Safety Study of a Monoclonal Antibody to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in Children Hospitalized With RSV Infection
- Conditions
- Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prophylaxis
- Interventions
- Biological: MotavizumabOther: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT00192504
- Lead Sponsor
- MedImmune LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of motavizumab (MEDI-524) following a single intravenous dose in children hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
- Detailed Description
This study was designed as a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, serum concentrations, and immunogenicity of a single intravenous dose of motavizumab (MEDI-524) and the effect on the amount of respirtory syncytial virus (RSV) in the respiratory tract (nasopharynx) of otherwise healthy children hospitalized with RSV infection.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To Describe the Mean Trough Serum Concentrations of Motavizumab (MEDI-524) Administered as a Single Intravenous Dose at Day 2 and Day 30 Day 2 and Day 30 Mean trough serum concentrations of motavizumab (MEDI-524) were collected on Day 2 and on Day 30. Serum concentrations of MEDI-524 were analysed using a qualified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
The Occurrence of Increased Toxixity Grade From Baseline as Determined by Laboratory Evaluations From the start of treatment to 30 days after dosing Safety and tolerability of motavizumab (MEDI-524) was measured by the occurrence of increased toxicity grade from baseline as determined by laboratory evaluations (complete blood count, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and urinalysis) at baseline and at each study collection time point following dosing
Number of Subjects Reporting Adverse Events Through 30 Days After Dosing From the start of treatment to 30 days after dosing Safety and tolerability of motavizumab (MEDI-524) was measured by adverse events through 30 days after dosing
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events Through 30 Days After Dosing From the start of treatment to 30 days after dosing Safety and tolerability of motavizumab (MEDI-524) was measured by serious adverse events through 30 days after dosing
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To Describe the Immunogenicity of Motavizumab (MEDI-524) Following a Single IV Dose at Day 30 Day 30 The serum anti-motavizumab antibody titers were measured in subjects on Day 30. Anti-motavizumab antibody assays were performed at MedImmune using a qualified assay.
To Describe the Immunogenicity of Motavizumab (MEDI-524) Following a Single IV Dose at Day 0 Immediately before dosing on Day 0 The serum anti-motavizumab antibody titers were measured in subjects on Day 0 (before dosing). Anti-motavizumab antibody assays were performed at MedImmune using a qualified assay.
