Trial summary

If tigecycline clearance increases with body size then serum exposure values will be lower in obese class III compared to normal weight subjects because exposure changes inversely with clearance when the dose is fixed without regard to weight. Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TigecyclineDrug

    Also called Tygacil

    100 mg IV as a single infusion over 30 minutes

What is being measured

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

  1. Single-dose Serum AUC of Tigecycline Between Time 0 and 96 Hours

    The AUC is the area under the concentration time curve in serum measured in the unit of concentration in milligram of tigeycline per liter of plasma multiplied by the time interval in hours (hour*mg/L)

    Measured: 4 days (96 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tigecycline in people with Obesity, run by Manjunath Prakash Pai at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 9 Feb 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Single-dose Serum AUC of Tigecycline Between Time 0 and 96 Hours (time frame: 4 days (96 hours)). 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 NCT01560143, 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 9 Feb 2017.
