About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Tigecycline to Treat Hospitalized Japanese Subjects With Community-acquired Pneumonia

To purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) tigecycline in hospitalized subjects of Japanese descent with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of Japanese subjects with CAP. Subjects with clinical signs and symptoms of CAP who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered for enrollment. Qualifying subjects will be assigned to receive tigecycline via IV administration for 7 to 14 consecutive days. The exact duration of administration of the study drug will be at the discretion of the investigator, based on the subject's condition. Subjects will be followed for safety until the test-of-cure (TOC) assessment 10 to 21 days after the last dose of therapy, and for efficacy until TOC assessment.

What participants receive

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

  • tigecyclineDrug

    Dosage form: Tigecycline 50 mg for injection (Lyophilized powder in 5 mL vial) Dosage frequency: Tigecycline 100 mg loading followed by 50 mg every 12 hrs (bid) Duration of therapy: 7 to 14 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients by Clinical Response at Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit.

    Clinical response: Cure=all initial signs/symptoms of pneumonia (SSx) improved; chest x-ray (CXR)improved/stable; no other antibiotics for pneumonia; no worsening or new SSx. Failure=persistence or worsening SSx; no clinical improvement or initial improvement with clinically important worsening; other antimicrobials for pneumonia CXR progression; death > study day 2 due to pneumonia. Indeterminate=unable to determine outcome for nonstudy drug/infection reasons (eg, lost to follow-up); death ≤2 days after first dose for any reason, or >2 days but before TOC visit for non-pneumonia reason.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing tigecycline in people with Community-Acquired Infections, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 9 sites in Japan.

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 3 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 3 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 27 May 2009). 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 Patients by Clinical Response at Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit. (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 3 Jun 2011.
