Use Of Tecovirimat (TPOXX®) For Treatment Of Human Orthopoxvirus Infections

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this expanded access IND treatment program is to provide tecovirimat for primary or early empiric treatment of confirmed or suspected (based on clinical signs and symptoms with known exposure while laboratory confirmation may be pending) non-variola orthopoxvirus infections (e.g., vaccinia, monkeypox, cowpox or other human virus infection identified as an orthopoxvirus) and secondary treatment of complications from replication competent vaccinia vaccine in adults and children.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

***Clinical/Expanded Use of an Investigational Product (Non-Research)***

Tecovirimat Eligibility:

All patient populations, who meet eligibility criteria, can receive tecovirimat treatment under this IND program (e.g., children and all adults including pregnant and nursing individuals, and prisoners). Clinical considerations of tecovirimat therapy during an outbreak may evolve depending on the duration and nature of the outbreak and event-based information that may become available during the outbreak. For up-to-date interim clinical guidance for treatment of monkeypox during the current 2022 monkeypox outbreak, please refer to CDC website at: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/treatment.html#anchor_1655488137245.

  • People with severe disease (e.g., hemorrhagic disease, confluent lesions, sepsis, encephalitis, or other conditions requiring hospitalization).
  • People who may be at high risk of severe disease:
    • People with immunocompromise (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome infection, leukemia, lymphoma, generalized malignancy, solid organ transplantation, therapy with alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, high-dose corticosteroids, being a recipient with hematopoietic stem cell transplant < 24 months post-transplant or ≥ 24 months but with graft-versus-host disease or disease relapse, or having autoimmune disease with immunodeficiency as a clinical component);
    • Pediatric populations, particularly patients younger than 8 years of age;
    • People with a history or presence of atopic dermatitis, persons with other active exfoliative skin conditions (e.g., eczema, burns, impetigo, varicella zoster virus infection, herpes simplex virus infection, severe acne, severe diaper dermatitis with extensive areas of denuded skin, psoriasis, or Darier disease [keratosis follicularis]);
    • Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
    • People with one or more complications (e.g., secondary bacterial skin infection; gastroenteritis with severe nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration; bronchopneumonia; concurrent disease or other comorbidities).
  • People with monkeypox virus aberrant infections that include accidental implantation in eyes, mouth, or other anatomical areas where monkeypox virus infection might constitute a special hazard (e.g., the genitals or anus).

Tecovirimat Ineligibility:

  • Patient or legally authorized representative unwilling to sign an informed consent and refuse tecovirimat treatment.
  • Known allergy to tecovirimat and/or inactive ingredients in tecovirimat.
  • For IV tecovirimat only: patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30mL/min). Oral tecovirimat is an option for patients with severe renal impairment.
