Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Tuberculosis, Pulmonary

Intervention: paromomycin (Drug); streptomycin (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: FDA Office of Orphan Products Development

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Thomas Paul Kanyok, Study Chair, Affiliation: University of Illinois at Chicago

Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the pharmacokinetics and early bactericidal activity of paromomycin (aminosidine) vs streptomycin for the treatment of uncomplicated pulmonary tuberculosis. II. Compare the tolerability of these two drugs in these patients. III. Establish the relationships between achieved serum concentration, minimal inhibitory concentration, and early bactericidal activity of paromomycin and streptomycin.

Clinical Details

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics Study, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Detailed description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms. Patients in arms I and II receive one of two doses of paromomycin intramuscularly once a day for 3 days. Patients in arm III receive streptomycin intramuscularly once a day for 3 days. All patients then begin a course of standard therapy for tuberculosis.

Eligibility

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