About this study

Official title: A Single Centre, Open, Non-controlled Study in Healthy Subjects to Assess the Eradication of Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus Aureus (SA) Following a Five Day Course of Mupirocin (Bactroban 2% Nasal Ointment) Using a Broth Enriched Culture Microbiological Assessment.

This study will assess the nasal eradication of SA in healthy subjects following treatment with mupirocin 2% (Bactroban 2% Nasal Ointment) twice daily for 5 days, by means of a broth enriched culture microbial assay. The sensitivities of broth enrichment and plating assay methods will be compared. The safety and tolerability of Bactroban 2% Nasal Ointment will also be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apparent Eradication of Nasal Carriage of SA

    Apparent eradication demonstrated by a semi-quantitative score of negative or zero using a broth enriched culture microbial assay.

    Measured: 48 hours after the last dose of mupirocin 2%

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Number of Subjects With Adverse Events and Changes in Vital Signs, ECG and Routine Haematology, Clinical Chemistry and Urinalysis Tests Assessed Over the Five Day Treatment Period and Follow-up at 7 and 14 Days Relative to the First Dose.

    Measured: 5 day treatment period and follow-up at 7 and 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mupirocin in people with Staphylococcal Infection, run by Destiny Pharma Plc 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 1 Mar 2016. 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 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 1 Mar 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?

Apparent Eradication of Nasal Carriage of SA (time frame: 48 hours after the last dose of mupirocin 2%). 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 1 Mar 2016.
