Severe Influenza clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Early Oseltamivir Carboxylate Low Plasma Concentration in Patients Admitted to Intensive Care for Severe Influenza

OPTIFLU

Start date: December 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction Pandemic and seasonal influenza epidemics can be associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality, especially in patients developing severe influenza pneumonitis with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or the less frequent fulminant myocarditis. Early administration (i.e. in the first 48 hours) of the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir is associated with reduced mortality in patients hospitalized for severe influenza. Early oseltamivir administration, which can only be given orally (or through a nasogastric tube), is thus recommended by the World Health Organization in patients hospitalized for severe influenza, including those requiring intensive care (ICU) admission. However, enteric absorption may be compromised in critically ill patients due to impaired gut function. Hypothesis/Objective The hypothese is that, in patients admitted for severe influenza, early (i.e., measured at the 48th hour of treatment initiation) oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) low plasma concentration would be: 1) associated with a poor prognosis; and 2) detectable by carrying out a paracetamol absorption test (PAT). The main objective of the study is to determine the prognostic impact of early OC low plasma concentration in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for severe influenza. Primary outcome measure: Number of live ventilator-free days at 28-day in patients with versus without OC low plasma concentration.
