| Description | |
|---|---|
| Part A (Single-dose of Famciclovir) | Includes 27 patients enrolled in Part A. Two adolescent patients (13 to 18 years) were enrolled in Part A of this study under an amendment to the protocol to include adolescent aged patients. The amendment was rescinded in compliance with an FDA Pediatric Written Request and no further adolescent aged patients were enrolled. |
| Part B (Multiple-dose of Famciclovir) | Includes 47 patients enrolled in Part B. Part B started only after pharmacokinetic (PK) data from Part A had been analyzed. One patient that participated in Part A of the study also participated in Part B. |

Baseline Characteristics
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Part A (Single-dose of Famciclovir) | Each patient in Part A received a single dose of famciclovir (12.5 mg/kg). |
| Part B (Multiple-dose of Famciclovir) | Each patient in Part B received famciclovir twice a day (b.i.d.) approximately 12 hours apart for 7 days for a total of 14 doses. An 8-step dosing scheme (ranged from 150 mg b.i.d. to 500 mg b.i.d.) was used to determine the weight-based adjusted daily dose. |

Outcome Measures
| 1. Primary: | Safety and Tolerability of a Single-dose of Famciclovir in Part A of the Study. [ 8 hours and 24 hours after study drug administration (Part A) ] |
| 2. Primary: | Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of Penciclovir (Cmax) [ plasma level measurements: pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose ] |
| 3. Primary: | Time of Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of Penciclovir (Tmax) [ Plasma level measurements: pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose ] |
| 4. Primary: | Area Under the Penciclovir Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞) [ Plasma level measurements: pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose ] |
| 5. Primary: | Apparent Oral Clearance of Penciclovir (CL/F) [ Plasma level measurements: pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose ] |
| 6. Primary: | Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life of Penciclovir (T1/2) [ Plasma level measurements: pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose ] |
| 7. Primary: | Safety and Tolerability of Famciclovir Pediatric Oral Formulation in Part B of the Study. [ Administered 2 times daily over 7 days ] |
| 8. Secondary: | Overall Acceptability of Pediatric Oral Formulation by Patients in Part A of the Study. [ Immediately after dose administration and 2-5 minutes later ] |
| 9. Secondary: | Overall Acceptability of Pediatric Oral Formulation by Patients in Part B of the Study. [ Day 1 at clinic: after swallowing first dose ] |
| 10. Secondary: | Overall Acceptability of Pediatric Oral Formulation by Patients in Part B of the Study [ Day 8 at home: after swallowing last dose ] |
