Clinical Trial Summary

Peramivir is the first intravenous neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) available for treatment of uncomplicated influenza in adults. Data from placebo-controlled trials in outpatients have shown antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Although the unmet need for intravenous therapy lies mainly with patients hospitalized with complicated diseases, such data are limited because of feasibility and ethical considerations for placebo-controlled studies.

In this study, the investigators aimed to examine more specifically treatment effects of peramivir in adults hospitalized with influenza-associated lower respiratory tract complications (LRTC). Such findings may have important implications on clinical management.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective was to assess the virologic response of peramivir in influenza-associated lower respiratory tract complications (LRTC). The secondary objective was to assess safety and tolerability. Adults confirmed with influenza by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or immunofluorescence assays during the seasonal peaks of 2011-2014 were assessed for eligibility. Consented individuals were randomized to receive either peramivir 600mg every 24 hourly or 300mg every 12 hourly for 5 days. In subjects not achieving clinical resolution by day 5, the same regimen could be continued until day 10 (virologic results unknown to clinicians).Renal-dosage adjustment, if required, was performed according to protocol.

The study's primary endpoint was change in influenza RNA load over time. The secondary endpoints were viral shedding indicated by culture and RNA negativity at day 5, and drug tolerability.

Additionally, a priori comparisons of these endpoints with historical controls treated with standard courses of oral oseltamivir (75mg bid for 5 days) in the same clinical settings were performed. ;
