A Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic and Safety Evaluation of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for the Treatment of Children Less Than 24 Months of Age With Confirmed Influenza Infection (CASG 114)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for Influenza. Completed, enrolled 87 participants across 32 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed 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.

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.
