What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intravenous (IV) doses of finafloxacin in healthy subjects.

    The safety evaluation includes the descriptive display and analysis of adverse events after single and multiple doses for 7 days of intravenously administered finafloxacin.

    The frequency of adverse events is evaluated for all casualties and for drug related adverse events. Comparisons between the placebo and verum groups are provided in descriptive manner.

    In addition the evaluation of clinical laboratory data, vital signs, electrocardiography data, physical examination, local tolerability is provided.

    Measured: 1 to 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters of finafloxacin in plasma and urine samples from healthy subjects using non compartmental procedures

    The pharmacokinetic parameters determined for single dose are:

    AUC, Cmax, tlast, t½, CL, VZ, VSS, amount of drug excreted in urine, fraction of dose excreted in urine, renal clearance.

    The pharmacokinetic parameters determined for multiple dose are:

    AUC, Cmax, tmax, t½, observed accumulation ratio, predicted accumulation ratio, linearity ratio, CL, VZ, VSS, amount of drug excreted in urine, fraction of dose excreted in urine, renal clearance.

    In addition, dose and body weight normalised values (norm) for AUC 0-τ, AUC0- tlast, AUC and Cmax were determined by dividing the original pharmacokinetic parameter by dose per kg body weight. Body weight normalised values [norm] for CL, VZ and CLR were calculated by dividing the original pharmacokinetic parameter by body weight.

    Measured: 1 to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Finafloxacin i.v. solution 200 mg, Finafloxacin i.v. solution 400 mg and Finafloxacin i.v. solution 600 mg in people with Healthy, run by MerLion Pharmaceuticals GmbH at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 22 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 30 Jul 2013. 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 Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Safety (time frame: 1 to 7 days). 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 NCT01910883, 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 30 Jul 2013.
