  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Must be ≥3 calendar months to <18 years of age. Patients aged ≥3 calendar months to <1 year must have been born at term (defined as gestational age ≥37 weeks).
  • Written informed consent from parent(s) or other legally acceptable representative(s), and informed assent from patient (if age appropriate according to local regulations)
  • If female and has reached menarche, or has reached Tanner stage 3 development (even if not having reached menarche) (refer to Appendix E for further details on Tanner staging), the patient is authorised to participate in this clinical study if the following criteria are met:
  • At screening:
  • (a) Patient reports sexual abstinence for the prior 3 months or reports use of at least 1 of the acceptable methods of contraception, including an intrauterine device (with copper banded coil), levonorgestrel intrauterine system (eg, Mirena®), or regular medroxyprogesterone injections (Depo-Provera®); or (b) Patient agrees to initiate sexual abstinence from the time of screening until 7 days after end of treatment with study drug; and (ii) Patient is advised to avoid conception from the time of screening until 7 days after receipt of study drug and agrees not to attempt pregnancy from the time of screening until 7 days after end of treatment with study drug; and (iii) Patient is provided guidelines regarding continuation of abstinence, initiation of abstinence, or about allowed contraception; and (iv) Patient has a negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) test just prior to study entry. Since serum tests may miss an early pregnancy, relevant menstrual history and sexual history, including methods of contraception, should be considered. Note: if the result of the serum β-hCG test cannot be obtained prior to dosing of investigational product, a patient may be enrolled on the basis of a negative urine pregnancy test, though a serum β-hCG test result must still be obtained.
  • Patient has a clinically suspected and/or bacteriologically documented cUTI or acute pyelonephritis judged by the Investigator to be serious and requires the patient to be hospitalised for treatment with intravenous (IV) therapy

About this study

Official title: A Single Blind, Randomised, Multi-centre, Active Controlled, Trial To Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics And Efficacy Of Ceftazidime And Avibactam Compared With Cefepime In Children From 3 Months To Less Than 18 Years Of Age With Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (Cutis)

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ceftazidime and avibactam (CAZ-AVI )versus cefepime in children from 3 months to less than 18 years old with complicated urinary tract infections.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a single-blind, randomised, multi-centre, active controlled trial. Patients aged from 3 months to less than 18 years with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) will be randomised to 1 of 2 treatment groups (3:1 ratio): Ceftazidime and avibactam (CAZ AVI )or cefepime. Randomisation will be stratified by age cohort.

Patients will receive intravenous (IV) treatment for a minimum of 72 hours (3 full days, ie, 9 doses if given 3 times daily, or 6 doses if given twice daily) before having the option to switch to an oral therapy . The decision to switch to oral therapy is entirely at the Investigator's discretion, if the patient has good or sufficient clinical response, and the patient is tolerating oral fluids or food.

Patients will be assessed for safety and efficacy throughout the study, and blood samples will be taken for pharmacokinetic assessment. The duration of each patient's participation in the study will be a minimum of 27 days to a maximum of 50 days after start of study treatment including (intravenous treatment or oral switch therapy) 7 to 14 days of active treatment. The late follow-up visit (LFU) is to be performed 20 to 36 days after the last dose of any treatment.

The assessments at the test of cure (TOC) visit should be performed in person 8 to 15 days after last dose of any study drug Maximum duration of study drug or oral switch therapy is up to Day 14.

    Measured: EOIV visit (Day 4 to 15), EOT visit (up to Day 16)

  11. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Relapse at Late Follow-up (LFU) Visit: Clinically Evaluable (CE) Analysis Set at LFU

    A participant was said to have clinical relapse if met either 1 of the following criteria: reappearance or worsening of signs and symptoms of cUTI that required further antimicrobial therapy and/or surgery or death after TOC in which cUTI was contributory. LFU visit occurred within 20 to 36 days after last dose of study treatment (IV or oral).

    Measured: LFU visit (anytime up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)

  12. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Relapse at Late Follow-up (LFU) Visit: Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) Analysis Set at LFU

    A participant was said to have clinical relapse if met either 1 of the following criteria: reappearance or worsening of signs and symptoms of cUTI that required further antimicrobial therapy and/or surgery, or death after TOC in which cUTI was contributory. LFU visit occurred within 20 to 36 days after last dose of study treatment (IV or oral).

    Measured: LFU visit (anytime up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)

  13. Percentage of Participants With Emergent Infections: Microbiological Intent-to-treat (Micro-ITT) Population

    Emergent infections were categorized as super-infection and new infections. Superinfection: A urine culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen during the course of active treatment with study therapy along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. New infection: A urine culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen at any time after study treatment had finished along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. Percentage of participants with any (super infections or new infections) of the infections were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to 50 days

  14. Percentage of Participants With Emergent Infections: Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) Analysis Population

    Emergent infections were categorized as super-infection and new infections. Superinfection: A urine culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen during the course of active treatment with study therapy along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. New infection: A urine culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen at any time after study treatment had finished along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. Percentage of participants with any (super infections or new infections) of the infections were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to 50 days

  15. Percentage of Participants With Favourable Combined Response: Microbiological Intent-to-treat (Micro-ITT) Population

    Combined response was the combined assessment of clinical response and microbiological response. Favorable clinical response was defined as a clinical response of improvement and cure (at EOIV) and a clinical response of cure (at TOC). Cure defined as: resolution of all acute signs/symptoms of cUTI/improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy required. Improvement defined as: participants who switched to oral therapy and had afebrile (temperature<=38.0°C) for >=24 hr; absence of new and improvement in at least 1 symptom or sign (ie, fever, pain, tenderness, elevated WBCs, elevated CRP) from Baseline and worsening of none. Favourable microbiological response was absence of the original baseline pathogen in source specimen. EOIV visit occurred within 24 hours after completion of last infusion of the study drug. TOC visit occurred within 8 to 15 days after last dose of any study drug (IV or oral).

    Measured: EOIV visit (Day 4 to 15), TOC visit (up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)

  16. Percentage of Participants With Combined Response: Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) Analysis Population

    Combined response was the combined assessment of clinical response and microbiological response. Favorable clinical response was defined as a clinical response of improvement and cure (at EOIV) and a clinical response of cure (at TOC). Cure defined as: resolution of all acute signs/symptoms of cUTI/improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy required. Improvement defined as: participants who switched to oral therapy and had afebrile (temperature<=38.0°C) for >=24 hr; absence of new and improvement in at least 1 symptom or sign (ie, fever, pain, tenderness, elevated WBCs, elevated CRP) from Baseline and worsening of none. Favourable microbiological response was absence of the original baseline pathogen in source specimen. EOIV visit occurred within 24 hours after completion of last infusion of the study drug. TOC visit occurred within 8 to 15 days after last dose of any study drug (IV or oral).

    Measured: EOIV visit (Day 4 to 15), TOC visit (up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ceftazidime -avibactam and Cefepime in people with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, run by Pfizer at 28 sites in 9 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 14 inclusion and 22 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 11 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Taiwan, United States and 4 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2018). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline until the LFU visit (up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)). The study lists 13 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 NCT02497781, which also lists 2 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 11 Jul 2018.
