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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the non-inferiority of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) compared to meropenem with respect to clinical cure at the test of cure (TOC) visit (Day 21 - 25 from randomization) in patients in the clinically modified intent-to-treat (cMITT) population and patients in the clinically evaluable (CE) population.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The final study protocol, including the final version of the informed consent form and any other written information or materials provided to the patients was approved by an independent ethics committee (EC) and/or institutional review board (IRB). The investigator ensured the distribution of these documents to the applicable EC and to the study center personnel. This study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) harmonised tripartite guideline E6(R1) Good Clinical Practice (GCP), applicable regulatory requirements, and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics and Human Biological Samples.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Overall, 879 patients were randomized, from 4 geographic regions. The first patient was enrolled on 13 Apr. 2013 and the last patient last visit was on 07 Jan. 2016. Summary tables exclude 62 patients with moderate/severe renal impairment recruited prior to a protocol amendment to the dose regimen for such patients. 817 randomized and 808 treated.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After obtaining written informed consent patients underwent a preliminary evaluation for eligibility within the 24-hour period prior to initiation of IV study therapy. Eligible patients were randomized to 1 of 2 treatments in a 1:1 ratio according to the randomization schedule.

    End point description
    Per-patient "favorable" response indicates that all of the patient's baseline pathogens are "eradicated" or "presumed eradicated". Eradication is defined as: source specimen demonstrates absence of the original baseline pathogen. Presumed eradication is defined as: source specimen was not available to culture and the patient was assessed as a clinical cure.

    Per-patient "favorable" response indicates that all of the patient's baseline pathogens are "eradicated" or "presumed eradicated". Eradication is defined as: source specimen demonstrates absence of the original baseline pathogen. Presumed eradication is defined as: source specimen was not available to culture and the patient was assessed as a clinical cure.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Nonserious AEs and SAEs were collected for each patient from the time when informed consent was obtained at Screening (Day –1 to 0) through the final protocol follow-up (FPFU) visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs spontaneously reported by the patient or care provider or reported in response to the open question from the study center personnel, or revealed by observation were to be collected and recorded in the eCRF. Please note: “The section "total # of deaths resulting from adverse events" is for fatalities that are causally related to the treatment".
