E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of AK0529 in infants hospitalised with RSV |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To characterise the single and multiple dose pharmacokinetics of AK0529 in infants hospitalised with RSV.
To determine the antiviral effects in infants hospitalised with RSV by measuring the RSV viral load (VL) area under the curve (AUCElast) in nasal, pharyngeal and tracheal washes / aspirates.
To evaluate the clinical benefit of AK0529 by determination of the RSV Related Signs and Symptom Scores of infants hospitalised with RSV; additional clinical endpoints will be assessed including:
Time to return to participation in usual activities |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female patients of any race or ethnicity with an age adjusted for any prematurity [10] of ≥1 month and ≤24 months.
2. Diagnosis of RSV infection by virological means, which may include rapid diagnostic point of care testing, within 96 hours preceding screening for Part 1 and 72 hours for Part 2.
3. Patient must weigh >3 kg at screening and be within the 10th and 90th percentiles (inclusive) for the patient's age, based on the local child growth standards
4. The parent / legal guardian of the patient must have provided written informed consent for the patient to participate.
5. For patients aged <12 months, and occipito-frontal head circumference (OFHC) within the normal range for age and gender. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. The patient has taken, is currently taking or requires any restricted medications.
2. Patient is known to be HIV-positive (or the mother, if the potential patient is a child aged <6 months).
3. Participation in an investigational drug or device study within 30 days prior to the date of screening.
4. Requires vasopressors or inotropic support at the time of enrolment.
5. Concurrent gastrointestinal conditions that could, in the opinion of the investigator, prejudice absorption of the Investigational Medicinal Product (e.g. protracted vomiting, malabsorption syndrome, a history of necrotising enterocolitis with consequent short gut syndrome).
6. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia or chronic lung disease requiring assisted ventilation at the time of enrolment. However, any ventilation
as the result of RSV illness is acceptable.
7. Diminished ventilatory reserve at risk for hypercapnia (e.g. pulmonary hypoplasia, sequestration syndromes, cystadenomatoid malformation, a history of surgery for diaphragmatic hernia).
8. Left to right shunt meriting corrective therapy.
9. Renal failure including renal anomalies likely to be associated with renal insufficiency (e.g. clinical conditions of renal dysplasia, polycystic renal disease, renal agenesis).
10. Clinical evidence of hepatic decompensation e.g. hepatic disorder with associated coagulopathy or associated encephalopathy).
11. Cerebral palsy with microcephaly, chronic or persistent feeding difficulties or seizures.
12. Symptomatic because of inborn errors of metabolism (e.g. mitochondrial disorders, disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, glycogen storage disorders).
13. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (e.g. congenital agammaglobulinaemia, common variable immunodeficiency, immunosuppressive therapy other than glucocorticoid or monteleukast therapy forming part of care directed by the treating physician).
14. For Part 2 of this study, children with a history of having received palivizumab or any other monoclonal agent directed against RSV in the preceding 120 days. This exclusion criterion does not apply to Part 1.
15. Evidence of active or uncontrolled respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, central nervous system or renal disease unrelated to RSV infection at baseline or any other medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator renders the patient unsuitable for enrolment.
16. A history of epilepsy or seizures including febrile seizures.
17. Allergy to test medication or constituents.
18. Weight less than 10th percentile or greater than 90th percentile for age and gender adjusted for any prematurity.
19. The patient’s parent or legally acceptable representative is an employee of the investigator or the study center, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator of the study center, or any family members of the employees or the investigator.
20. Failure to satisfy the investigator of fitness to participate for any other reason. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Safety and tolerability parameters will be assessed:
Laboratory tests (haematology, chemistry, and urinalysis test results), and changes from Baseline in these parameters, at each predefined time point.
ECG measures summarised by the observed data and changes from Baseline in these parameters, at pre-defined time points.
Vital sign parameters (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate), and changes from Baseline in these parameters, at predefined time points.
Incidence of AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), and withdrawals due to AEs. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
From baseline, evaluations will be made throughout the course of the study, including following discharge from hospital. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Pharmacokinetic parameters for AK0529:
Plasma concentrations, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, geometric mean, median, minimum, and maximum.
AUC0-∞, CL/F, Vc/F and C12 and Cmax.
Population pharmacokinetics (POP-PK) to assess the appropriateness of the selected dose level will be performed using Cmax, AUC0-∞ and C12 for the first three patients enrolled (two on active AK0529), and similarly, with the data for each subsequent patient on active AK0529.
Additional pharmacokinetic parameters may also be derived for patients with extensive PK sample collection.
AUC change of VL from baseline through IMP last administration:
For individual patients with samples obtained from the respiratory tract pre-dose and post-dose in specimens of the same nature e.g. nasal swab, nasopharyngeal aspirate. Based on AUC from baseline to last administration of study medication (Day 5).
To determine RSV genome sequence and determination of RSV genotype, subtype and RSV F gene sequence from the clinical specimens
Additional statistical variables may be determined as appropriate. |

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
