About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Penetration of Ceftobiprole Into Soft Tissue Determined by In Vivo Microdialysis in Healthy Volunteers

The primary objective of this study is to measure the penetration of ceftobiprole into subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and to determine the concentration over time of ceftobiprole in these tissues and in plasma after administration of a single intravenous (i.v.) infusion (directly into the vein) of ceftobiprole 500 mg administered over 2 hours. The secondary objective was to further assess the safety and tolerability of ceftobiprole after a single i.v. infusion.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label (all patients involved know the identity of the drug), single-arm, nonrandomized study of ceftobiprole in healthy men and women. The study is conducted in 2 parts: a pilot study and a main study. Each study (i.e. the pilot study and the main study) consists of 3 phases: a pretreatment phase that includes up to a 21-day screening period, an open-label treatment phase (1 day in the pilot study and 2 days in the main study), and a posttreatment phase that included the end of study evaluations and follow-up study visit or telephone contact planned for 1 to 2 weeks after discharge from the study unit. Serial blood and dialysis samples will be collected at specified time points from predose through 24 hours after the start of the infusion for estimation of ceftobiprole and ceftobiprole medocaril concentrations. Additional samples will be collected for measurement of protein binding. The study will include the following evaluations of safety and tolerability: adverse events, clinical laboratory tests (including hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, physical examination, serology, pregnancy tests, urine drug screen, and alcohol breath test. In the pilot study, Ceftobiprole will be locally administered via a microdialysis probe at a concentration of approximately 30 µg/mL for 60 minutes. In the main Study, each volunteer will receive ceftobiprole locally via the microdialysis probe. After the washout period determined by the pilot study, each volunteer will receive a single 2-hour i.v. infusion of ceftobiprole.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the penetration of ceftobiprole into subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and to determine the concentration-versus-time profiles of ceftobiprole in these tissues and in plasma.

    Measured: Day 1 pre- and post-dose during the pilot study and on Days 1 and 2 during the main study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of ceftobiprole after a single intravenous (iv) infusion.

    Measured: Approximately 5 weeks during the pilot study including screening, treatment, and posttreatment follow up and for approximately 5 weeks during the main study including screening, treatment, and posttreatment follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ceftobiprole in people with Staphylococcal Skin Infections and Streptococcal 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 4 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 30 Jul 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?

To measure the penetration of ceftobiprole into subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and to determine the concentration-versus-time profiles of ceftobiprole in these tissues and in plasma. (time frame: Day 1 pre- and post-dose during the pilot study and on Days 1 and 2 during the main study). 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 Jul 2012.
