About this study

Official title: INcreased Flow Utilizing Subcutaneously-Enabled Ceftriaxone (INFUSE-Ceftriaxone) Study: A Phase I Study Comparing the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Ceftriaxone Administered Subcutaneously With and Without Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (HYLENEX Recombinant) and Intravenously in Human Volunteers

The objectives of this study are:

  • to establish the safety of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone at different concentrations, with and without HYLENEX recombinant, and to determine the maximum tolerated concentration;
  • and to establish the pharmacokinetic comparability of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone with HYLENEX recombinant to subcutaneous administration without HYLENEX recombinant and to IV administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-t

    Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last measurable concentration (calculated by the linear trapezoidal method)

    Measured: Start of ceftriaxone administration through time of last measureable plasma ceftriaxone concentration

  2. AUC0-inf

    Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated as AUC0-t + Ct/kel (Ct = time of last measurable concentration; kel = terminal elimination rate constant)

    Measured: from the start of ceftriaxone administration to infinity

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cmax

    Maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

    Measured: at the time of the highest measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

  2. Tmax

    Time to maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

    Measured: from start of ceftriaxone administration until time of maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SC HYLENEX and Ceftriaxone and IV Ceftriaxone in people with Healthy, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 2 Dec 2011. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 2 Dec 2011). 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?

AUC0-t (time frame: Start of ceftriaxone administration through time of last measureable plasma ceftriaxone concentration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00493220, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Dec 2011.
