About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study to Compare the Safety and Effectiveness of Doripenem Versus a Comparator Antibiotic in Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of doripenem in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).

Read the detailed description

Doripenem is an antibiotic medication not yet approved by the US FDA. This is a phase 3, multicenter, prospective, open-label (though with blinded outcome assessments), randomized study of doripenem versus a comparator antibiotic in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia. The study consists of screening phase, open-label treatment phase, and follow-up. Both patients on ventilator and not on ventilator are enrolled. The primary endpoint is the clinical response rate at early follow-up visit. The patients may receive either doripenem or comparator; total duration of the treatment is 7 to 14 days.

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

  1. Clinical response rate at the early follow-up visit.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The clinical response rate at early follow-up visit. Microbiological response rate at both early and late follow-up visits. Safety assessment (adverse events, changes in vital signs, laboratory test results) monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing doripenem in people with Pneumonia, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 10 Jun 2011. 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 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 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?

Clinical response rate at the early follow-up visit.. 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 NCT00211003, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 10 Jun 2011.
