简要总结
To evaluate the safety of treatment with levocetirizine oral solution in pediatric patients aged form 6 months to 2 years old with allergic rhinitis or pruritus associated with the skin diseases.
详细描述
This is a multi-center, open-labelled study to confirm the safety as main objective, and consisting of minimum 1-week screening period and 2-week treatment period. The subjects who meet the inclusion criteria are to be placed on one of the following two regimens according to their ages at the start of treatment period: once daily administration of levocetirizine at a dose of 1.25 mg (in the morning) to infants aged between 6 months and 1 year old (younger age group), and twice daily administration of levocetirizine at a dose of 1.25 mg (in the morning, in the evening before sleep) to infants aged between 1 year and 2 years old (older age group).

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Non-serious Adverse Events (AEs)
时间窗: up to Week 2/Early Withdrawal (EW)
A non-serious AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant/clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected benefits (i.e., lack of efficacy), abuse, or misuse. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a possible drug-induced liver injury. For a list of all SAEs/non-serious AEs occurring at a frequency of \>=5%, please see the SAE/non-serious AE module of this record.
