About this study

The purpose of the study is to describe the clinical efficacy of CUBICIN therapy in patients with superficial and deep post-surgical Gram-positive wound infections

Read the detailed description

A multi-center, single-arm, open-label, non-comparative study to describe the clinical efficacy of CUBICIN therapy in patients with superficial and deep post-surgical Gram-positive wound infections. Adjunctive treatment with aztreonam and/or metronidazole could be given for Gram-negative and/or anaerobic organisms. Patients are to be treated for a period of 7-14 days as specified in the package insert. An evaluation is to be performed on the day CUBICIN treatment is completed (assessment for outcome of cure, improved, failure or unable to evaluate). A follow-up is required for patients with an Investigator response of 'Improved' at the end of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing daptomycin in people with Wound Infections, run by Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA).

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 5 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2017. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: terminated due to slow enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Investigator's assessment of clinical response based on improvement of signs and symptoms (time frame: End of Therapy). 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 30 Aug 2017.
