About this study

Official title: Study on Pharmacokinetics of Moxifloxacin in Serum and Liver Tissue of Patients Undergoing Liver Resection Due to Primary or Secondary Tumor of the Liver

The aim of the study is to provide data on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of moxifloxacin (MXF) in serum and liver tissue of patients undergoing liver resection due to primary or secondary tumor of the liver.

Read the detailed description

After given informed consent, patients scheduled for planned liver resection are enrolled into the study. The patients receive MXF 400 mg as one hour intravenous infusion at randomized timed intervals prior to liver resection. Blood and healthy liver tissue are sampled in 34 patients after administration of MXF. Plasma is sampled concomitantly. In a subgroup of 19 patients, additional serum specimens are obtained after 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h to establish the PK. The pharmacokinetic parameters of MXF are calculated applying a two-compartment model.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration (mg/L) of moxifloxacin in liver tissue

    The first outcome of this study was to analyze the concentration of MFX in liver tissue of patients who received MFX 400 mg i.v..

    Measured: 1.5 hours after moxifloxacin infusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maximum concentration (mg/L) of moxifloxacin in serum

    The maximum concentration (mg/L) of moxifloxacin in the serum of patients who received 400 mg moxifloxacin was measured at the end of the intravenous infusion.

    Measured: at the end of intravenous infusion

  2. Number of participants with adverse events

    The number of participants and kind of adverse events were recorded up to 48 hours after intravenous infusion of 400 mg moxifloxacin.

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of moxifloxacin (mg*h/L)

    The serum concentration of moxifloxacin was measured at different time points (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 hour after infusion) up to 48 hours after intravenous infusion of 400 mg moxifloxacin.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Moxifloxacin 400 mg in people with Side-effect of Antibiotic, run by University Hospital, Saarland at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 24 Feb 2011. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Concentration (mg/L) of moxifloxacin in liver tissue (time frame: 1.5 hours after moxifloxacin infusion). 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 NCT01302951, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Feb 2011.
