A Study of Intravenous Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) in Children With Influenza

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01033734
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and safety of intravenous (iv) Tamiflu (oseltamivir) in 3 cohorts of children, aged 6-12, 3-5 and 1-2 years, with influenza infection. Patients will receive iv Tamiflu therapy for 5 days (10 doses). For patients whose conditions no longer merit continued iv dosing, therapy may be switched to oral Tamiflu to complete their prescribed course of treatment. If medically necessary, iv or oral therapy with Tamiflu may be continued for up to 5 additional days. Anticipated time on study treatment is 5 to 10 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time of the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (Tlast) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir CarboxylateDay 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion
Elimination Rate Constant (ke) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir CarboxylateDay 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion
Participants With Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 5-Fold Change in Neuraminidase Inhibition (NAI) Assay 50 Percent (%) Inhibitory Concentration (IC50) ValuesBaseline, Day 1, 6 and 30

IC50 was defined as the concentration that causes 50% inhibition of viral activity. IC50 values were calculated using NAI assay. The 5-fold change was calculated as either \>=5 times change in the NAI IC50 visit value from the Reference value at a visit, \>=5 times change in the NAI IC50 Visit value from the Baseline value.

Time to the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir CarboxylateDay 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion
Total Clearance of Drug (CL) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir CarboxylateDay 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion
Volume of Distribution (V) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir CarboxylateDay 1: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post start of infusion; Day 2, 3 (with or after fifth dose), 4 or 5: 15 minutes pre-infusion start, 2, 4, 8 hours after start of infusion
