About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center Clinical Trial Comparing Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Standard Antibiotic Therapy, Plus Aurexis® or Placebo, for Treatment of Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia (SAB)

Hospitalized patients at least 18 years of age, with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) will be enrolled into the study and receive one dose of Aurexis® intravenously on Study Day 1, and will be followed until Study Day 57. Aurexis is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to combat Staphylococcus aureus.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of standard antibiotic therapy, plus Aurexis or Placebo for treatment of (SAB). Additionally, certain tests and measurements will be conducted to preliminarily determine if Aurexis demonstrates any benefit to these patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. • To evaluate the safety of standard of care, plus a single dose of Aurexis® compared to a single dose of placebo, in subjects with documented SAB

  2. • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of Aurexis® in combination with standard of care in the subjects with SAB

  3. • To evaluate the activity of a single dose of Aurexis® in combination with standard of care, as measured by:

  4. o number of subjects with uncomplicated SAB at baseline who progress to complicated SAB

  5. o number of subjects with microbiologically documented relapse of SAB

  6. o mortality rates

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. • To evaluate the effect of a single dose of Aurexis® in combination with standard of care on the:

  2. o proportion of subjects who develop sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock

  3. o time to achieve a negative blood culture

  4. o time to defervescence

  5. o mean (and median) number of days in the hospital and ICU

  6. o mean (and median) number of days requiring mechanical ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aurexis® in people with Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2013. 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.

What does this 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

• To evaluate the safety of standard of care, plus a single dose of Aurexis® compared to a single dose of placebo, in subjects with documented SAB. The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Mar 2013.
