About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics of Phenylephrine in Children and Adolescents

To characterize the pharmacokinetics of phenylephrine in two pediatric populations: children, ages 2 to <12 years, and adolescents, ages 12 to <18 years.

Read the detailed description

This study has an open-label, single-dose classical pharmacokinetic design with no comparator treatment or group. At least twenty-four (24) children, ages 2 to <12 years, and twelve (12) adolescents, ages 12 to <18 years, with nasal symptoms due to hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies will complete the study. To ensure that younger children are represented, at least 35% (8) of the 24 children enrolled will range from 2 to <6 years of age.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetic Parameters

    Measured: 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes, and at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 hours after the dose. For children >6, an additional blood sample will be collected at 4.5 hours after dosing

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. For children 5 years and older and adolescents, the total amount of phenylephrine and its metabolites excreted, percent of the administered dose will be estimated from the urine samples along with the formation clearance of each metabolite.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Safety Assessments will consist of monitoring and recording all non-serious Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), their frequency, severity, seriousness, and relationship to the investigational product.

    Measured: throughout duration of the study + 2 days (+30 days for spontaneously reported SAEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing phenylephrine HCl in people with Rhinitis, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Personal Products Worldwide at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic Parameters (time frame: 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes, and at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 hours after the dose. For children >6, an additional blood sample will be collected at 4.5 hours after dosing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00762567, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2011.
