About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Sitafloxacin and Ertapenem Treatment for Acute Pyelonephritis Caused by Extended-Spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia Coli

The aim of the investigators' study was to evaluate oral and non carbapenem antimicrobial agents which can be used in outpatient for the treatment of non-bacteremic acute pyelonephritis caused by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Escherichia coli. This study was conducted to compare the clinical and bacteriological outcomes of patients with non-bacteremic acute pyelonephritis caused by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase Escherichia coli who were treated with intravenous (IV) carbapenems followed by oral sitafloxacin or IV ertapenem.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized controlled trial of patients with a presumptive diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis caused by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-producing pathogen was performed. Carbapenems was initially given to all patients. After day 3, patients were randomized to receive either oral sitafloxacin (100 mg twice daily) or intravenous ertapenem. The regular course of treatment was completed within 10 days.

What participants receive

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

  • SitafloxacinDrug

    Also called fluoroquinolone

    The patients in intervention group will receive carbapenem for the first 3 days then sitafloxacin for 7 days. Total of treatment duration is 10 days.

  • ErtapenemDrug

    Also called carbapenem

    Control group will be given ertapenem only for 10 days.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sitafloxacin groupExperimentalThe first third days of treatment was open label and all patients were given intravenous carbapenems. After day 3, the patients were randomized to either sitafloxacin group or ertapenem group by the use of a computer-generated random number allocation schedule and block size of four. The patients were allocated to the sitafloxacin group or ertapenem group using the sealed envelope method.
Receives: Drug: Sitafloxacin
control groupActive comparatorIntervention was prescribed ertapenem for patients.
Receives: Drug: Ertapenem

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sitafloxacin and Ertapenem in people with Infection Due to Escherichia Coli and Acute Pyelonephritis, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2015. 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 Thailand. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chitprasong Malaisri, MD (+66 89 466 5043, Mchitprasong@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

no symptoms of urinary tract infection (time frame: 30 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 2 Sep 2015.
