About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Multinational Trial of Intravenous Telavancin Versus Vancomycin for Treatment of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia With a Focus on Patients With Infections Due to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

Study 0019 (NCT00124020) compares the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, telavancin, with vancomycin for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Response

    Clinical Response: Categorical (Cured, Failed or Indeterminate)

    • Failure - at least one of the following:
    • Persistence or progression of signs and symptoms of pneumonia that still require antibiotic therapy
    • Termination of study med due to "lack of efficacy"
    • Death on or after Day 3 attributable to primary infection
    • Cure: Signs and symptoms of pneumonia improved to the point that no further antibiotics for pneumonia were required, and baseline radiographic findings improved or did not progress.
    • Indeterminate: Inability to determine outcome

    Measured: 7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Telavancin and Vancomycin in people with Bacterial Pneumonia, run by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Israel. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 1 Feb 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 (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 NCT00124020, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
