About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Non-Randomized, Open Label Study Of Azithromycin Intravenous Followed By Oral Administration In Japanese Adult Subjects With Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Requiring Initial Intravenous Therapy

Azithromycin had a potent in vitro activities and broad spectrum from typical and atypical bacteria to anaerobes. Azithromycin intravenous formulation demonstrated high efficacy and eradication rate in the western clinical trials. Development of azithromycin intravenous formulation would bring the clinical benefit to patients with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in Japan.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AzithromycinDrug

    The patients will receive 500 mg intravenous azithromycin QD for 1 to 2 days. The period of administration of intravenous dosing is judged by investigators according to patient status. Following intravenous administration, the patients will be received the 250 mg oral azithromycin (tablet formulation) QD to complete a total of 7 days therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate (Clinical Response, Data Review Committee Assessment) in Participants Who Enrolled After Protocol Amendment (the Inclusion Criterion Regarding Fever of 37℃ or Higher Was Option)

    Response rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as effective" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

    The inclusion criterion regarding fever was amended from the required criteria to the additional criteria in consultation with the regulatory authority. The subset of participants who were enrolled after the protocol amendment was the primary analysis sets for efficacy.

    Measured: End of Treatment, Day 15 and Day 29

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response Rate (Clinical Response, Investigator Assessment) in Participants Who Enrolled After Protocol Amendment (the Inclusion Criterion Regarding Fever of 37℃ or Higher Was Option)

    Response rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as effective" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

    The inclusion criterion regarding fever was amended from the required criteria to the additional criteria in consultation with the regulatory authority. The subset of participants who were enrolled after the protocol amendment was the primary analysis sets for efficacy.

    Measured: End of Treatment, Day 15 and Day 29

  2. Eradication Rate (Bacteriological Response, Data Review Committee Assessment) in Participants Who Enrolled After Protocol Amendment (the Inclusion Criterion Regarding Fever of 37℃ or Higher Was Option)

    Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as eradication, presumed eradication and microbial substitution" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

    The inclusion criterion regarding fever was amended from the required criteria to the additional criteria in consultation with the regulatory authority. The subset of participants who were enrolled after the protocol amendment was the primary analysis sets for efficacy.

    Measured: End of treatment, Day 15, Day 29

  3. Eradication Rate (Bacteriological Response, Investigator Assessment) in Participants Who Enrolled After Protocol Amendment (the Inclusion Criterion Regarding Fever of 37℃ or Higher Was Option)

    Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as eradication , presumed eradication and microbial substitution" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

    The inclusion criterion regarding fever was amended from the required criteria to the additional criteria in consultation with the regulatory authority. The subset of participants who were enrolled after the protocol amendment was the primary analysis sets for efficacy.

    Measured: End of treatment, Day 15, Day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Azithromycin in people with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, run by Pfizer at 31 sites in Japan.

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 3 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 3 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in Japan. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response Rate (Clinical Response, Data Review Committee Assessment) in Participants Who Enrolled After Protocol Amendment (the Inclusion Criterion Regarding Fever of 37℃ or Higher Was Option) (time frame: End of Treatment, Day 15 and Day 29). 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 NCT00871494, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Nov 2011.
