What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Composite Response of Microbiological Eradication and Clinical Response at Test of Cure

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite outcome of clinical response and microbiological response at the test of cure assessment, defined as 7 days (±2 days) after the end of antibiotic treatment.

    Clinical response was based on the investigator's evaluation of the participant's clinical signs and symptoms, with response defined as resolution or improvement of complicated urinary tract infection symptoms present at study entry and the absence of new symptoms.

    Microbiological outcome was based on quantitative microbiological urine cultures, with eradication defined as the bacterial pathogen found at study entry at > 1 × 10⁵ CFU/mL reduced to 1 × 10⁴ CFU/mL or less.

    Measured: Test of cure (TOC; 7 days after end of treatment [EOT], equivalent to Study Day 14 to 21)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cefiderocol and Imipenem/cilastatin in people with Urinary Tract Infections, run by Shionogi.

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 20 inclusion and 4 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 12 Dec 2019. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 12 Dec 2019). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Composite Response of Microbiological Eradication and Clinical Response at Test of Cure (time frame: Test of cure (TOC; 7 days after end of treatment [EOT], equivalent to Study Day 14 to 21)). 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 NCT02321800, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 12 Dec 2019.
