About this study
Official title: A Phase 2b, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Activity, Clinical Outcomes, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Lumicitabine Regimens in Adult Subjects Hospitalized With Respiratory Syncytial Virus
The purpose of this study is to characterize the Pharmacokinetic and to confirm the popPK model derived from healthy volunteers in hospitalized adults who are infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and to determine in adults who are hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection the dose response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral activity based on nasal RSV shedding using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
Read the detailed description
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase, a treatment phase from Day 1 to Day 5/6 (depending on the timing of the loading dose), and a follow-up phase for a total of 28 days post randomization. Participants will have assessments completed at Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28. Depending on discharge date, assessments will be completed either while hospitalized or during outpatient visits. The duration of the participant's participation will be approximately 28 days. The study will be performed in 2 parts. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment groups in part 1, and to one of 3 treatment groups in part 2. Treatment groups will be evaluated for PK and safety after a target of approximately 24 participants have been enrolled in part 1 and before initiating part 2 (approximately 90 participants in part 2). An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be established to monitor the safety of participants and will review data in an unblinded manner on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the participants enrolled in this study and to evaluate whether efficacy objectives are met. The committee will meet periodically to review interim data. Based on the recommendations of the IDMC following interim analyses/reviews, an increase in duration may be implemented.

Least Square Mean Difference (Low and High Dose Lumicitabine Versus Placebo) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Viral Load Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Day 1 to 7 (AUC[1-7])
RSV RNA viral load in log10 copies/milliliter/day (log10 copies/mL/day) was measured in mid-turbinate nasal swabs and in endotracheal samples (obtained from intubated participants or via suction through tracheostomy or other sampling methods) using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Due to early termination of study, the analysis was not conducted as planned. Instead, using the same specification as for the primary analysis, a comparison was made on the AUC(1-7) days of pooled active treatment groups versus pooled placebo. The comparison was done as planned using a mixed model for repeated measures, using all available viral load data of baseline up to and including Day 7. The model computes the AUC at group level based on all available data, taking missing data into account under the missing at random assumption. The table reports the planned difference versus (pooled) placebo. No adjustment for multiplicity was applied.
Measured: Day 1 (Baseline) to 7

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the Pharmacokinetic and to confirm the popPK model derived from healthy volunteers in hospitalized adults who are infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and to determine in adults who are hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection the dose response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral activity based on nasal RSV shedding using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
Detailed description
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase, a treatment phase from Day 1 to Day 5/6 (depending on the timing of the loading dose), and a follow-up phase for a total of 28 days post randomization. Participants will have assessments completed at Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28. Depending on discharge date, assessments will be completed either while hospitalized or during outpatient visits. The duration of the participant's participation will be approximately 28 days. The study will be performed in 2 parts. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment groups in part 1, and to one of 3 treatment groups in part 2. Treatment groups will be evaluated for PK and safety after a target of approximately 24 participants have been enrolled in part 1 and before initiating part 2 (approximately 90 participants in part 2). An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be established to monitor the safety of participants and will review data in an unblinded manner on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the participants enrolled in this study and to evaluate whether efficacy objectives are met. The committee will meet periodically to review interim data. Based on the recommendations of the IDMC following interim analyses/reviews, an increase in duration may be implemented.

Least Square Mean Difference (Low and High Dose Lumicitabine Versus Placebo) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Viral Load Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Day 1 to 7 (AUC[1-7])
Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline) to 7
RSV RNA viral load in log10 copies/milliliter/day (log10 copies/mL/day) was measured in mid-turbinate nasal swabs and in endotracheal samples (obtained from intubated participants or via suction through tracheostomy or other sampling methods) using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Due to early termination of study, the analysis was not conducted as planned. Instead, using the same specification as for the primary analysis, a comparison was made on the AUC(1-7) days of pooled active treatment groups versus pooled placebo. The comparison was done as planned using a mixed model for repeated measures, using all available viral load data of baseline up to and including Day 7. The model computes the AUC at group level based on all available data, taking missing data into account under the missing at random assumption. The table reports the planned difference versus (pooled) placebo. No adjustment for multiplicity was applied.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 Dec 2019). 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?
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-63549109 at Day 1 (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Dec 2019.
