About this study

Official title: Intraperitoneal (IP) Vancomycin Plus Oral Moxifloxacin Versus IP Vancomycin Plus IP Ceftazidime for the Treatment of Peritoneal Dialysis-related Peritonitis: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Study

Intra-peritoneal administration of antibiotics covering both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms was recommended as first-line regimen for the management of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis. Oral administration of quinolones can also achieve effective serum concentrations, and is more convenient and economical. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled study to compare the effects on peritonitis cure and relapsing rates between oral moxifloxacin plus IP vancomycin and conventional IP vancomycin plus ceftazidime.

Read the detailed description

To compare the effects on peritonitis cure and relapsing rates between oral moxifloxacin plus IP vancomycin and conventional IP vancomycin plus ceftazidime, eligible PD patients were randomly assigned to study group (IP vancomycin 1g every 5 days combined with oral moxifloxacin 400mg QD) and control group (IP vancomycin 1g every 5 days combined with IP ceftazidime 1g QD). Patients were followed for 3 months after the completion of the treatment period. Primary endpoint is complete cure, secondary endpoint are primary response and primary or secondary treatment failure.

Being tested
vancomycin, moxifloxacin, ceftazidime

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Cure Rate

    complete cure was defined as complete resolution of peritonitis (normalization of body temperature, resolution of abdominal pain, clearing of dialysate, and PD effluent neutrophil count less than 100 cells/mL and proportion of polynuclear cell less than 50%) by using antibiotics alone without relapse within 4 weeks of completion of therapy

    Measured: within 4 weeks of completion of therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Primary Response Rate

    Primary response was defined as resolution of peritonitis (normalization of body temperature, resolution of abdominal pain, clearing of dialysate, and PD effluent neutrophil count less than 100 cells/mL and proportion of polynuclear cell less than 50%) on day 10 by using antibiotics alone

    Measured: on day 10 by using antibiotics alone

  2. Primary Treatment Failure Rate

    Primary treatment failure was defined as the presence of fever, abdominal pain, and turbid peritoneal dialysate, and if the total peritoneal WBC counts is >50% of the pretreatment values after 3 days of treatment by the assigned antibiotics

    Measured: after 3 days of treatment by the assigned antibiotics

  3. Secondary Treatment Failure Rate

    Secondary treatment failure was defined as treatment failure despite adjustment of antibiotics or changing to second line antibiotics for 3 to 5 days in patients with primary treatment failure

    Measured: after 6 to 8 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vancomycin, moxifloxacin and ceftazidime in people with Peritoneal Dialysis Associated Peritonitis, run by Peking University First Hospital.

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 7 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 26 Mar 2020. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Mar 2020). 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?

Complete Cure Rate (time frame: within 4 weeks of completion of therapy). 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 26 Mar 2020.
