  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female subjects with confirmed pneumonia, defined as the presence of a new progressive infiltrate(s) on chest radiograph and the presence of gram-negative organism by either culture or Gram stain of respiratory secretions. The subject must be intubated and mechanically ventilated and expected to remain so for at least 3 days after the start of study treatment. Subjects with a tracheostomy were also eligible.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with compromised or suppressed Immune systems, severe hypoxemia, neutropenia, serum creatinine > 2mg/dl and chronic liver disease

  • Were known or suspected to have active tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
  • Were receiving immunosuppressive therapy, defined as chronic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications
  • Had a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2
  • Had burns >40% of total body surface area
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Had known local or systemic hypersensitivity to amikacin or aminoglycosides
  • Had a diagnosis of end-stage renal failure or were currently on dialysis treatment
  • Had a serum albumin level <2 g/dL at Screening
  • Used amikacin by any route within 7 days before the start of study treatment
  • Had a presence of any concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude completion of study evaluations or make it unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy and Follow-Up could be completed

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax

    Maximum serum amikacin concentration observed from time 0 to 12 h

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose

  2. Tmax

    Time that Cmax occurred

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose

  3. AUC0-12h

    Area under the serum amikacin concentration vs time curve from time 0 to 12 h

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose

  4. Xu0-12h

    Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 0 to 12 h after dosing

    Measured: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose

  5. Xu12-24h

    Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 12 to 24 h after dosing

    Measured: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose

  6. Xu0-24h

    Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 0 to 24 h after dosing

    Measured: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose

  7. Tracheal aspirate

    Measured: Day 3

  8. Epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentration

    Measured: Approximately 15-30 min after completion of the morning dose of study medication on Day 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Approximately 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Amikacin inhalation solution (BAY41-6551) in people with Pneumonia, run by Bayer at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 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 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, France. 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 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?

Cmax (time frame: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01021436, 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 18 Feb 2016.
