Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 8 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female subjects 8 to 17 years old. Children with bone maturation less than 8 years old should be enrolled with caution due to potential risk of tooth discoloration.
  • Have a diagnosis of a serious infection (complicated intra-abdominal infections [cIAI] or community acquired pneumonia [CAP] as applicable) requiring hospitalization and administration of IV antibiotic therapy.
  • Criteria related indication (cIAI or CAP - as applicable), e.g., sign of systemic infection, signs and symptom.

Who cannot join

  • Subject with any concomitant illness/condition that, in the investigator's judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in and/or completion of the study, or could preclude the evaluation of the subject's response (e.g., life expectancy <30 days).

What participants receive

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

  • TigecyclineDrug

    Also called Tygacil

    Subject with cIAI:

    Dosing information for subjects 8 to 11 years old is currently under investigation and will be determined later. Subjects 12 to 17 years old will receive tigecycline 50 mg IV every 12 hours, metronidazole placebo IV will be administered every 8 hours. In addition, at the discretion of the investigator, an aminoglycoside placebo IV may also be administered.

  • TigecyclineDrug

    Also called Tygacil

    Subject with CAP:

    IV therapy period: Dosing information for subjects 8 to 11 years old is currently under investigation and will be determined later. Subjects 12 to 17 years old will receive tigecycline 50 mg IV every 12h. At the discretion of the investigator oral clarithromycin placebo may be given every 12h.

    Oral therapy period: If oral switch criteria are met, on or after Day 4 amoxicillin/clavulanate may be prescribed (40 mg/kg per day divided into 3 equal doses, maximum of 500 mg/dose to subjects weighing less than 40 kg and 500 mg every 8h to subjects weighing 40 kg or greater). In addition, if oral clarithromycin or placebo had been given during the IV period, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old).

  • cIAI: Ceftriaxone with metronidazole, plus if applicable aminoglycosideDrug

    Subject with cIAI:

    Subjects will receive ceftriaxone 35 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV every 12 hours, metronidazole 10 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV will be administered every 8 hours.

    In addition, at the discretion of the investigator, an aminoglycoside IV (adjusted dose if necessary) may also be given.

  • CAP: Ceftriaxone, plus if applicable oral clarithromycinDrug

    Subject with CAP:

    IV therapy period: Subjects will receive ceftriaxone 35 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV every 12h. At the discretion of the investigator, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old).

    Oral therapy period: If oral switch criteria are met, on or after Day 4 amoxicillin/clavulanate may be prescribed (40 mg/kg per day divided into 3 equal doses, maximum of 500 mg/dose to subjects weighing less than 40 kg and 500 mg every 8h to subjects weighing 40 kg or greater). In addition, if oral clarithromycin or placebo had been given during the IV period, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old).

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical efficacy response (cure, failure, or indeterminate) at the test of cure (TOC) visit for 2 co-primary populations: the clinically evaluable (CE) and clinical modified Intent-to-Treat (c-mITT) populations

    Measured: 2 to 7 weeks for cIAI and 2 to 5 weeks for CAP

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical response at the IV last day of therapy (LDOT) for co-primary populations: the CE and c-mITT populations

    Measured: 5 days to 4 weeks for cIAI and 5 days to 2 weeks for CAP

  2. Clinical response at follow up (FUP) visits for co-primary populations: the CE and c-mITT populations

    Measured: 5 to 9 weeks for cIAI and 5 to 7 weeks for CAP

  3. Microbiological response at the subject and the pathogen level

    Measured: 5 to 9 weeks for cIAI and 5 to 7 weeks for CAP

  4. Response rate by pathogen and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value

    Measured: 5 to 9 weeks for cIAI and 5 to 7 weeks for CAP

  5. Response rates for polymicrobial/monomicrobial infections, and susceptibility evaluations

    Measured: 5 to 9 weeks for cIAI and 5 to 7 weeks for CAP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tigecycline, cIAI: Ceftriaxone with metronidazole, plus if applicable aminoglycoside and CAP: Ceftriaxone, plus if applicable oral clarithromycin in people with Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia and Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection, run by Pfizer.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2013. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Clinical efficacy response (cure, failure, or indeterminate) at the test of cure (TOC) visit for 2 co-primary populations: the clinically evaluable (CE) and clinical modified Intent-to-Treat (c-mITT) populations (time frame: 2 to 7 weeks for cIAI and 2 to 5 weeks for CAP). 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 22 Feb 2013.
