About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Moxifloxacin, Amoxicillin+Metronidazole for Aggressive Periodontitis Treatment

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of moxifloxacin or amoxicillin plus metronidazole in one-stage scaling and root planing in treating generalized aggressive periodontitis. Forty five subjects will be randomly allocated to 3 treatment groups. Subgingival plaque samples will be analysed for cultivable bacteria. The primary outcome variable to determine the superiority of one treatment over the others would be differences between groups for means CAL changes at 6 months post-treatment. Secondary outcome variables include differences between therapies for the mean changes in the mean levels of PD and the proportion of BOP.

What participants receive

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

  • Scaling and Root Planing combined with moxifloxacinDrug

    Also called periodontal scaling

    Scaling and Root Planing combined with systemically administered moxifloxacin (MOX) 400 mg, once daily for 7 days

Study groups in NCT02839421
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Scaling and Root Planing plus moxifloxacinExperimentalThe interventions are Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) combined with systemically administered moxifloxacin (MOX) 400 mg, once daily for 7 days.The experimental treatment group consist of SRP combined with systemically administered MOX at the dosage of 400 mg once daily for 7 days.One-stage full-mouth SRP under local anesthesia will be performed (using manual instruments and ultrasonic debridement) in approximately 2 h and half by the same experienced clinician.The endpoint of SRP will be a tactile smooth root surface. The adjunctive agent will start at the SRP visit. Subjects in the MOX group will be extensively informed about the intake of the prescribed medication.

Scaling and Root Planing plus amox-metroActive comparatorThe active comparator is Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) combined with systemically administered Amoxicillin (amox) + Metronidazole (metro) 500 mg tid each one for 7 days. The active comparator group consist of SRP combined with systemically administered Amoxicillin (amox) + Metronidazole (metro) 500 mg tid each one for 7 days. One-stage full-mouth SRP under local anesthesia will be performed (using manual instruments and ultrasonic debridement) in approximately 2 h and half by the same experienced clinician.The endpoint of SRP will be a tactile smooth root surface. The adjunctive agent will start at the SRP visit. Subjects in the amox-metro group will be extensively informed about the intake of the prescribed medication.

Scaling and Root Planing plus placeboPlacebo comparatorScaling and Root Planing (SRP) + placebo once daily for 7 days. The placebo comparator group consist of SRP combined with systemically administered placebo once daily for 7 days. One-stage full-mouth SRP under local anesthesia will be performed (using manual instruments and ultrasonic debridement) in approximately 2 h and half by the same experienced clinician.The endpoint of SRP will be a tactile smooth root surface. The placebo agent will start at the SRP visit. Subjects in the placebo group will be extensively informed about the intake of the prescribed medication.

What is being measured

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

  1. clinical attachment level

    It was defined that the primary outcome variable to determine the superiority of one treatment over the other would be differences between groups for means Clinical Attachment Level changes at 6 months post-treatment. This is a measure assessing change between two time points .

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Scaling and Root Planing combined with moxifloxacin in people with Aggressive Periodontitis, run by Facultad Nacional de Salud Publica at 1 site in Colombia.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2019. 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 Colombia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

clinical attachment level (time frame: 3 and 6 months). 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 NCT02839421, 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 29 May 2019.
