Summary

The purpose of this study is to prove the clinical and bacteriological non-inferiority of ampicillin/amoxicillin versus moxifloxacin in hospitalized patients with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia.

Clinical Details

Official title: Prospective, Doubleblind, Randomized Multicenter Study to Proof the Clinical and Bacteriological Non-inferiority of Ampicillin/Amoxicillin Versus Moxifloxacin in Hospitalized Patients With Non-severe Community-acquired Pneumonia

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Proof of the clinical non inferiority by the cure rate at the treatment of a Pneumonia at the therapy end (round 3: Day 7 to 10) with a standard penicillin in a high dosage

Secondary outcome:

clinical cure rate

bacteriological effectiveness on patients and seed level

bacteriological sensitivity into-vitro

time up to the drug-switch

time until the dismissal of the patients necessity of the gift of additional antibacterial drug

cost reduction of the antibiotic-therapy and the complete treatment

assessment of the effectiveness by the investigator
