A Retrospective Chart Review to Assess the Safety of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) Compared to Alternate Antiviral Therapy (Amantadine or Rimantadine) Administered to Children Less Than 12 Months of Age With Diagnosed or Suspected Influenza (CASG 113)

NCT00311701 COMPLETED

This retrospective study conducted in Canada and the US involves a chart review to assess the safety of oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) compared to alternate antiviral therapy, amantidine or rimantidine, administered to children less than 12 months of age with diagnosed or suspected influenza. The objectives are to describe the frequency of neurological and all other adverse events possibly related to administration of these antivirals in these infants. Investigators will also compare frequency of adverse events at various doses of oseltamivir in these children. Critical endpoints to be collected include frequency and severity of adverse events, particularly those relating to central nervous system complications. A sub-investigator will travel to each of the participating sites to collect data related to each infant's health prior to becoming ill, health status at time of influenza diagnosis, dosing regimen, reported neurological events post-dosing, and all reported adverse events post-dosing.
