Phase 3 Safety and Efficacy Study of I.V. Iclaprim v Linezolid in cSSSI (ASSIST-1)

Information source: Arpida AG
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infection

Intervention: intravenous iclaprim or intravenous linezolid (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Arpida AG

Summary

This is a multi-center, investigator-blind, comparative Phase 3 study. Patients will receive either iclaprim or linezolid for 10 to 14 days. Patients will be evaluated daily for the first four days of study treatment and then every other day, for up to 14 days of the treatment period, at End of Therapy, the Test Of Cure visit (7 to 14 days post treatment), and a Late Follow-up (F/U) visit (7 to 14 days after the TOC visit).

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase 3, Randomized, Investigator-Blind, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Iclaprim Versus Linezolid in Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections.(ASSIST-1)

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Clinical cure rate (the ratio of number of clinically cured patients to the total number of patients in the population) at 7 to 14 days after the end of therapy

Secondary outcome:

Microbiological eradication rate at 7-14 days after end of therapy.

Safety evaluations conducted during the study

Detailed description: Primary Objective:

The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical cure rates of iclaprim and linezolid at the test of cure (TOC) visit (7 to 14 days after the end of treatment).

Secondary Objectives:

The secondary objectives of this study are to compare iclaprim with linezolid regarding:

- Clinical efficacy at the end of study medication treatment;

- Time to resolution of systemic and local signs and symptoms of complicated skin and

skin structure infection (cSSSI);

- Clinical outcome in the microbiologically evaluable (ME) population;

- Bacteriologic outcome in the ME population;

- Bacteriologic eradication rates of Baseline (BL) pathogens;

- Clinical outcome in the modified intent-to-treat (MITT) population;

- Bacteriologic outcome in the MITT population;

- Baseline in vitro susceptibility of isolated pathogens in the ME population; and

- Safety and tolerability of iclaprim treatment.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria - Diagnosis of an infection consistent with complicated skin and skin

structure infection due to a gram positive pathogen.

Exclusion Criteria: - Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any study medication or other

related anti-infective medication - Any known or suspected condition or concurrent

treatment contraindicated by the prescribing information - Previous enrollment in this

study - Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days before enrollment
