Famciclovir Oral Pediatric Formulation in Children 1-12 Years of Age With Varicella Zoster Infection
September 25, 2007 updated by: Novartis
Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Famciclovir Oral Pediatric Formulation in Children 1-12 Years of Age With Varicella Zoster Infection
Varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox in children and shingles in adults.
Chickenpox is usually a self-limiting illness characterized by fever and a rash.
Serious complications can include secondary bacterial infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis.
Anti-viral treatment is not a standard of care in immunocompetent children, but is recommended whenever a risk of complication exists.
This study will evaluate the safety and blood levels of a new formulation of famciclovir in children 1-12 years of age.
