About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tigecycline to Treat Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections (cIAI) in Hospitalized Patients

In light of tigecycline's activity against these resistant bacteria, tigecycline may represent a viable new therapy for complicated intra-abdominal infections.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tigecycline to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections in hospitalized patients. Both the clinical response profile and the microbiological response profile will be assessed. The primary endpoint will be clinical response within the microbiological evaluable population at the test-of-cure assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary efficacy endpoint will be clinical response within the clinically evaluable population at the test-of-cure assessment.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. microbiological response (eradicated, persistence, superinfection, or indeterminate) at the patient level, microbiological response (eradicated, persistence, or indeterminate) at the pathogen level (overall and resistant pathogens) clinical

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing tigecycline in people with Abdominal Abscess, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 12 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 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 1 site in Taiwan. 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 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?

The primary efficacy endpoint will be clinical response within the clinically evaluable population at the test-of-cure assessment.. 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 7 Jul 2009.
