About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label Comparative Study Of Azithromycin Extended Release (ZMAX) Versus Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Potassium In Subjects With Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS) In A Physician Practice Environment
This study will enroll patients with Bacterial Sinusitis who will be treated with either Zmax (Azithromycin Extended Release) or Augmentin (Amoxicillin/Clavulanate). The purpose of the study is to compare early resolution of symptoms between the two treatments. Patients will report resolution of their sinusitis symptoms through a daily questionnaire. There will be two follow-up telephone interviews on days 12 and 28 to evaluate quality of life, satisfaction with therapy, and use of healthcare services.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Azithromycin Extended Release and Amoxicillin/Clavulanate in people with Sinusitis, run by Pfizer.
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 13 inclusion and 3 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 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 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?
Patient reported symptom resolution at day 5. 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 16 Mar 2010.
