Pharmacokinetic and Safety Trial to Determine the Appropriate Dose for Pediatric Patients With Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis

Overview

The purpose of this trial is to determine the pediatric dose of delamanid that is equivalent to the adult dose already shown to be effective against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Full Title of Study: “Phase 1, Open-label, Multiple-dose, and Age De-escalation Trial to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Delamanid (OPC 67683) in Pediatric Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis Patients on Therapy With an Optimized Background Regimen of Anti-tuberculosis Drugs”

Detailed Description

This trial will investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of delamanid administered for 10 days to pediatric patients aged birth to 17 years who are also on therapy with an optimized background regimen. The purpose of the trial is to determine which dose in pediatric MDR-TB patients will result in delamanid plasma exposure similar to efficacious plasma exposure in adult MDR-TB patients. This is an age de-escalation trial in four groups: Group 1: 12 to 17 years (100 mg BID; n=6) Group 2: 6 to 11 years (50 mg BID; n=6) Group 3: 3 to 5 years (25 mg BID; n=12) Group 4: Birth to 2 years (Dose based on patient's body weight, n=12) – Patients > 10 kg will receive 10 mg BID – Patients > 8 kg and ≤ 10 kg will receive 5 mg BID – Patient ≤ to 8 kg will receive 5 mg QD

Interventions

  • Drug: 100 mg Delamanid
    • 100 mg Delamanid BID for 10 days
  • Drug: 50 mg Delamanid
    • 50 mg Delamanid BID for 10 days
  • Drug: 25 mg Pediatric Formulation Delamanid
    • 25 mg Pediatric Formulation Delamanid BID for 10 days
  • Drug: 10 mg Delamanid Pediatric Formulation
    • Patients > 10 kg will receive DPF 10 mg BID for 10 days
  • Drug: 5 mg Delamanid Pediatric Formulation
    • Patients > 8 kg and ≤ 10 kg will receive DPF 5 mg BID for 10 days Patients ≤ 8 kg will receive DPF 5 mg QD for 10 days
  • Drug: Optimized Background Regimen
    • Selection and administration of the treatment medications (i.e. OBRs) will be based on WHO’s Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB, in conjunction with national TB program guidelines in each country

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Group 1: 12 to 17 years of age
    • Group 1: 100 mg Delamanid BID for 10 days + OBR

    • 50 mg Delamanid BID for 10 days + OBR
  • Experimental: Group 3: 3 to 5 years of age
    • 25 mg Pediatric Formulation Delamanid BID for 10 days + OBR
  • Experimental: Group 4: Birth to 2 years of age
    • Delamanid Pediatric Formulation (DPF) for 10 days + OBR. DPF dose based on patient’s body weight during baseline visit: Patient’s > 10 kg will receive DPF 10 mg BID + OBR Patient’s > 8 kg and ≤ 10 kg will receive DPF 5 mg BID + OBR Patients ≤ 8 kg will receive DPF 5 mg QD + OBR

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Plasma Concentrations
    • Time Frame: Days 1, 2, 10, 11, 13 (Groups 1 and 2 only), 15, 18
    • Plasma concentrations (Cmax, tmax, AUC 0-24h, accumulation ratio, apparent terminal elimination half-life, apparent total clearance) of delamanid and its metabolites on Days 1, 2, 10, 11, 13 (Groups 1 and 2 only), 15, 18.

Secondary Measures

  • Adverse Events
    • Time Frame: 40 Days
    • Number of reported adverse events
  • Safety Summary
    • Time Frame: 40 Days
    • Summary statistics of subjects with clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results, vitals, ECGs
  • Palatability of the Pediatric Formulation
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 10
    • Palatability of the pediatric formulation will be assessed using an age-appropriate visual hedonic scale and clinical assessment for Groups 3 and 4 only.
