Safety and Pharmacology of Stanate

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hyperbilirubinemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00115544
Lead Sponsor
InfaCare Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Mallinckrodt Company
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect and safety of Stanate (stannsoporfin) in infants who are at risk for an exchange transfusion and meet the criteria of the protocol.

Detailed Description

The present study evaluated the relationship between Stanate® dose, drug safety, and efficacy in a non randomised sequential open label cohort design, in 55 patients. Subjects were term and near term infants at medium or high risk of hyperbilirubinemia with TSB levels approaching the threshold for exchange transfusion. The first cohort began at a dose of stannsoporfin 0.75 mg/kg of birth weight intramuscularly. The dose was then increased to 1.5 mg/kg for cohort 2, and saline was given (placebo) for cohort 3. Safety evaluations consisted of hepatic, renal and hematologic clinical laboratory tests along with serial physical examinations. Long term follow up of all patients to age 6 is planned.
