E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Prevention of local site infections in patients requiring central venous and/or arterial catheterization and/or peripherally inserted central venous catheterization (PICC). |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary objectives:
1. To demonstrate the effectiveness of omiganan 1.0% gel compared to 10% povidone-iodine in preventing local catheter site infections (LCSI) in patients requiring at least one central venous catheter. LCSI will be determined by a blinded Evaluation Committee (EC). The primary efficacy endpoint is the incidence of LCSI prior to study discharge (at early termination, removal of the final study catheter, or study Day 28) among survivors in the modified intent-to-treat (MITT) analysis set.
2. To obtain additional safety data for omiganan 1.0% gel. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
All secondary efficacy endpoints will be determined by the blinded EC. Secondary efficacy endpoints will be analyzed using the MITT analysis set unless otherwise noted. Comparisons between treatment groups of the following incidences will be made as secondary efficacy endpoint analyses: - clinically diagnosed LCSI or death - clinically diagnosed LCSI in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set - microbiologically-confirmed LCSI - catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) - bloodstream infections (BSI) - catheter colonization
LCSI, CRBSI, BSI and catheter colonization will be tabulated by pathogen and by total catheter days. All primary and secondary endpoints will additionally be analyzed in the per protocol analysis set making the same comparisons as described for the MITT set. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
All of the following criteria must be met for a patient to be eligible for the study:
1. New insertion of at least 1 noncuffed (nontunneled) temporary central venous catheter within 4 hours of randomization and for which the insertion site was disinfected using 10% povidone iodine for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to catheter placement. If a PICC and/or arterial catheter are placed within 30 minutes prior to the insertion of the first study CVC, they can also be considered study catheters assuming their insertion sites were prepared with povidone-iodine. PICC and arterial lines placed within 30 minutes prior to the insertion of the first study CVC should not be designated as study catheters until after the study CVC has been inserted.
2. Pre-existing non-study CVC, PICC and/or arterial catheters in place at the time of the first study CVC placement must be removed within 8 hours of their respective insertion(s).
3. Males and females of at least 13 years of age.
4. A negative urine or serum pregnancy test at baseline in women of child bearing potential.
5. Able to provide signed informed consent. If less than 18 years of age, written consent from both the patient and a legal guardian must be obtained. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following are met:
1. CVC (proposed study catheter) in place for greater than 4 hours of randomization.
2. Insertion of, or requirement for, any study catheter impregnated/bonded with an antimicrobial substance.
3. High probability of death within 14 days of enrollment as assessed by the Investigator.
4. Prior treatment with vancomycin (intravenous administration only), daptomycin, linezolid, or quinupristin/dalfopristin within 48 hours of first study catheter insertion or prior treatment with Tigecycline within one week of first study catheter insertion.
5. Requirement for topical antibiotic use within 10 cm of any study catheterization site.
6. Known severe neutropenia (ANC <500 mm3) or recent administration of antineoplastic therapy expected to result in severe neutropenia within 48 hours of first study catheter insertion.
7. Routine non-complicated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, bone marrow transplant (BMT) or solid organ transplant (SOT) patients.
8. Patients who have been treated with any investigational drug within the previous 30 days.
9. Patients who are participating in an investigational drug study at any time during the course of this study.
10. Patients anticipated to be catheterized for less than 48 hours.
11. Patients who have a suspected or known bloodstream infection at enrollment.
12. Burn patients or patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis.
13. History of sensitivity to any ingredients in the study drugs.
14. Known allergy to adhesive tape or adhesive bandages.
15. Any evidence or history of illicit intravenous drug use within 4 weeks prior to the study, unless a transesophageal ultrasound has ruled out infective endocarditis
16. A medical condition that the Investigator believes may interfere with the safety of the patient or the intent and conduct of the study (such as severe eczema, psoriasis and/or dermal infections that would interfere with assessment of study endpoints).
17. Pregnant , lactating or breastfeeding women. |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Incidence of LCSI prior to study discharge (early termination, removal of last catheter, or study Day 28) among survivors in the MITT analysis set. The hypotheses being tested are: H1 - Among surviving patients, the incidence of clinically diagnosed LCSI is lower in the omiganan group than in the control group. H2 - There is no difference between the omiganan group an the control group in the incidence of clinically diagnosed LCSI in surviving patients. The presence or absence of clinically diagnosed LCSI will be determined by a blinded EC according to predertermined standards. Patients will be judged to be either a success (free of LCSI), failure (LCSI), or indeterminate (LCSI cannot be ruled out). Indeterminate or missing outcomes will be analyzed as treatment failures. The EC will take into account scores of erythema and edema (assessed and graded using a 2-part modified Draize scale) and purulence (assessed using a quantitative scoring system); the presence or absence of an abnormally warm temperature; the presence or absence of pain/tenderness at the insertion site; and the results of microbiological cultures. Patients who die during the study period will be excluded from this analysis. |
