E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of intravenous moxifloxacin 400 mg administered once daily with those of intravenous ertapenem 1 g once a day in adult subjects with cIAI that require surgery and parenteral antibiotic therapy
The primary efficacy variable for this trial is the clinical response 21 to 28 days after the completion of study drug therapy (Test of Cure visit). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary efficacy parameters are: • Clinical and bacteriological response on treatment Day 5 +/- 1. • Clinical and bacteriological response at the End-of-Therapy (EOT). • Bacteriological response at the TOC visit (21 28 days after EOT). • Clinical response at the TOC visit in subjects with a bacteriologically documented intra abdominal infection. • Mortality attributable to intra abdominal infections at the time of the TOC visit (21 to 28 days after EOT). • Duration of hospitalization (total days). • Duration of hospitalization postoperatively (days).

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects must meet all the following inclusion criteria: 1. Hospitalized men or women >/= 18 years of age. 2. Expected duration of treatment with intravenous antibiotics anticipated to be >/= 5 full days but not exceeding 14 days. 3. Ability to provide documented and signed written informed consent. 4. Confirmed or suspected intra abdominal infection defined as follows: . For a confirmed intra abdominal infection, a surgical procedure (laparotomy or laparoscopy) must have been performed within 24 hours prior to enrollment and reveal at least one of the following: • Gross peritoneal inflammation with purulent exudates (ie, peritonitis). • Intra abdominal abscess. • Macroscopic intestinal perforation with localized or diffuse peritonitis. . Subjects enrolled on the basis of a suspected intra abdominal infection must have: 1. Radiological evidence [abdominal plain films, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound] of gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess and 2. The following signs and symptoms: • Symptoms referable to the abdominal cavity (eg, anorexia, nausea, vomiting or pain), lasting for at least 24 hours. • Tenderness (with or without rebound), involuntary guarding, absent or diminished bowel sounds, or abdominal wall rigidity. • At least two of the following SIRS criteria (23): . Temperature > 38.0°C rectal or tympanic membrane, or temperature < 36.0°C rectal or tympanic. . Heart rate > 90/min. . Respiratory rate > 20/min. . WBC >12,000 cells/mm3 or < 4,000 cells/ mm3. and 3. The subject must be scheduled for a surgical procedure (laparotomy or laparoscopy) within 24 hours of enrollment of the study.
