Phase 4 Open Label Study to Determine Pharmacokinetics of Phenylephrine and Pharmacodynamic Effects on BP Via IV Admin of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Inj in Ped Subjects (≥12 to 16 Years of Age) Undergoing Gen and Neuraxial Anesthesia

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose effect of Phenylephrine
Hydrochloride Injection on the treatment of clinically relevant decreased blood pressure in
the pediatric population, ≥12 to 16 year old patients undergoing general and neuraxial
anesthesia.

The secondary objectives are to describe changes in blood pressure and heart rate, time to
onset and to maximal response, and the duration of response; to assess the safety of the
product in this population; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of phenylephrine
hydrochloride.

This is a Phase 4 multi-center, randomized open-label study in 100 subjects aged ≥12 to 16
years who experience a decrease in blood pressure during a procedure requiring general or
neuraxial anesthesia. At least 300 subjects will be enrolled in this study. It is anticipated
that up to 33% of enrolled subjects will actually experience a decrease in blood pressure
that requires treatment and so will receive Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Injection (PHI).
There are 12 possible randomization assignments: one of six initial treatments PHI will be
initially administered to approximately 50 subjects as an intravenous bolus (IV-B) at Low (1
μg/kg), Med (3 μg/kg), or High (5 μg/kg) level; PHI will be initially administered to
approximately 50 subjects as a continuous intravenous infusion (IV-I) at Low (0.25
μg/kg/min), Med (0.75 μg/kg/min), or High (1.25 μg/kg/min) level]; each initial treatment
group will have two pharmacokinetics (PK) sampling schedules.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject's age is between ≥12 and 16 years, inclusive

2. Subject is scheduled for a procedure that requires general or neuraxial anesthesia

3. Subjects must have normal or clinically acceptable physical exam

4. Subjects with controlled diabetes prior to entry must have a mean systolic/diastolic
office blood pressure ≤128/78 mmHg (sitting, after 5 minutes of rest)

5. Females must have a urine or serum pregnancy test (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) that
is negative at Screening and Day 1

6. Subject's parent or legal guardian gives informed consent and subject gives assent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has a contraindication to vasoconstrictor therapy for control of blood
pressure

2. Subject has participated in other clinical trials for investigational drugs and/or
devices within 30 days prior to enrollment

3. Subject has any serious medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator,
is likely to interfere with study procedures

4. Subjects who have a history of any clinically significant local or systemic infectious
disease within four weeks prior to initial treatment administration

5. Subjects who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C antibody

6. Subjects taking antihypertensive medication

7. Subject is moribund (death is likely to occur in less than 48 hours)

8. Females who are pregnant, nursing or unwilling to use/practice adequate contraception.
