Pharmacokinetics and Safety Profile of Digoxin in Infants With Single Ventricle Congenital Heart Disease

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) funded this protocol titled "Pharmacokinetics and Safety Profile of Digoxin in Infants with Single Ventricle Congenital Heart Disease", protocol number NICHD-2018-DGX01. The Investigational New Drug (IND) Sponsor and Principal Investigator for this protocol is Christopher P. Hornik, MD, MPH. The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) to represent the Government for this task order is Perdita Taylor-Zapata. The Duke IRB number for this study is Pro00102130. This study employs a central IRB, the WIRB-Copernicus Group (WCG). The c-IRB (WCG) study number is 20190888 / NICHD-2018-DGX01. This is a prospective, multicenter Phase 1 study with a primary objective to characterize the pharmacokinetics of enteral digoxin in infants with single ventricle congenital heart disease. The secondary objective is to determine the safety profile of enteral digoxin in infants with single ventricle congenital heart disease. Digoxin is used for the treatment of heart failure in pediatric patients and acts by controlling numerous functions of the cardiovascular system. Digoxin use in single ventricle congenital heart disease may decrease interstage mortality. The study will be conducted in approximately 48 subjects at approximately 13 investigational centers. The proposed duration of the study is approximately 196 (±) days. Please see the protocol and synopsis for more information.
