What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical response for all microbiologically evaluable and microbiologically modified intent-to-treat subjects at the test-of-cure visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Microbiological response at the subject and pathogen level and evaluation of microbiological data, such as decreased susceptibility, response rates by baseline isolate and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and susceptibility data by isolate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing tigecycline in people with Abdominal Abscess, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 11 sites in China.

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 7 Jul 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 for all microbiologically evaluable and microbiologically modified intent-to-treat subjects at the test-of-cure visit. 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 NCT00136201, which also lists 2 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 7 Jul 2009.
