No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (affect the body has on a drug), and pharmacodynamics (affect the drug has on the body) and safety of an experimental intravenous (within a vein) flu medication, peramivir, in children. Participants will include 63 hospitalized children with confirmed flu. Children will be grouped according to age and younger children will not receive drug until safety data from the groups of older children are reviewed. Hospitalized children may receive up to 5 doses of peramivir. Study procedures include: nasal/throat swabs, reporting any experienced side effects, physical examination including assessment of the nervous system, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 28 days.

Cohort II: Peramivir 12 mg/kg IV QD (maximum of 600 mg/day) for 5 days or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first. Cohort III: Peramivir 16 mg/kg QD (maximum of 600 mg/day) for 5 days or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first. Proposed doses for subjects in Cohorts IV, V, VI, and VII are 18, 18, 14 and 12 mg/kg, respectively, IV, QD for 5 days or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
