Brief Summary:
This is a phase 3b/4 randomized, open-label, comparative, multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of tigecycline to ceftriaxone sodium plus metronidazole in hospitalized subjects with cIAI (Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection). Subjects with clinical signs and symptoms of cIAI will be included for enrollment. Subjects will be stratified at randomization for Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation scale (APACHE II) score < 10 and > 10. 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).

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized Comparative Study of Tigecycline vs Ceftriaxone Sodium Plus Metronidazole for the Treatment of Hospitalized Subjects With Complicated Intra-abdominal Infection
Study Start Date : September 2005
Actual Primary Completion Date : February 2008
Actual Study Completion Date : February 2008


Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: A Drug: tigecycline
every 12 hours IV (an initial dose of 100 mg followed by 50 mg every 12 hours)

Active Comparator: B Drug: ceftriaxone sodium + metronidazole
Ceftriaxone sodium 2 g once daily intravenously plus metronidazole 1 g to 2 g daily given in divided doses intravenously. Test article should be administered for a minimum of 4 days and up to 14 days at the discretion of the investigator.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Clinically Evaluable Patients With Clinical Response of Cure at Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit. [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article ]
    The clinical response was assigned by the investigator according to the protocol-specified guidelines. A clinical response of cure was defined as: the test article and the initial intervention (operative and/or radiologically controlled drainage procedure) resolved the intra-abdominal infection.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Microbiologically Evaluable Patients With a Clinical Response of Cure at Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit. [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article ]
    The clinical response was assigned by the investigator according to the protocol-specified guidelines. A clinical response of cure was defined as: the test article and the initial intervention (operative and/or radiologically controlled drainage procedure) resolved the intra-abdominal infection.

  2. Number of Patients by Microbiologic Response at Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit. [ Time Frame: 10-21 days after the last dose of test article ]
    Microbiologic response assessed at patient level was combined microbiologic responses for all baseline isolates identified in intra-abdominal/blood cultures. Eradication=baseline isolate not recovered from primary infection site/blood; Presumed Eradication=no material available for culture but response was cure; Persistence=baseline isolate recovered from primary infection site/blood; Presumed Persistence=no material available for culture but response was failure; Superinfection=culture from primary infection site was positive for new isolate not identified at baseline & response was failure.
