Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the PK of trazodone after single and repeated doses in patients aged from 2 to = 17 years;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are: - to establish the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamics (PKPD) relationship of trazodone, as assessed by actigraph measures. - to evaluate the concentration-QT internal correlation. - to define the dose rationale in children and adolescents aged from 2 to = 17 years taking into account the therapeutic exposure range in adults. - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of trazodone in children and adolescents aged from 2 to = 17 years. - to assess palatability of trazodone.;Primary end point(s): Primary PK parameters for trazodone after single and repeated oral administration of trazodone will include apparent oral clearance (CL/F), apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) and, absorption rate constant (Ka). Secondary parameters will be derived from model predicted profiles: AUC, Cmax, Cmin, Css, Ctrough, Tmax;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: V1(1st dose), V2 (4th dose) and V3(10th dose) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Pharmacodynamic Parameters: • Exploratory analysis of the data will include correlation between PK parameters (AUC, Css, Cmax) and clinical endpoints (sleep latency time and total sleeping time) as assessed by actigraphy • Exploratory analysis of concentration-QT interval correlation • If data allows, PKPD modelling will be applied to derive relevant parameters, such as potency and maximum effects on sleep latency and total sleep time from baseline levels Safety/Tolerability;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: In the course of the study | — |
