About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-centre, Single Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Zanamivir in the Treatment of Hospitalized Patients With Confirmed Influenza Infection (NAI115215)

This study will be an open-label, multi-center, single arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IV zanamivir 600mg twice daily for 5 days in hospitalized subjects with laboratory confirmed influenza infection.

Read the detailed description

Adult subjects and adolescent subjects (≥50 kg) with normal renal function will receive 600mg per dose. Subjects with renal impairment will receive an adjusted dose based on calculated creatinine clearance. The initial 5 day treatment course may be extended for up to 5 additional days if viral shedding is determined to be ongoing or if clinical symptoms warrant further treatment with IV zanamivir.

The study duration is approximately 28 days for subjects whose treatment duration is 5 days, and up to approximately 33 days for subjects whose treatment duration is extended to a maximum of 10 days. The study will consist of Pre-dose Baseline Assessments (Day 1), During Treatment Assessments (Days 1 to 5, and up to Day 10), and Follow-up Assessments on the following days: Post-Treatment +2, +5, +9, +16 and +23 Days. For subjects who have been discharged from hospital, the Post-Treatment +2, +5, +9 and +16 Days Assessments can be made by telephone contact.

    Virologic improvement was defined as a 2 log drop in viral load or sustained undetectable viral ribonucleic acid (RNA), on 2 successive occasions as measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from nasopharyngeal samples. Assessment was done from Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 33 (follow-up)

  14. Percentage of Participants With Undetectable Viral RNA and Absence Cultivable Virus From Samples Obtained From Nasopharyngeal Samples Over Period

    Quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative viral culture was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected from Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization of the participants. Undetectable RNA concentrations were below the level of quantification.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 33 (follow-up)

  15. Percentage of Participants With Undetectable Viral RNA and Absence of Cultivable Virus in Lower Respiratory Samples Over Period

    Quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative viral culture was carried out on lower respiratory samples (endotracheal aspirates) collected on Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization. Endotracheal aspirates were used in participants who were intubated. Undetectable RNA concentrations were below the level of quantification.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 33 (follow-up)

  16. Median Time to no Detectable Viral RNA by Quantitative RT-PCR and Viral Culture From Nasopharyngeal Samples Over Period

    Quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative viral culture was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected on Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 33 (follow-up)

  17. Mean Change From Baseline in Quantitative Viral Load Measured by RT-PCR From Nasopharyngeal Swabs Positive at Baseline Over Period

    Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected on Day 1 up to Day 33 (last day) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization. The baseline assessments were referred to assessments at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the indicated time point minus the Baseline value. Analysis was done for participants with positive Influenza A RNA and Influenza B RNA. Data is presented for Day 3, Day 5 and last day.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up)

  18. Mean Change From Baseline in Quantitative Viral Load Measured by Viral Culture From Nasopharyngeal Swabs Over Period

    Quantitative viral culture as 50 % tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) defined as median tissue culture infective dose is that amount of a pathogenic agent that produces pathological change in 50% of cell cultures inoculated. It was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected on Day 1 up to Day 33 (last day) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization. The baseline assessments were referred to assessments at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the indicated time point minus the Baseline value. Any undetectable viral load values were calculated as x.x Log10 TCID50: x.x Log10 (1.5 or 7.5 was the lower or upper limit of quantification in TCID50). Data is presented for Day 3, Day 5 and last day.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 33 (follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Intravenous (IV) zanamivir in people with Influenza, Human, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 7 sites in Japan.

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 13 inclusion and 14 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 22 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Feb 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE), Drug-related AE, Grade 3 and Grade 4 AE, Grade 3 and 4 Drug-related AE , AE Leading to Discontinuation of Study Drug or From Study, Serious AE (SAE), Drug-related SAE, Fatal AE and Drug-related Fatal AE (time frame: Start of treatment (Day 1) up to follow-up (Day 33)). The study lists 24 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01527110, 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 22 Feb 2018.
