About this study

Official title: Post-Marketing Surveillance of Synagis in Korean Pediatric Patients Under the "New Drug Re-Examination"

Approximately 600 pediatric patients prescribed palivizumab (Synagis) prophylaxis in usual practice according to the approved Korean product label will be registered into this observational study. Baseline data will be obtained at enrollment including demographics, gestational age, birth weight and underlying diseases and complications especially in regard to respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease. At routine visits for Synagis administration, which will occur according to usual medical practice, information on Synagis prophylaxis, concomitant medication, and adverse events will be collected for up to 30 days after the last administration of Synagis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pediatric Participants at High Risk of RSVPediatric participants at high risk of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in need of the prevention of serious lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV were prescribed Synagis prophylaxis in usual practice according to the approved Korean product label. The decision to prescribe or not to prescribe Synagis was taken prior to a participant's enrollment in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE was an event that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization, resulted in congenital anomaly or persistent or significant disability, important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome, or a spontaneous or elective abortion. AEs considered to be related to Synagis were classified as ADRs. The causality of ADRs were assessed by the investigator as 'Probable,' 'Possible' and 'others (unknown). 'Unexpected' AEs are those that are unlabeled.

    Measured: From the time of informed consent until 30 days after the final administration of Synagis, an expected average of 6 months from the start of Synagis

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) (time frame: From the time of informed consent until 30 days after the final administration of Synagis, an expected average of 6 months from the start of Synagis). 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.
