NCT00391768

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn how to treat influenza in children less than 2 years of age. Tamiflu®, the drug being studied, is approved for treatment of children 1 year of age and older with influenza. Researchers want to learn more about the activity of Tamiflu® in the body to determine a dose of that is safe, well-tolerated, and effective in young children with influenza. Children less than 24 months of age with confirmed influenza will receive Tamiflu® 2 times a day for 5 days. Older participants will be enrolled first and younger children will be enrolled after the safety data is reviewed for older participants. Study procedures include blood samples, swabs from inside the nose, and body and nervous system evaluations. Participants may be involved in study related procedures for up to 37 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Oseltamivir Carboxylate AUC12 (Area Under the Curve).

    The oseltamivir carboxylate AUC12 was derived from a series of five blood draws over 10 to 12 hours.

    Day 3 of drug administration

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Overall Reported Adverse Events (AEs) Thought to be Associated With Study Therapy.

    Duration of study, from receipt of the first dose of study drug and continuing through study visit Day 30 plus or minus 3 days.

  • Number and Characteristics of Adverse Events (AEs) Described as Neurological Events.

    Duration of study, from receipt of the first dose of study drug and continuing through study visit Day 30 plus or minus 3 days.

  • Incidence of Treatment Emergent AEs and Drug Related AEs by Cohort and Toxicity Grade

    Duration of study, from receipt of the first dose of study drug and continuing through study visit Day 30 plus or minus 3 days

  • Incidence of Treatment Emergent AEs and Drug Related AEs by Cohort Leading to Discontinuation of Study Medication

    Duration of study, from receipt of the first dose of study drug and continuing through study visit Day 5 plus or minus 1 day

  • Incidence of All Serious Adverse Events by Cohort and System Organ Class (SOC)

    Duration of study, from receipt of the first dose of study drug and continuing through study visit Day 30 plus or minus 3 days

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

oseltamivir (Tamiflu®)

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: oseltamivir (Tamiflu®)

Interventions

Oseltamivir is supplied as a white powder blend for constitution to a suspension. It is supplied in 100 ml amber glass bottles with 30 grams of powder for oral suspension, a plastic adapter, a plastic oral dispenser and a plastic measuring cup. Initially subjects in Cohort I received oseltamivir 30 mg orally twice daily for 5 days. The DSMB recommended on 05-Aug-2009 that weight based dosing of oseltamivir for subjects subsequently enrolled in Cohort I. Based on pharmacokinetic data available as of that date, the initial weight-based dose to be evaluated for Cohort I is 3.5 mg/kg twice a day. Cohort II and Cohort III will receive oseltamivir at 3.0 mg/kg/dose orally twice daily for 5 days. Cohorts IV and V will receive 3.0 mg/kg/dose orally twice daily for 5 days, this dose may be adjusted.

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 23 Months
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed informed consent from parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
  • Age:
  • Cohort I: 12 - 23 mo. Cohort II: 9 - 11 mo. Cohort III: 6 - 8 mo. Cohort IV: 3 - 5 mo. Cohort V: 0 - 2 mo.
  • Confirmed laboratory diagnosis of influenza by viral culture or rapid influenza diagnostic test within 96 hours prior to study enrollment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Concomitant vomiting illness that would preclude ability to take drug.
  • Immunocompromised subject (e.g., malignancy, congenital agammaglobulinemia, HIV).
  • Documented renal impairment (e.g., polycystic renal disease, nephrectomy, renal transplantation, renal agenesis, dialysis requirement, renal failure, nephrotic syndrome at any time prior to enrollment, current receipt of diuretic therapy).
  • Documented hepatic impairment (e.g., congenital hepatitis, biliary atresia, cholelithiasis).
