About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group, Phase II Dose-Ranging Study of Nebulized Amikacin Delivered Via the Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS) in Ventilated Patients With Nosocomial Pneumonia Due to Gram Negative Organisms

This study is part of a research program too see if amikacin delivered as an aerosol directly to the lungs in combination with IV antibiotic therapy can help intubated patients with gram-negative pneumonia get better faster than when given intravenous antibiotics alone. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the correct dose of amikacin which is delivered directly to the lungs as an aerosol via an investigational device called the Pulmonary Delivery Device System (PDDS).

What participants receive

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

  • Amikacin (BAY41-6551)Drug

    Single daily dose of 400 mg aerosolized amikacin and a single dose of aerosolized placebo on a rotating every 12hr schedule

  • Amikacin (BAY41-6551)Drug

    Daily dose of 800 mg aerosolized amikacin delivered in two divided doses of 400 mg per aerosol treatment every 12hr

  • PlaceboDrug

    Two aerosol treatments per day (one treatment every 12hr)

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who achieve a C(max) for amikacin in tracheal aspirates at least 25 times greater than the reference MIC for hospital-acquired organisms and an AUC (0-24 hr) / MIC ratio that is 100 or greater on Day 1

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Mean C(max) and mean AUC of amikacin in tracheal aspirates

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 3 of treatment period

  2. Mean ratio of C (max) / MIC and mean ratio of AUC (0-24 hr) / MIC

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 3 of treatment period

  3. Clinical cure rate

    Measured: Test of cure visit (7 days post last treatment dose)

  4. Microbiological eradication rate of identified pathogens

    Measured: Test of cure visit (7 days post last treatment dose)

  5. Microbiological persistence rate

    Measured: Test of cure visit (7 days post last treatment dose)

  6. New infection rate

    Measured: Test of cure visit (7 days post last treatment dose)

  7. Assessment of adverse events related to drug or device

    Measured: Treatment period, early post treatment period, test of cure visit, and late post treatment

  8. Assessment of abnormal laboratory values

    Measured: Treatment period, early post treatment period, test of cure visit, and late post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Amikacin (BAY41-6551) in people with Pneumonia, run by Bayer at 20 sites in 3 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, France, Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Proportion of patients who achieve a C(max) for amikacin in tracheal aspirates at least 25 times greater than the reference MIC for hospital-acquired organisms and an AUC (0-24 hr) / MIC ratio that is 100 or greater on Day 1 (time frame: Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01004445, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2011.
