A Study of Intravenous and Oral Isavuconazonium Sulfate in Pediatric Patients

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Hematological Malignancy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03241550
Lead Sponsor
Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of multiple doses of intravenous (IV) and oral isavuconazonium sulfate administered daily in pediatric patients. The PK data will be utilized to establish a pediatric population PK model of isavuconazole, the active moiety of isavuconazonium sulfate.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Subject has familial short QT syndrome, is receiving medications that are known to shorten the QT interval, or has a clinically significant abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG).

  • Subject has evidence of hepatic dysfunction defined as:

    • Total bilirubin ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • Alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase ≥ 5 times the ULN
    • Known cirrhosis or chronic hepatic failure
  • Subject has used strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors or inducers such as ketoconazole, rifampin/rifampicin, long acting barbiturates, carbamazepine and St. John's wort in the 5 days prior to the first administration of study drug.

  • Subject has known history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or any serious reaction to any of the azole class antifungals.

  • Subject has any condition which makes the subject unsuitable for study participation.

  • Subject is unlikely to survive 30 days.

  • Subject has received investigational therapy, with the exception of oncology drug trials, within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening.

  • For oral cohorts: The subject has gastrointestinal disease or has had a procedure that is expected to interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of the study drug (e.g., functionally relevant gastrointestinal obstruction, mucositis/stomatitis, or frequent vomiting).

  • Subject previously dosed with isavuconazonium sulfate.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PK of isavuconazole in plasma: t 1/2Up to 28 days

Half-life (t1/2) will be model-derived.

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: Cmax at steady stateUp to 7 days

Maximum concentration at steady state (Cmax) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: tmaxUp to 7 days

Time of maximum concentration (tmax) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: VssUp to 28 days

Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) will be model-derived.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: CtroughUp to 28 days

Concentration - trough level (Ctrough) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: AUCtauUp to 7 days

Area under the concentration time curve from the time of dosing to the start of next dosing interval at multiple dose conditions (AUCtau) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: CLUp to 28 days

Clearance (CL) will be model-derived.

Safety assessed by nature, frequency and severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to 58 days

A TEAE is defined as an Adverse Event (AE) observed after starting administration of the study drug through follow-up. AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Number of patients with TEAE's will be summarized.

Safety assessed by routine 12- lead electrocardiogram (ECG)Up to 28 days

Standard 12-lead ECG recordings will be used for the purposes of safety assessment. A 12-lead, resting ECG is to be recorded. Patients should remain supine for at least 5 minutes prior to all ECGs being performed. The results (normal, abnormal not clinically significant, abnormal clinically significant) are to be recorded.

PK of isavuconazole in plasma: AUCssUp to 28 days

Area under the concentration-time curve at steady state (AUCss) will be model-derived.

Number of patients with vital sign abnormalities and/or adverse eventsUp to 28 days

An abnormality identified during a medical test (e.g. vital signs) should be defined as an AE only if the abnormality meets 1 of the following criteria: induces clinical signs or symptoms; requires active intervention; requires interruption or discontinuation of study drug; or the abnormality or test value is clinically significant.

Number of patients with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse eventsUp to 28 days

An abnormality identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory parameter) should be defined as an AE only if the abnormality meets 1 of the following criteria: induces clinical signs or symptoms; requires active intervention; requires interruption or discontinuation of study drug; or the abnormality or test value is clinically significant.
