Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Antiviral Activity of Remdesivir (VEKLURY®) in Hospitalized Children With RSV
Sponsor: PENTA Foundation
Summary
THAI-CARES RSV Study is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with a two-arm, parallel-group design. The study aims to assess the safety, efficacy, and acceptability of a five-day course of Remdesivir (VEKLURY®) in children under two years of age who are hospitalized with confirmed respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, as determined by either a rapid antigen test or RT-PCR. The primary objectives include evaluating the treatment's safety profile, its ability to significantly reduce RSV replication, and its overall acceptance in this patient population.
Official title: A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Antiviral Activity and Acceptability of Remdesivir (VEKLURY®) in Hospitalized Children Aged 0 to Less Than 2 Years With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Associated Lower Respiratory Tract Infection.

Remdesivir
Remdesivir (RDV) has shown potent antiviral activity against RSV A in an animal model. Remdesivir has been also shown to be a safe treatment option in pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Based on previous clinical evidence and preclinical data, to address the unmet medical need for safe and effective RSV therapy, this study is being conducted to investigate remdesivir in infants and children (aged 0 days to \<2 years) as a potential treatment for RSV infection.
