Efficacy and tolerability of the oral neuraminidase inhibitor peramivir in experimental human influenza: randomized, controlled trials for prophylaxis and treatment.
    Antiviral therapy, 2005, Volume: 10, Issue:8

    Oseltamivir is the only oral neuraminidase inhibitor currently available; we determined the tolerability and antiviral efficacy of oral peramivir for treatment and prophylaxis of experimental human influenza A and B.. 288 susceptible, healthy volunteers (ages 18-45) were inoculated intranasally with A/Texas/36/ 91/H1N1 or B/Yamagata/16/88 virus in four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.. For treatment dosing was initiated at 24 h after inoculation with peramivir doses ranging from 100-800 mg/day for 5 days. For prophylaxis dosing was initiated 24 h before inoculation and continued for 4 days with peramivir doses ranging from 50-800 mg/day.. The primary outcome measure for treatment was quantitative viral detection defined by the area under the curve (AUC) for nasal wash viral titres. For prophylaxis the primary outcome measure was the incidence of virus recovery.. In influenza A treatment, peramivir 400 mg q24h and 200mg q12h, but not lower doses, resulted in significant reductions in viral titre AUC. In influenza B treatment, both 400 and 800/400 mg once daily dose groups reduced AUC values. In influenza A prophylaxis, the percentage of individuals with nasal viral shedding did not differ significantly in the placebo (58%), 50 mg (61%), 200 mg (37%) and 400 mg (31%) dose groups. In influenza B prophylaxis, shedding frequencies were similar in placebo (55%), 200 mg (41%), 400 mg (35%) and 800 mg (47%) dose groups. The drug was well tolerated in all four studies, with nausea and headache being the most common side effects. No drug-resistant variants were detected.. Early treatment with peramivir was associated with significant antiviral effects in experimentally induced influenza in humans. Prophylaxis did not significantly reduce viral shedding. The relatively low blood peramivir concentrations observed may explain the lack of more robust antiviral effects, and parenteral dosing should be studied.

Post-marketing safety and effectiveness evaluation of the intravenous anti-influenza neuraminidase inhibitor peramivir (I): a drug use investigation.
    Journal of infection and chemotherapy : official journal of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy, 2014, Volume: 20, Issue:11

    Peramivir is the only intravenous formulation among anti-influenza neuraminidase inhibitors currently available. Peramivir was approved for manufacturing and marketing in Japan in January 2010. We conducted a drug use investigation of peramivir from October 2010 to February 2012 and evaluated its safety and effectiveness under routine clinical settings. We collected data of 1309 patients from 189 facilities across Japan and examined safety in 1174 patients and effectiveness in 1158 patients. In total, 143 adverse events were observed with an incidence rate of 7.33% (86/1174). Of these, 78 events were adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with an incidence rate of 4.34% (51/1174). The most frequently reported ADRs were diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea, with incidence rates of 1.87% (22/1174), 0.85% (10/1174), and 0.68% (8/1174), respectively. Moreover, no ADR was reported as serious. ADR onset was within 3 days after the start of peramivir administration in 91.0% (71 events) of the 78 ADRs, and ADRs were resolved or improved within 7 days after onset in 96.2% (75 events) of the 78 ADRs. Neither patient characteristics nor treatment factors appeared to significantly affect drug safety. With regard to effectiveness, the median time to alleviation of both influenza symptoms and fever was 3 days, including the first day of administration. The present study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of peramivir under routine clinical settings.
