About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center, Dose-Titration Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Conivaptan (Vaprisol®) in Pediatric Subjects With Euvolemic or Hypervolemic Hyponatremia

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous conivaptan in pediatric subjects with abnormally low concentration of sodium in blood.

Read the detailed description

A 3:1 randomization between conivaptan and placebo will be implemented and randomization will be further stratified in a 1:1:2 ratio for age groups: 2-5 years, 6-10 years, and 11-17 years.

Subjects will need to remain hospitalized for the 48-hour Treatment Period through Hour 96 (Day 4). There will be a follow-up safety visit on Day 9 or day of hospital discharge, whichever occurs first. There is a final follow-up phone call at Day 32 to assess if any serious adverse events have occurred since hospital discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline to the End of the 48-hour Treatment Period in Serum Sodium

    Measured: baseline and 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Time From the First Dose of Study Medication to a Confirmed ≥ 4 mEq/L Increase From Baseline in Serum Sodium

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Number of Patients With Confirmed ≥ 4 mEq/L Increase From Baseline in Serum Sodium

    Measured: baseline and 48 hours

  3. Number of Subjects With Confirmed > 6 mEq/L Increase From Baseline in Serum Sodium or a Confirmed Normal Serum Sodium Level (Greater Than or Equal to 135 mEq/L)

    Measured: baseline and 48 hours

  4. Change From Baseline in Effective Water Clearance (EWC) Every 12 Hours

    Measured: Baseline, Hours 12, 24, 36 and 48

  5. Change From Baseline in Free Water Clearance (FWC)

    Measured: Baseline and 48 hours

  6. Number of Participants With an Overly Rapid Rise in Serum Sodium From Baseline

    an absolute serum sodium of 145 mEq/L at Hour 24 or an increase in serum sodium of greater than 12 mEq/L

    Measured: baseline and Hours 3, 8, 12 and 24.

  7. Population Pharmacokinetics: Clearance (CL)

    Based on conivaptan concentrations, the pharmacokinetics of the study population will be analyzed to determine median CL

    Measured: Up to Hour 60

  8. Population Pharmacokinetics: Volume of Distribution (Vd)

    Based on conivaptan concentrations, the pharmacokinetics of the study population will be analyzed to determine median Vd

    Measured: Up to Hour 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Conivaptan hydrochloride in people with Hyponatremia, run by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals at 3 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 3 inclusion and 23 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 1 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Colombia, United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 1 Mar 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?

Mean Change From Baseline to the End of the 48-hour Treatment Period in Serum Sodium (time frame: baseline and 48 hours). 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 1 Mar 2016.
