About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Activity, Clinical Outcomes, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Lumicitabine (JNJ-64041575) Regimens in Hospitalized Infants and Children Aged 28 Days to 36 Months Infected With Respiratory Syncytial Virus
The purpose of this study is to determine in hospitalized infants and children who are infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 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).
Read the detailed description
RSV is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants. Most infants and children who get RSV recover fully after 1-2 weeks, but RSV infection can sometimes worsen and may lead to hospitalization and admission into an intensive care unit. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well the study drug (lumicitabine, also known as JNJ-64041575 or ALS-008176) works, how the human body handles the study drug, which dose of the study drug is effective for treatment of RSV infection in infants/children and how safe it is compared to a placebo (placebo looks just like lumicitabine [given in same way] but has no effect against RSV). Approximately up to 180 participants aged between 28 days to 36 months and hospitalized with RSV infection will take part in this world-wide study.

- Respiratory Syncytial Viruses

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Viral Load

Secondary outcomes (38)
Number of Participants With Emergent Adverse Event
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. All AEs reported during treatment or follow-up were considered emergent and were included in the analysis.
Measured: Up to 28 days

Number of Participants With Emergent Clinical Relevant Vital Signs Abnormalities
The number of participants with emergent clinically relevant vital signs (temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation) abnormalities that emerged after treatment initiation reported. An abnormality was considered emergent in a particular phase if it is worse than baseline. If baseline is missing, the abnormality is always considered as emergent. A shift from 'abnormally low' at baseline to 'abnormally high' post baseline (or vice versa) was also emergent.
Measured: Up to 28 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Lumicitabine in people with Respiratory Syncytial Viruses, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 29 sites in 6 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 6 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 23 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 29 sites in Japan, United States, Hungary, Poland, Belgium and 1 more country. 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 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 5 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?
Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Viral Load (time frame: Day 1 to 7: Predose, 0.25 and 2 hours postdose). 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 NCT03333317, 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 23 Dec 2019.
