versus: Phase 2 Study IV QUZYTTIR™ (Cetirizine Hydrochloride Injection) vs V Diphenhydramine
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is designed to compare the number of infusion reactions to treatment with an anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Taxol® (Paclitaxel) after premedication with intravenous (IV) QUZYTTIR™ cetirizine hydrochloride (HCl) or IV diphenhydramine during first-cycle infusion or re-treatment with an anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Paclitaxel. Re-treatment is defined as re-treatment with an anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Paclitaxel after 6 months or in patients with persistent infusion reactions while on maintenance or retreatment.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This will be a randomized, double-blind exploratory study of IV cetirizine HCl 10 mg/mL versus IV diphenhydramine 50 mg/mL in approximately 34 patients who require premedication for hypersensitivity infusion reactions associated with an anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Paclitaxel. The objectives and purpose of the study will be described to patients presenting at the participating infusion centers. The patients will be randomized to receive either IV cetirizine HCl or IV diphenhydramine.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Hypersensitivity Reactions to Treatment With an Anti-CD20 Antibody or Paclitaxel [During and after anti-CD20 agent or paclitaxel infusion, at 1 and 2 hours after the antihistamine injection, at time of discharge, and up through 1 Month post injection of antihistamine (intervention).]
Compare the number of patients experiencing any infusion reaction events, and the number and percentage of patients experiencing each symptom of infusion reactions (flushing, itching, alterations in heart rate and blood pressure, dyspnea, chest discomfort, acute back or abdominal pain, fever, shaking chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, throat tightening, hypoxia, seizures, dizziness, or syncope) to treatment with anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Paclitaxel after premedication with intravenous (IV) QUZYTTIR™ cetirizine hydrochloride (HCl) or IV diphenhydramine during first-cycle infusion or re-treatment after 6 months or in patients with persistent infusion reactions while on maintenance with anti-CD20 such as Rituxan® (rituximab) or Paclitaxel. The infusion reactions will be evaluated following the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0) definitions of graded infusion reactions.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient Sedation Scores at 1 Hour and 2 Hours Post-injection of Antihistamine (IV Cetirizine HCl or IV Diphenhydramine) and at Discharge. [1 hour, 2 Hours and at discharge]
Patient sedation scores at 1 hour and 2 hours post-injection of antihistamine (IV cetirizine HCl or IV diphenhydramine) and at discharge. The patient sedation scores are assessed on a scale of 0-4, with 0=None and 4=Extremely Severe (Asleep, Cannot Self-Rate). The HCP sedation scores are assessed on a scale of 0-4, with 0=None and 4=Extremely severe.
- Time From Injection to "Readiness for Discharge" [Time to discharge from infusion center]
Describe the distribution of the amount of time spent in the treatment center prior to discharge (time from injection to "Readiness for Discharge").
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Male or female patients who require treatment premedication with an antihistamine for hypersensitivity infusion reactions associated with an anti-CD20, such as Rituxan® (Rituximab) or Paclitaxel, in their first-cycle or re-treatment after 6 months or in patients with persistent infusion reactions while on maintenance or re-treatment.
-
18 years of age or older
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Receipt of an investigational drug or device within the past 30 days.
-

-
Patients in whom an antihistamine may be contraindicated (e.g., narrow angle glaucoma, symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy).
-
Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not tolerate an IV injection of diphenhydramine 50 mg or cetirizine HCl 10 mg.
-

-
Receipt of an H2 antagonist within the past 4 hours, e.g., ranitidine, cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine.
-

-
Inability to provide informed consent.
-
Patients on concomitant P-glycoprotein inhibitors; including antidepressants, antipsychotics (e.g., olanzapine), and benzodiazepines (e.g., alprazolam), as they may cause an increase in sedation.
