About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Intrapulmonary and Plasma Concentrations of Telithromycin and Azithromycin in Healthy Adult Subjects

The major objectives of this research are to see how much, and for how long, telithromycin and azithromycin get into the fluids and cells of the lung.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this descriptive study is to determine and compare the plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophage (AM) concentrations following multiple oral doses of telithromycin and azithromycin in healthy, non-smoking adult subjects.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TelithromycinDrug

    Also called Ketek

    800 mg once a day for 5 days

  • azithromycinDrug

    Also called Zithromax

    500 mg on day 1, and then 250 mg once-daily on days 2 through 5

  • bronchoalveolar lavageProcedure or surgery

    Also called Bronchoscopy with BAL

    One bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage with each drug administration

  • TelithromycinDrug

    Also called Ketek

    Telithromycin 800 mg once a day

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. How long does the study antibiotics get into the fluids and cells of the lung.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Telithromycin, azithromycin and bronchoalveolar lavage in people with Healthy, run by University of Illinois Chicago at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2009. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Sanofi-Aventis wanted the study terminated.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Plasma and intrapulmonary drug concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Feb 2009.
