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   44208   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety of treatment with moxifloxacin (compared to the safety of intravenous (IV) ertapenem followed by per oral (PO) amoxicillin/clavulanate).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent form was read by and explained to all subjects and/or their legally authorized representative. Participating subjects and/or their legally authorized representative signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    The study was conducted at multicenter between 21 July 2010 (first subject first visit) to 21 January 2015 (last subject last visit).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Overall 478 subjects were enrolled, 20 subjects had screening failures hence, 458 subjects were randomized to receive treatment.

    Subjects randomized to the moxifloxacin arm of this study received intravenous moxifloxacin plus ertapenem placebo (0.9 % sodium chloride [NaCl solution]) for a minimum of 3 days and, if switched to oral treatment, PO moxifloxacin plus PO amoxicillin/clavulanate placebo. Total treatment duration is 5-14 days.

    For subjects 12 to less than (<) 18 years of age and weighing at least 45 kilograms (kg), the dose of moxifloxacin will be 400 milligrams (mg), once daily (OD). Subjects 12 to < 18 years of age and weighing less than 45 kg, the dose of moxifloxacin will be 4 mg/kg twice daily (BID), every 12 hours (q12h), not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 6 to < 12 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 4mg/kg, q12h, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 2 to less than 6 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 5mg/kg, q12h, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 3 months to less than 2 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 6mg/kg q12h IV, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects who were switched from IV to PO therapy, 400 mg or 50 mg moxifloxacin tablets were provided. Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution intended for IV use was used as the placebo for IV moxifloxacin. Tablets containing inactive ingredients were used as the placebo for PO moxifloxacin 400 mg and 50 mg tablets.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline period included only the treated subjects. Due to screen failure, not all enrolled subjects were randomized and treated with study drugs.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Feb 2010
    1. The sample size was increased from 300 to 450 patients. 2. Stratification of subjects by age was added to the protocol which allows a statistical analysis by age group. 3. A yearly follow-up up to 5 years after EOT was added if a musculoskeletal event has not resolved by the 1-Year Follow-up visit. This extended follow-up should ensure that subjects with unresolved musculoskeletal AEs are followed until resolution of the AE. 4. The list of drugs that might induce QTc prolongation and are therefore not allowed to be co-administered with moxifloxacin was expanded. 5. ECG measurement and interpretation of the results are explained in more detail. 6. Several additional examples of musculoskeletal related adverse events suggested by the FDA were added to the protocol. 7. The consistency of the descriptions of the musculoskeletal clinical and questionnaire assessments at different time points was improved. 8. Text describing how AEs which occur within 7 days of the EOT visit will be assessed and documented was added to the protocol.
    30 Aug 2011
    1. Inclusion and exclusion criteria changed. 2. Post-study therapy description amended. 3. Schedule of procedures amended to clarify procedures during Pre-treatment and During therapy periods of the study. 4. Various editorial changes, minor error correction and clarification were included in amendment 3, as well as revising the format for displaying the literature references.
    07 Aug 2012
    1. Clarifications with regards to ECG recordings as well as use of prior and concomitant medication that may influence QT interval have been added. 2. Clarification on when a premature termination visit is required has been added. 3. The possibility to contact patients by phone in case the do not return for follow-up visits has been introduced. 4. Various editorial changes, minor error correction and clarification were included in amendment 4.
    29 Jan 2013
    1. Clarifications were made regarding dosing for children 3 months to less than 2 years of age.
    29 Jan 2013
    1. Temporal artery was added as a method of body temperature measurement in addition to oral, rectal, and tympanic as this is commonly used in some countries. 2. The reporting period for adverse events (AEs, SAEs, including “Hy’s Law” cases, and deaths) was changed from 7 days following EOT to the TOC visit as agreed to with the European Medicines Agency in the pediatric investigational plan. 3. The definition of significant renal impairment was modified to be consistent with the definition used in IV ertapenem comparator studies. 4. Quinolones have been excluded from allowed pre- and perioperative antibiotic treatment within 12 months prior to study entry. 5. Examination of the Achilles and patellar tendons was added to the skilled musculoskeletal assessment as recommended by an external expert. 6. Specific time points for the measurement of vital signs were added as recommended by the FDA. 7. The wording of the skilled musculoskeletal assessment questionnaire procedure was modified to refer to the correct visit. 8. Documentation of treatment of musculoskeletal AEs was added to be consistent with the CRF.
