About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Randomized Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate Levofloxacin Steady-State Pharmacokinetics and Safety in Subjects With Varying Degrees of Renal Function

The primary objective was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of two dosing regimens of levofloxacin in patients with varying degrees of renal function.

Read the detailed description

In this multiple-dose study conducted at 4 centers, the pharmacokinetics of two dosing regimens of levofloxacin were assessed in medically stable men and women with varying degree of renal function. The study consisted of a 21 day pretreatment screening phase, a 7-day open label treatment phase, and a 7 day posttreatment phase (or a follow-up phase for subjects with early study withdrawal). Patients were randomized into 1 of 10 treatment groups, for a total of 6 patients per group, based on degree of renal function to ensure that creatinine clearance values within each group represented the full range of values defined in the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 1998 guideline for pharmacokinetic studies in patients with impaired renal function. Fifty-nine patients were enrolled in the study. All patients received a single 750-mg dose of levofloxacin on Day 1; subsequent doses of either 250, 500, or 750 mg of levofloxacin (q24h or q48h) were based on renal function. Blood samples were collected from each patient from Day 1 to Day 14 for pharmacokinetic evaluation. Urine was collected on Days 1 and 7 before dosing and over specific time intervals up to 24 or 48 hours postdosing depending on the patient's dosing regimen. Dialysate samples were collected on Day 7 from HD patients immediately before dosing (as dialysis began) and at the end of the dialysis treatment. Patients were confined overnight at the study unit on Days 0, 1, 6, and 7, and remained confined until the 24 hour blood samples were collected on Days 2 and 8. Safety was based on the incidence, relationship to therapy, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events and on changes in clinical laboratory values (hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis), vital sign measurements, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and physical examination findings. Single 750-mg dose of levofloxacin on Day 1; subsequent doses of Levofloxacin 250 milligram (mg), 500 mg, and 750 mg tablets administered every 24 hours for 7 days or every 48 hours for 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Levofloxacin in people with Renal Diseases, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 11 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 8 Jun 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?

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?

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of two dosing regimens of levofloxacin in renally impaired and dialysis patients.. 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 8 Jun 2011.
