Trial summary

Fever can develop after fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) in about 2.5 - 16 % of adult patients. We evaluated the impact of oral amoxicillin/clavulanate (AC) on incidence of postbronchoscopic fever and pneumonia. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of fever

    time frame for body temperature 24hr before and after bronchoscopy every 4hrs

    Measured: 24 hr after bronchoscopy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change of serum cytokines level

    Time frame for cytokine measurement 24hr before brochoscopy - 1hr after bronchosocpy - 24hr after brochoscopy

    Measured: before bronchoscopy and 24hr after bronchoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing oral amoxicillin/clavulanate 1g (875/125mg) in people with Fever and Pneumonia, run by Seoul National University Hospital.

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 21 Jul 2011. 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 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 incidence of fever (time frame: 24 hr after bronchoscopy). 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 NCT01089218, 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 21 Jul 2011.
