About this study

Official title: An Open-Lable Multicenter Prospective Non-Randomized Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Morinidazole With Surgery in Patients With Suppurative or Gangrenous Appendicitis

To assess the efficacy, safety, tissue distribution of target organ and Population Pharmacokinetic (PPK) of morinidazole and sodium chloride injection with surgery in patients with suppurative or gangrenous appendicitis

Read the detailed description

Acute appendicitis is among the most common cause of acute abdominal pain. In patients with complicated acute appendicitis, postoperative, broad-spectrum antibiotics are always recommended. Metronidazole, a member of the nitroimidazole drug class, is included in the regimens recommended for improving anaerobic bacteria coverage. The sideeffects of metronidazole include a metallic taste, nausea, transient neutropenia, and peripheral neuropathy. Antimicrobial resistance to metronidazole has emerged after several decades of worldwide use of the drug. Morinidazole, a National Class I Antimicrobial, is a new type of third-generation nitroimidazole antimicrobial that is used for treating amoebiasis, trichomoniasis, and anaerobic bacterial infections, and which exhibits greater activity and less toxicity than metronidazole.

Morinidazole and Sodium Chloride Injection used in pelvic inflammatory disease or appendicitis cases had been approved by CFDA in 2014. This phase 4 study is to assess the efficacy, safety, tissue distribution of target organ and Population Pharmacokinetic (PPK) of morinidazole in patients with suppurative or gangrenous appendicitis.

  1. Clinical cure Rate

    Clinical cure Rate (according to symptoms and signs) at 5-10 days post-therapy

    Measured: 5-10 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Bacteriological response(Bacterial elimination rate)

    Bacteriological response (on the first day post-therapy, at 5-10 days post-therapy)

    Measured: 5-10 days

  2. Clinical cure Rate on the first day

    Clinical cure Rate(according to symptoms and signs)on the first day post-therapy

    Measured: the first day

  3. Tissue distribution

    Tissue distribution of target organ(Tissue of the appendix)

    Measured: 5-10 days

  4. PPK parameters

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of morinidazole

    Measured: 5-10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing morinidazole in people with Appendicitis, run by Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 21 Dec 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yun Tang (13701393663), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical cure Rate (time frame: 5-10 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 21 Dec 2017.
