Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetic parameters of chlorpheniramine in children and adolescents.

Detailed Description

This is a single-group, single-center, open-label, one period, bioavailability study. This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of chlorpheniramine in a population of children aged 2 to \<12 yrs and adolescents aged 12 to \<18 yrs. Twelve blood samples (3.0 mL) for chlorpheniramine analysis will be drawn at time 0 (pre-dose), and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing. Plasma levels of chlorpheniramine will be determined. The following primary, single-dose PK parameters for chlorpheniramine will be determined using noncompartmental methods: AUCL, AUCI, and Cmax. The following PK parameters will also be determined to provide a complete profile of the drug, as appropriate: oral clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (Vd) and adjusted for body weight (per kg); time to reach Cmax (tmax), and apparent elimination constant (Kel) and half-life (t1/2). The PK parameters will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

Inclusion Criteria

•Individuals may be enrolled in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:
•1. Males or females between 2 to \<18 yrs of age with a minimum weight of 24 pounds and within the 5th and 95th percentiles in physical growth characteristics (i.e., height and weight) and BMI based on age and gender,
•2. Symptomatic or asymptomatic children/adolescents as follows:
•i.A prior diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and either symptomatic or asymptomatic at the time of entry in the study; or ii.Symptoms of an acute Upper Respiratory Infection (URI); or iii.No symptoms of an acute URI, but at risk for developing an acute URI as evidenced by the following frequency, crowding, and exposure criteria:
•Frequency: a history of frequent URIs defined as \>6 infections/yr for children aged 2 to \<6 yrs and as \>4 infections per year for adolescents aged 6 to \<18 yrs;
•Crowding: living in a home with ≥4 persons, or sleeping in the same bedroom with ≥3 persons;
•Exposure: the presence of another family member in the household who is ill with a URI, or a child in the family that is attending preschool, or attending school with ≥6 children in the class; c.Except for allergic rhinitis or a URI, children/adolescents are in normal physical health (i.e., no clinically significant systemic disease) as judged by the Investigator upon physical examination of the subject; d.Subjects do not require concomitant medication except for low-dose inhaled glucocorticoids for allergic rhinitis or mild concomitant asthma, if dose is stabilized before entry in the study (i.e., dose is not changed for one month prior to or during the study), and inhaled short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonists for concomitant asthma, as needed; e.Post menarchal females must be using a reliable method of contraception (i.e., oral, transdermal, injectable or implanted contraceptives, IUD, cervical cap, diaphragm, condom, abstinence, or surgical sterility); f.Parent/guardian/adolescent provides written informed consent and child provides assent, if age appropriate.

Exclusion Criteria

•1. The child/adolescent weighs \<24 pounds or is below the 5th or above the 95th percentiles in physical growth characteristics (i.e., height and weight) and BMI based on age and gender;
•2. Inability to swallow the medication;
•3. Eaten within 2 hours prior to dosing;
•4. A known hypersensitivity to CHLOR, any other antihistamine, or EMLA® cream;
•5. Systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure at or above the 95th percentile based on gender, and age and height percentiles. (Note: If a subject with no history of hypertension has a blood pressure reading at or above the 95th percentile, the subject will be allowed to rest for 15 minutes and the blood pressure measurement repeated. Up to 3 consecutive measurements at approximately 5 min intervals will be allowed. Subjects who continue to have systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure readings at or above the 95th percentile will be excluded from the study);
•6. History of melena or any hepatic, renal, endocrine (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disorder), cardiac, neurological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, hematological or metabolic disorder deemed to be clinically significant by the Investigator;
•7. Any serious medical condition or medical history felt by the Investigator to place them at increased risk;
•8. The child is diagnosed with anemia or has a red blood cell count or hemoglobin level outside of normal range as evidenced by baseline hematology assessment;
•9. Asthma symptoms at the time of entry in the study or requires medication other than allowed under Inclusion Criterion d;
•10. Failure to comply with appropriate washout periods for any H-1 receptor antagonist treatment before and during the study, i.e., no use within 7 days of entering the study or at any time during the study, and no use of astemizole within the preceding 3 calendar months;
