Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the efficacy and safety of telavancin to vancomycin in the treatment of adults with Gram-positive hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) with an emphasis on patients with infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To pool the data from this study with those from a second study of identical design
    (protocol 0019) and to assess the superiority of telavancin to vancomycin in patients
    with MRSA infection.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients who meet all of the following criteria will be eligible for study enrollment.

    1. Male and female patients ≥ 18 years old.
    2. Clinical signs and symptoms consistent with pneumonia acquired after at least
    48 hours of continuous stay in an inpatient acute or chronic-care facility, or acquired
    within 7 days after being discharged from a hospitalization of ≥ 3 days duration.
    3. A chest radiograph with findings consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia (new or
    progressive infiltrates, consolidation, or pleural effusion) within 48 hours prior to
    randomization in the study.
    4. Availability of appropriate respiratory or sputum specimens for Gram stain and
    culture, and venous access for IV dosing.
    5. Willing to receive IV therapy for the duration of treatment.
    6. Informed consent can be obtained for participation in this study as defined by the
    local Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Patients who satisfy any of the following criteria are not eligible for study enrollment.

    1. a) Received more than 24 hours of potentially effective systemic (IV/IM or PO)
    antibiotic therapy for Gram-positive pneumonia immediately prior to randomization, (unless documented to be a treatment
    failure or if the isolated pathogen for the current pneumonia was resistant in vitro
    to previous treatment), and/or b) Requires non-study systemic antibiotic potentially effective against the baseline pathogen for another reason during the study
    2. Respiratory tract specimens or sputum with only Gram-negative bacteria seen on
    Gram stain or culture.
    3. Known infection with MSSA or S. pneumoniae and patient will require more than
    24 hours of concomitant study medication therapy with an antibiotic for Gram-negative coverage that has activity versus MSSA or S. pneumoniae (e.g., piperacillin-tazobactam).
    4. Known or suspected pulmonary disease that precludes evaluation of therapeutic
    response (e.g., granulomatous diseases, lung cancer, or another malignancy metastatic to the lungs); cystic fibrosis or active tuberculosis.
    5. Known or suspected Legionella pneumophila pneumonia.
    6. Known or suspected infection with an organism that is not susceptible to medications permitted by the protocol should be excluded.
    7. Documented or suspected meningitis, endocarditis, or osteomyelitis.
    8. Refractory shock defined as supine systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg for > 2 hours despite adequate fluid resuscitation, with evidence of hypoperfusion or requirement for sympathomimetic agents to maintain blood pressure.
    9. Baseline QTc > 500 msec, congenital long QT syndrome, uncompensated heart
    failure, or uncorrected abnormal K+ or Mg++ blood levels that cannot be corrected.
    10. Severely neutropenic (absolute neutrophil count < 500/mm³) or anticipated to
    develop severe neutropenia during the study treatment period due to prior or planned chemotherapy, or have HIV with CD4 count < 100/mm³ during the last 6 months
    11. Requirement for concomitant administration of intravenous Sporanox® (itraconazole)
    or Vfend® (voriconazole), Geodon® (ziprasidone), or any other medication containing a cyclodextrin solubilizer
    12. a) Female patients of childbearing potential if they are pregnant, nursing, or unable to use a highly effective method of birth control during the study and for at least one complete menstrual cycle following the last dose of study medication. A negative serum
    pregnancy result must be documented prior to treatment. A highly effective
    method of birth control is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e., < 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence, or a vasectomized partner.
    b) Male patients must agree to use medically acceptable birth control for a least
    three months following last dose of study medication. A vasectomy or a condom
    used with a spermicide is a medically acceptable birth control method for males.
    13. Prior enrollment in a clinical trial of telavancin.
    14. Known hypersensitivity to, or intolerance of, study medications or their formulation excipients.
    15. Treatment with another investigational medication within 30 days of study entry
    16. Considered unlikely to survive at least 7 days due to underlying illness
    17. Considered unlikely to comply with the study procedures or to return for scheduled post-treatment evaluations.
    18. Any other condition that in the opinion of an investigator, would confound or interfere with evaluation of safety or efficacy of the investigational medication, or prevent compliance with the study protocol.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint is the clinical response at the Test-of-Cure evaluation. For purpose of analysis, assessments of “failure” at End-of-Therapy will be carried forward to Test-of-Cure.
