Study Comparing Tigecycline Versus Ceftriaxone Sodium Plus Metronidazole in Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection (cIAI)

This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

Sponsored by: Wyeth
Information provided by: Wyeth
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00230971
  Purpose

This is a study of the safety and efficacy of tigecycline to ceftriaxone sodium plus metronidazole in hospitalized subjects with cIAI. Subjects will be followed for efficacy through the test-of-cure assessment. Safety evaluations will occur through the treatment and post-treatment periods and continue through resolution or stability of the adverse event(s).

Further study details as provided by Wyeth:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical response in the clinically evaluable population at the Test-of-Cure visit. [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare the microbiological efficacy of tigecycline to ceftriaxone plus metronidazole in the microbiologically evaluable population [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To evaluate in vitro susceptibility data on tigecycline for a range of pathogenic bacteria that cause cIAI [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To compare health care utilization between treatment groups [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
