What participants receive

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

  • CeftarolineDrug

    Also called Teflaro, Ceftaroline fosamil, PPI-0903, TAK-599,

    The duration of treatment will vary based on type of infection (acute osteomyelitis or joint infection) and if MRSA positive or negative.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sustained clinical remission from the treated osteoarticular infection

    Sustained clinical remission is defined by the absence of either clinical or microbiological evidence of failure at 1 year after study drug completion, in patients who complete the protocol's antibiotic regimen(s) and did not require subsequent antibiotics for their osteoarticular infection beyond the protocol prescribed regimen.

    Measured: 1 year after study drug completion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Initial clinical success from the treated osteoarticular infection

    Initial clinical success will be measured by the agreement of the Infectious disease consultant and Orthopedic surgeon that the patient has had a positive response to therapy. Success will be measured by decrease of CRP (C reactive protein) by 50% from baseline if initially elevated, no evidence of drainage, sinus tract formation or infection related bone instability. Follow up cultures, if available are negative for originally isolated organism. In patients with prothetic joints no new warmth, tenderness or inflammation.

    Measured: 30 days after conclusion of study antibiotic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ceftaroline in people with Osteomyelitis and Joint Infections, run by Orlando Health, Inc. 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 11 inclusion and 19 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2014. 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?

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?

Sustained clinical remission from the treated osteoarticular infection (time frame: 1 year after study drug completion). 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 7 Aug 2014.
