Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 1: FQ With Uncomplicated Sinusitis or BronchitisA target cohort which includes participants exposed to an oral fluoroquinolone (FQ) with an occurrence start between 2007-01-01 and 2015-12-31 (inclusive) and are between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive). All participants must have continuous observation of at least 180 days prior and 120 days after event index date, and all events will be evaluated per participant. The members of the treatment groups will be linked to the Truven Health and Productivity Management (HPM) data set.
Receives: Drug: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)
Cohort 2: FQ With Uncomplicated Acute Urinary Tract InfectionA target cohort which includes participants exposed to an oral sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (ST) with a qualifying indication of uncomplicated acute urinary tract infection and an occurrence start between 2007-01-01 and 2015-12-31 (inclusive) and are between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive). All participants must have continuous observation of at least 180 days prior and 120 days after event index date, and all events will be evaluated per participant. The members of the comparator groups will be linked to the Truven HPM data set.
Receives: Drug: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)
Cohort 3: AZ with Uncomplicated Acute Sinusitis or BronchitisA comparator cohort which includes participants exposed to oral azithromycin (AZ) with a qualifying indication of uncomplicated acute sinusitis or bronchitis and an occurrence start between 2007-01-01 and 2015-12-31 (inclusive) and are between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive). All participants must have continuous observation of at least 180 days prior and 120 days after event index date, and all events will be evaluated per participant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Disability in Temporal Proximity

    Number of participants with disability in temporal proximity to 2 confirmed System Organ Class (SOC) adverse event (AEs) among the 6 of interest (peripheral nervous system, neuropsychiatric, musculoskeletal, sensory, cardiovascular, skin) will be reported. Disability is defined as an incident short-term disability claim in the Health and Productivity Management (HPM) database if it is observed within 120 days of the first Fluoroquinolone(FQ) or Azithromycin/ Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (AZ/ST) exposure.

    Measured: Up to 120 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchitis and Sinusitis, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Number of Participants with Disability in Temporal Proximity (time frame: Up to 120 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 29 Jan 2019.
