Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed in the body, how they are distributed within the body and how they are removed from the body over time) of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Single Dose, Parallel Group Pharmacokinetic Study of Ceftobiprole in Morbidly Obese and Non-Obese Patients

The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed in the body, how they are distributed within the body and how they are removed from the body over time) of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients. The secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacodynamics (the study of the action or effects a drug has on the body) and to assess safety and tolerability of ceftobiprole in order to support dosing recommendations in the morbidly obese population.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention), parallel-group, Phase 1 study in morbidly obese and non-obese men and women. A total of 25 patients (12 morbidly obese and 13 non-obese) patients will be enrolled in the study. Morbidly obese and nonobese patients are matched individually 1:1 by age (±10 years), sex, and renal function (as defined by creatinine levels in the urine). There are 4 phases in the clinical study: the pretreatment (screening/baseline) phase of up to 21 days; the 2-day open-label treatment phase when each patients receives a single 2-hour intravenous (directly into the vein) infusion of ceftobiprole 500 mg followed by multiple (up to 15) blood and urine samples drawn over the 24 hours following study drug administration; and the follow-up phase of approximately 1 week after the last blood sample when each patient will be monitored by telephone for development of new adverse events and assessment of ongoing adverse events. Each patient receives a single 2-hour infusion (directly into the vein) of ceftobiprole 500 mg

What is being measured

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

  1. The pharmacokinetics of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients

    Measured: up to 30 days (up to 21 days screening plus 2 days open-label treatment phase plus 1-week follow-up).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To assess the pharmacodynamics of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients.

    Measured: Up to 30 days (up to 21 days screening plus 2 days open label treatment phase plus 1-week follow-up)

  2. To assess safety and tolerability of ceftobiprole in order to support dosing recommendations in the morbidly obese population.

    Measured: Throughout the study from Day -1 through the post-study follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ceftobiprole in people with Obesity and Staphylococcal Skin Infections, run by Basilea Pharmaceutica.

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 3 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 28 Aug 2012. 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?

The pharmacokinetics of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients (time frame: up to 30 days (up to 21 days screening plus 2 days open-label treatment phase plus 1-week follow-up).). 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 28 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
