Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects < 18 years of age inclusive, with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis being admitted to the hospital for acute pulmonary exacerbation with MRSA isolated from sputum culture.
  • Female subject of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the first dose of study drug, and if sexually active agrees to use an acceptable method of birth control per investigator judgment for the duration of the study.
  • Subjects who are receiving medications with serotonergic (such as certain types of antidepressants) and adrenergic activity that can not be discontinued based on clinical judgment of the primary physician may be enrolled. These subjects will be monitored closely for serotonin- and sympathomimetic-associated toxicity.
  • Subject (when able) and subject's parent /legal guardian agree to comply with the study requirements.
  • Subject has sufficient venous access to permit administration of the study medication, collection of pharmacokinetic samples and monitoring of safety variables.
  • Duration of linezolid therapy is expected to exceed 7 days.
  • English and Spanish-speaking subjects.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with clinical or laboratory evidence of severe hepatic (Child-Pugh class C) disease
  • Subjects with severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min)
  • Subjects with a history of allergy to linezolid.
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding subjects.

About this study

To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of IV (intravenous) and PO (oral) formulations of linezolid among children with cystic fibrosis and establish a dose regimen that will be safe and effective.

Read the detailed description

Patients with cystic fibrosis who have pulmonary exacerbations associated with the isolation of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in their sputum will be identified by their primary physicians and by laboratory record review. If they meet the inclusion criteria, they will be invited to participate in the study. The primary outcome variables include pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic indices. The study end points include completion of the sputum and blood sampling for pharmacokinetic studies of both intravenous and oral formulations of linezolid and collection of microbiologic specimen (sputum and anterior nares cultures) one month after discharge. Additionally, pharmacokinetic data will be analyzed for effects of age and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation on clearance of linezolid and for relationship between levels of linezolid achieved in sputum and blood and clinical outcome

What participants receive

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

  • LinezolidDrug

    Also called Zyvox

    Pharmacokinetics

    daily dose of linezolid at 15 mg/kg/dose Intravenously (IV) based on subject's weight at study entry, over half an hour period, every 8 hours for a minimum of 7 days to a maximum of 28 days total. The primary doctor may change the route of administration of linezolid from IV to oral (by mouth)after 72 hours on IV formulation and demonstrated clinical improvement based on the clinical evaluation by the primary doctor and comparison of cystic fibrosis exacerbation criteria scores before and after initiating treatment with linezolid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Linezolid in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 27 Mar 2020. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Mar 2020). 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?

To Determine the Pharmacokinetic Profile of IV (Intravenous) and PO (Oral) Formulations of Linezolid Among Children With Cystic Fibrosis (time frame: 2 months). 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 27 Mar 2020.
