About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Non-Comparative Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of Topical Retapamulin (SB-275833) Ointment, 1%, Twice Daily for Five Days in the Treatment of Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections in Pediatric Subjects Aged 2 to 24 Months

A study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Retapamulin Ointment, 1%, in pediatric subjects (2-24 months) with secondarily-infected traumatic lesions, secondarily-infected dermatoses, or impetigo (bullous and non-bullous).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Measurable Plasma Concentrations, by Age Group

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were collected randomly in the window of 4 to 8 hours post-dose (except one at 3 hours and one at 11 hours post-dose) after the first daily dose of treatment on Day 3 or Day 4. The lower limit of quantification (LLQ) for retapamulin was 0.5 ng/mL.

    Measured: Days 3 to 4; 4 to 8 hours post-dose of the first dose of the day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Success at Follow-up, by Type of Skin Infection and by Age

    SID = Secondarily Infected Dermatoses; SITL = Secondarily Infected Traumatic Lesions. Clinical Success is the number of participants with resolution of signs/symptoms of infection or improvement such that no additional antibiotic therapy was needed.

    Measured: Follow-up, Days 12 to 16

  2. Bacteriological Success Rate at Follow-up, by Baseline Pathogen

    Bacteriological success is defined as: (1) Bacteriological Eradication, elimination of the baseline pathogen via culture results; (2) Presumed Bacteriological Eradication, clinical success plus no culturable material from the wound; or (3) Colonization, new pathogen identified at Follow-up in a non-symptomatic participant who does not require additional antibiotic therapy. The number of pathogens eradicated out of the number isolated (shown as "n" in the category title) for each respective category is shown.

    Measured: Follow-up, Days 12 to 16

  3. Number of Participants by Age With Therapeutic Response of Success

    Therapeutic response is a measure of the overall efficacy response; a response of "therapeutic success" was based on both clinical success and bacteriological success in a given participant.

    Measured: Follow-up, Days 12 to 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Retapamulin Ointment, 1% in people with Skin Infections, Bacterial, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 25 sites in 9 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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 28 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States, Netherlands, Germany, Argentina, South Africa and 4 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2010). 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?

Number of Participants With Measurable Plasma Concentrations, by Age Group (time frame: Days 3 to 4; 4 to 8 hours post-dose of the first dose of the day). 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 28 Dec 2016.
