About this study

This post marketing observational study (PMOS) was conducted in Japan during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) seasons to assess the safety and effectiveness of palivizumab for the prevention of serious lower respiratory tract infection caused by RSV in participants 24 months of age and under, who have an immunocompromised medical condition (e.g., combined immunodeficiency disease, antibody deficiency, or other types of immunodeficiency; HIV infection; recovering from organ or bone marrow transplantation; on chemotherapy; on high-dose corticosteroid therapy; on immunosuppressants) or who have Down syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Palivizumab was prescribed according to the local label and independently of the decision to enroll participants in the study. Palivizumab was administered monthly throughout the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection seasons via intramuscular injection at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight. Survey forms were collected after the observation period. The number of adverse events and the frequency of hospitalizations due to RSV infections in surveyed participants were assessed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of palivizumab.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with their treatment. Adverse events were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    A serious adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant that the investigator believed to be causally related to the study treatment and met at least one of the following criteria: death, life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome. Serious adverse events were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with their treatment. If a causal relationship with palivizumab was: "Related", "Causality cannot be ruled out", or "Not assessable" as determined by the investigator, it was classified as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). An AE was considered a serious adverse event (SAE) and a serious adverse drug reaction (SADR) if the severity of the AE or ADR was any one of the following, as determined by the investigator: "Death", "Life-threatening condition", "Hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization", "Persistent or significant disability", or "Other medically important condition". Information about AEs and ADRs was documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRI) Score During the Study

    The Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRI) Score ranged from 0 (well or baseline); 1 (Upper Respiratory tract Infection [URI]), mild); 2 (LRI); 3 (LRI, moderate); 4 (LRI, severe) to 5 (Respiratory Failure). Components of the score included respiratory rate per minute, oxygen saturation, and physical findings of LRI. LRI scores were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab up to the last administration of palivizumab, up to 36 weeks

  2. Number of Participants Hospitalized Due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection

    Hospitalization due to RSV infection or the presence/absence of positive RSV antigen test results during hospitalization was documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

  3. Mean Hospitalization Length Due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection

    The date of hospitalization due to RSV infection and the date of hospital discharge were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

  4. Number of Hospitalized Participants Requiring Respiratory Support

    The presence/absence of respiratory support, (oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, continuous positive airway pressure, and other mechanical respiratory support or Intensive Care Unit admission) the start and end dates of respiratory support, and the dates of hospitalization and discharge were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

  5. Mean Duration of Respiratory Support

    The presence/absence of respiratory support (oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, continuous positive airway pressure, and other mechanical respiratory support or Intensive Care Unit admission) and the start and end dates of respiratory support were documented on the case report form (CRF).

    Measured: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, run by AbbVie.

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 3 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 20 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2017). 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 Adverse Events (time frame: From the first administration of palivizumab to 30 days after the last administration of palivizumab, up to 44 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Mar 2017.
