About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled Study of Combined Administration of Nebulized Amikacin in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

This is a multi-centered, randomized, controlled study to assess the efficacy, indications and adverse reactions of combined administration of nebulized amikacin in patients with acute exacerbation of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and to evaluate whether inhaled antibiotics are more likely to cause bacterial resistance.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To assess the efficacy, indications and adverse reactions of combined administration of nebulized amikacin in patients with acute exacerbation of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and to evaluate whether inhaled antibiotics are more likely to cause bacterial resistance.

Methods: Patients with acute exacerbation of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis will be randomly assigned to the observer group (participants receive nebulized amikacin BID for 14 days in combination with standard treatment) or the control group (participants receive nebulized 0.9% saline BID for 14 days in combination with standard treatment). The primary endpoint was bacterial clearance rate of sputum.

Expected results: Compared with the control group, bacterial clearance rate of sputum of the observer Group will increase significantly.

What participants receive

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

  • AmikacinDrug

    Nebulized 0.2g of amikacin and 2 mL of normal saline twice a day for 14 days in combination with standard treatment.

  • Normal salineDrug

    Nebulized 3 mL of normal saline twice a day for 14 days in combination with standard treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bacterial Clearance Rate of Sputum

    The bacterial eradication rate of the sputum was calculated by the number of P. aeruginosa-eradicated cases according to sputum culture testing result. Sputum samples were collected in the morning after toothbrushing and gargling, before the patients used any medicine. Eligible sputum samples were defined as having ≥25 white blood cells/highpower field and ≤10 epithelial cells/high-power field; the samples were sent for testing within 60 min. Sputum samples were collected again after 14 days. If the second sputum culture test showed a negative result after the first one had been positive, it was defined as eradicated.

    Measured: after 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Total Sputum Weight (Collected Over 24 h) After 14 Days of Treatment

    Measured: after 14 days

  2. Sputum Property Score After 14 Days of Treatment

    The sputum properties were graded from 1 to 4, with 1 being assigned to transparent mucous sputum, 2 to yellow purulent sputum, 3 to green purulent sputum, and 4 to black green purulent sputum. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: after 14 days

  3. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) (Percent of Predicted for Age) After 14 Days of Treatment

    Measured: after 14 days

  4. Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) After 14 Days of Treatment

    Measured: after 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Amikacin and Normal saline in people with Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis, run by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 24 Apr 2019. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 16 Apr 2019). 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?

Bacterial Clearance Rate of Sputum (time frame: after 14 days). 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 24 Apr 2019.
