About this study

Official title: The Optimization of Mycoplasm Pneumonia Antibiotic Therapy: Multi-centre, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study

Mycoplasma pneumoniae, an important pathogen of community acquired pneumonia,are becoming more and more resistant to macrolide. The study aim is to optimize anti-infection therapy.

Read the detailed description

Mycoplasma pneumoniae was one of important atypical pathogens of community acquired pneumonia. As lack of cell wall, β-lactam medicines were invalid, however, macrolides, tetracyclines and quinolones were effective. But from 2001, many countries reported macrolide- resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Typically, erythromycin was first-line antibiotic medicine. With the resistance increasing, Mycoplasm pneumonia treatment will become more and more difficult. Thus, optimization of Mycoplasm pneumonia antibiotic therapy is very important.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to resolution of fever (defined as the period from start of study-drug to relief of fever)

    usually duration of fever is about one to two weeks

    Measured: one month

  2. Time to resolution of fever (defined as the period from onset to relief of fever)

    usually duration of fever is about one to two weeks

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Time to resolution of respiratory symptoms(defined as the period from start of study-drug to relief of symptoms)

    Measured: one year

  2. Time to resolution of respiratory symptoms(defined as the period from onset to relief of symptoms)

    Measured: one year

  3. Proportion of antibiotics change

    Measured: one year

  4. Duration of antibiotics

    Measured: one year

  5. Proportion of resolution of fever after antibiotics therapy for 24 hours

    Measured: one year

  6. Proportion of resolution of fever after antibiotics therapy for 72 hours

    Measured: one year

  7. Antibiotic-related adverse reaction

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moxifloxacin and Cephalosporins and azithromycin in people with Mycoplasma Pneumonia, run by Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

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?

Time to resolution of fever (defined as the period from start of study-drug to relief of fever) (time frame: one month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2015.
