About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multinational Phase 3 Trial Of Iseganan In Prevention Of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

This is a multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess whether iseganan, applied topically to the oral cavity, can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia among patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated and survive for up to 14 days.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomized and receive their first dose of Study Drug within 24 hours of oral/nasal intubation and the initiation of mechanical ventilation. The Study Period will begin with the first administration of Study Drug (Study Day 1). Three mL of Study Drug (9 mg iseganan or matching placebo) will be applied to all visible surfaces in the oral cavity and the oral portion of the endotracheal tube (for non-tracheostomy patients) every 4 hours through Study Day 14, or until the diagnosis of microbiologically-confirmed pneumonia (based on central laboratory results) or extubation, whichever occurs first.

All patients will be evaluated for clinically defined pneumonia at least once daily and, if diagnosed, blood specimens will be collected and cultured, and a bronchoscopic alveolar lavage (BAL) specimen (for intubated patients) or a respiratory secretion specimen (for extubated patients) will be obtained PRIOR to initiating or changing any systemic antimicrobial therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objectives of this trial are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of iseganan when administered to intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The secondary objectives of this trial are to compare patients receiving iseganan to patients receiving placebo on the following: VAP-free survival through Day 21

  2. Days alive and free of parenteral antibiotic use through Day 14

  3. Days alive and free of mechanical ventilation through Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing iseganan hydrochloride in people with Pneumonia, run by IntraBiotics Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2005. 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 United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

The primary objectives of this trial are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of iseganan when administered to intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilation.. 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 19 Jul 2005.
