Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of two dose levels of levalbuterol compared with one dose level of racemic albuterol in pediatric subjects aged birth to 48 months old.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group trial of levalbuterol in pediatric subjects presenting with acute reactive airways disease. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc. was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A

Low dose levalbuterol (0.15 mg, 0.31 mg or 0.63 mg); the first three doses will be delivered every 20 minutes for the first hour. Up to three additional doses may be given every 40 minutes thereafter. Additional doses may be administered at the investigator's discretion.

Period II: Double blind, active-treatment period following discharge from the Emergency Department or Physician's Office. Subject will receive TID double-blind dosing. Period III: Double blind, active-treatment period following Visit 2. Subjects will receive double-blind dosing at the discretion of the investigator (PRN to TID).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Levalbuterol HCl Inhalation Solution

Intervention Type DRUG

Nebulized unit dose vial for inhalation, low dose (0.15 mg, 0.31 mg or 0.63 mg), adjusted for body weight

B

High dose levalbuterol (0.31 mg, 0.63 mg or 1.25 mg); the first three doses will be delivered every 20 minutes for the first hour. Up to three additional doses may be given every 40 minutes thereafter. Additional doses may be administered at the investigator's discretion.

Period II: Double blind, active-treatment period following discharge from the Emergency Department or Physician's Office. Subject will receive TID double-blind dosing. Period III: Double blind, active-treatment period following Visit 2. Subjects will receive double-blind dosing at the discretion of the investigator (PRN to TID).
