Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety Study of Levocetirizine Oral Solution for Japanese Pediatrics (NCT NCT01563081)

NCT ID: NCT01563081

Last Updated: 2017-02-28

Results Overview

A non-serious AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant/clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected benefits (i.e., lack of efficacy), abuse, or misuse. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a possible drug-induced liver injury. For a list of all SAEs/non-serious AEs occurring at a frequency of \>=5%, please see the SAE/non-serious AE module of this record.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: First day of treatment; Weeks 1 and 2/Early Withdrawal

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): all participants, excluding those with any major good clinical practice deviation, those who did not meet the primary criteria for enrollment, those who received no dose of study medication, and those with no data after supply of the investigational product

The investigator or sub-investigator made an overall assessment of nasal symptoms (allergic rhinitis \[AR\]) and pruritus associated with skin diseases (PAWSD) at Weeks 1 and 2 (or at the discontinuation day in the case of early withdrawal \[EW\] from the clinical trial) by asking the participants' legal representatives to provide feedback using the following scale: 1, significantly improved; 2, moderately improved; 3, mildly improved; 4, no change; 5, mildly worse; 6, moderately worse; 7, significantly worse. Only those participants with AR and PAWSD at Baseline were assessed for improvement in the conditions at Weeks 1 and 2. The "n"s in the category titles reflect the number of participants in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) who had AR and PAWSD at Baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 1 and 2/Early Withdrawal

Population: Pharmacokinetic Concentration Population: all participants who underwent blood sampling, who provided data at the time of the last dose and the time of blood sampling, and who provided valid drug concentrations

Cmax is defined as the peak plasma concentration of a drug after administration. Cmin is defined as the lowest (trough) concentration that a drug reaches before the next dose is administered. For both age cohorts, blood samples were collected 1.5-2.5 hours after the last drug administration for assessment of Cmax at either Week 1 or 2/EW. For participants in the \>=6 months and \<12 months cohort, blood samples were collected 22.5-25.5 hours after the last drug administration for Cmin at a different visit from Cmax sampling. For participants in the \>=12 months and \<24 months cohort, blood samples were collected 10.5-13.5 hours after the final drug administration for Cmin at a different visit from Cmax sampling. For all participants, if Cmin sampling occurred at Week 1, then Cmax sampling occurred at Week 2/EW, and vice versa.
