Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and ease of use of subcutaneous (SC) rehydration using HYLENEX-augmented SC infusion of fluids and electrolytes for the rehydration of pediatric patients with mild to moderate dehydration.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Child, 2 months to 10 years of age
  • Body weight less than 42 kg
  • Presenting at emergency department with mild to moderate dehydration (Gorelick dehydration classification: presence of 1 to 6 [of possible 10] moderate or severe signs and symptoms) requiring parenteral rehydration

Exclusion Criteria

  • In shock or life-threatening situation (other than dehydration)
  • Severe dehydration
  • Requires intravenous (IV) therapy for another indication
  • Indwelling IV catheter (excepting one intended strictly for clinical laboratory sample collection)
  • Already received rehydration therapy IV within prior 48 hours or substantial oral fluid immediately before enrollment
  • Condition precluding subcutaneous injection or infusion site evaluation in anterior thigh or other elected infusion site
  • Reason for hospital admission or extended emergency department stay other than dehydration
  • Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase or another ingredient in HYLENEX
  • Hyponatremia or hypernatremia
  • Hypokalemia
  • Medical condition likely to interfere with ability to fully complete study or have protocol-specified assessments
  • Medical history, screening examination finding or historical clinical laboratory result precluding safe participation in study or which might adversely effect interpretation of study results
  • Participated in study of any investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to this study
