Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to show whether Veronate, a donor-selected staphylococcal human immune globulin intravenous (IGIV), can prevent an infection in the blood caused by staphylococcal bacteria in premature babies weighing between 500 and 1250 grams at birth. Babies are enrolled between Day of Life 3 and 5. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center Clinical Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Veronate® Versus Placebo for the Prevention of Nosocomial Staphylococcal Sepsis in Premature Infants (Birth Weight 500 - 1250 g)

The purpose of this study is to show whether Veronate, a donor-selected staphylococcal human immune globulin intravenous (IGIV), can prevent an infection in the blood caused by staphylococcal bacteria in premature babies weighing between 500 and 1250 grams at birth.

Babies are enrolled between Day of Life 3 and 5. Babies are randomized to either Veronate or placebo (50-50 chance of either). Babies can receive up to 4 doses of the study drug on Study Days 1, 3, 8 and 15 and are followed until Study Day 70 or discharge from the hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the efficacy of Veronate® compared to placebo in preventing nosocomial S. aureus sepsis in premature infants

  2. To assess the safety profile of Veronate® compared to placebo in premature infants as measured by frequencies of adverse events, serious adverse events and morbidities associated with prematurity

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To compare the proportions of infants with nosocomial coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) sepsis between premature infants treated with Veronate® versus placebo

  2. To compare the proportions of infants with all nosocomial staphylococcal sepsis between premature infants treated with Veronate® versus placebo

  3. To compare the proportions of infants with nosocomial candidemia between premature infants treated with Veronate® versus placebo

  4. To compare mortality between premature infants treated with Veronate® versus placebo
