About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multinational Trial of Intravenous Telavancin Versus Standard Therapy for Treatment of Complicated Gram Positive Skin and Skin Structure Infections (Gram Positive cSSSI)

Serious infections caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more of a medical problem throughout the world. One of the ways to deal with this problem is to develop new drugs that can control these bacteria. This study will measure how well TD-6424 (Telavancin) can control infections and whether this drug can be safely given to patients.

Conditions: Infections, Gram-Positive Bacterial, Abscess, Burns, Cellulitis, Ulcer, Wound Infections
Being tested: Telavancin, Vancomycin or antistaphylococcal penicillin
Medical subject headings: Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections, Abscess, Burns, Cellulitis, Ulcer, Wound Infection

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Clinical Response Which is Measured at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population
- Cure: Resolution of clinically significant signs, symptoms associated with the skin infection present at study admission or improvement to the extent that the infectious process had been controlled and no further therapy with study medication was necessary.
- Failure: Inadequate response to study therapy or the need for significant surgical management (e.g. more than just routine debridement) of the infection site following antibiotic therapy and prior to the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit.
- Indeterminate: Inability to determine outcome.
Measured: 7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jan 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Response Which is Measured at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population (time frame: 7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00061633.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
