evaluation of Intravenous Oseltamivir in the Treatment of Infants Less Than One Year of Age With Influenza Infection

This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of oseltamivir [Tamiflu] in 3 cohorts of infants, aged 0-30 days, 31-90 days and 91-<365 days with influenza infection. Patients will receive 10 doses of intravenous oseltamivir [Tamiflu] therapy over 5 or 6 days. Optional oral therapy with oseltamivir [Tamiflu] may be considered following the intravenous dose associated with pharmacokinetic blood sampling. Evidence of continued virus shedding at day 6 can allow for up to 5 additional days (10 doses) of oral or intravenous administration. Anticipated time on study drug is 5-11 days. Target sample size is <50 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (AUClast) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 1

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1

  2. AUClast of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 2

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 2

  3. AUClast of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 4

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 4

  4. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 1

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1

  5. Cmax of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 2

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 2

  6. Cmax of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate on Day 4

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 4

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 2, pre-dose (Hour 0), 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 4

  2. Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (Clast) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 2, pre-dose (Hour 0), 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 4

  3. Time of the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (Tlast) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate

    Measured: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 2, pre-dose (Hour 0), 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 4

  4. Number of 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 or ≥5 times change in the NAI IC50 Visit value from the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline, Days 1, 3, 4, 6, 15

  5. Number of Participants With Oseltamivir Resistance Mutation

    Resistance was assessed by neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) genes sequencing analysis, using Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).

    Measured: Up to Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tamiflu in people with Influenza, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 39 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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States, Israel. 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 27 Jul 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: Pre-dose (Hour 0), 2, 3-4, 5-7, and 10-12 hours post-dose on Day 1). The study lists 6 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 NCT01053663, 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 27 Jul 2016.
