Study summary

The purpose of this study will be to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of the Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) IBU 62.5 milligram (mg)/APAP 125 mg per 5 milliliter (mL) suspension in children 6 to 11 years of age, inclusive, to satisfy Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) requirements.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single-center, open-label PK study to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of IBU and APAP from a single oral dose of FDC IBU 62.5 mg/APAP 125 mg per 5 mL liquid suspension in children. Following an overnight fast of at least 8 hours, participants will receive a low-fat breakfast approximately 2.5 hours prior to dosing. The study will enroll approximately 12 children between the ages of 6 and 11 years, inclusive, with the goal of ensuring that at least 10 evaluable participants complete the study.

  • Participants who has participated in other studies (including non-medicinal studies) involving investigational product(s) within 30 days prior to signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF)/assent and/or during study participation.
  • Fever of greater than 38.3°C or if the participant is too ill to participate in the study, at screening and Day 1/Day 1 of the study.

  • Participants with a positive urine drug screen.
  • Investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the Investigator, or Haleon employees, including their family members, directly involved in the conduct of the study.
  • Blood withdrawal as part of research or routine medical care, within 8 weeks of admission to the study site that would exceed 1.36 mL/lbs per 8 weeks period, inclusive of medical care and planned sample collection for this study.
  • Participants with history of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
  • Participants with poor venous access.
  • Participants or participant parent(s)/guardians unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Participants who ate or drank grapefruit or grapefruit-related citrus fruits (e.g., Seville oranges, pomelos) from 2 weeks prior to dosing until collection of the final PK blood sample will be excluded as it could interfere with acetaminophen disposition.
  • Pregnant female participants of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy who are unwilling or unable to agree to an acceptable method of contraception for at least 5 weeks prior to the start of the trial, during the trial and for at least 30 days after the last dose of the investigational product.
