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 3 to 24 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • 1. Written parental (or appropriate legal representative) informed consent prior to any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care; 2.1 Male or female between the ages of 3 months and 24 months, inclusive; 3. Able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study; 4.1 Clinically stable with no evidence of hemodynamic instability (defined as a requirement for inotropic or vasodilatory support to manage blood pressure) in the 24 hour window prior to first dose, and no history or evidence of renal or hepatic compromise; 5.1 Suspected or diagnosed bacterial infection for which the subject is receiving standard antibiotic therapy; including prophylactic use of antibiotics peri-operatively; 6. A calculated creatinine clearance rate (CLcr) ≥ 80 ml/min/1.73m2 as determined by the Schwartz equation at baseline; 7. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels less than 2X ULN (upper limit of normal) at baseline; 8.1 Presence of two patent intravenous lines (or comparable means of venous or arterial access)prior to dosing on Study Day 1. A single intravenous line (or comparable means of venous access) is acceptable for both drug administration and sample collection if reasonable effort to gain a second line is unsuccessful. The line must be flushed as described in Appendix B of the protocol prior to obtaining PK samples. PK sample can be obtained from a peri-operatively placed arterial line. Arterial PK samples should be indicated on the CRF.

Who cannot join

  • Investigational drug use (including daptomycin) or participation in any experimental procedure in the 30 days preceding study entry;
  • Known allergy/ hypersensitivity to daptomycin; 3.1 History of clinically significant, renal, hepatic, autoimmune disease or primary immune deficiency;
  • 4. Deleted 5. Subjects with clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results (including ECGs), as determined by Investigator; 6. Administration of rifampin within 7 days of study drug administration; 7. Deleted 8. Subjects in whom collection of the required blood volume would put them at risk of hemodynamic disturbance (at the discretion of Investigator); 9. Deleted; 10.1 Planned administration of intramuscular injection within 12 hours following study administration unless approved by the Medical Monitor; 11. Deleted 12.1 Guillian-Barre or spinal cord injury; 13. History of or current rhabdomyolysis.

About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of a Single Dose of Daptomycin in Pediatric Subjects Aged 3 Months to Twenty-Four Months Who Are Concurrently Receiving Standard Antibiotic Therapy for Proven or Suspected Bacterial Infection Including Peri-Operative Prophylactic Use of Antibiotics

This is a research study designed to look at the pharmacokinetics (distribution, breakdown, and removal) and tolerability of a single dose of daptomycin in patients aged 3 months to 24 months who have proven or suspected infections that are caused by a specific group of bacteria (called Gram-positive bacteria)or perioperative subjects that are receiving prophylactic antibiotics .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Daptomycin in people with Gram Positive Bacterial Infection, run by Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA) at 8 sites 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 1 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 13 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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 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?

PK of single dose daptomycin in subjects between 3 and 24 months who are receiving standard antibiotic therapy for a Gram-positive infection, including subjects that are receiving prophylactic antibiotics peri-operatively. (time frame: Two years). 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 NCT01019395, 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 13 Nov 2019.
