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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A single blind, randomised, multi-centre, active controlled, trial to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ceftazidime and avibactam when given in combination with metronidazole, compared with meropenem, in children from 3 months to less than 18 years of age with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ceftazidime and avibactam (CAZ-AVI) plus metronidazole is given at the selected dose regimen versus meropenem in paediatric subjects aged greater than or equal to (>=)3 months to less than (<)18 years with cIAI
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trials subjects were followed.

    Arm description
    Subjects with Creatinine clearance(CrCL) >=50 milliliter per minute (mL/min) received 10 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous(IV) infusion of metronidazole over 20 to 30 minutes along with 2 hour IV infusion of CAZ/AVI in following manner: 1)Age 6 to less than(<)18 years: 2000 mg CAZ/500 mg AVI (body weight >=40 kg), 50 mg/kg CAZ/12.5 mg/kg AVI (body weight <40 kg), 2) Age 6 months to <6 years: 50 mg/kg CAZ/12.5 mg/kg AVI, 3)Age 3 months to <6 months: 40 mg/kg CAZ/10 mg/kg AVI. Both infusions were administered to subjects every 8 hours for a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum duration of 15 days. Dose of CAZ-AVI was reduced to 50% if CrCl of subject decreased to <=50mL/min, and subject was removed from study therapy, if CrCl decreased below 30mL/min. After having 72 hours of IV treatment, subjects had option to switch to an oral therapy at investigator's discretion.

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to late follow-up (LFU) visit (Within 20 to 35 days after last dose of any study drug [IV or oral]) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAE and non-SAE. Safety analysis set included all randomized subjects who received any amount of IV study medication.

    End point description
    Physical examination included an assessment of the following: general appearance, skin, head and neck (including ears, eyes, nose and throat), lymph nodes, thyroid, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, abdomen, musculoskeletal system (including spine and extremities), and neurological system. Subjects with new or aggravated abnormal physical examination findings with regard to baseline findings were reported. Abnormality in physical examinations were based on blinded observer’s discretion. EOIV visit occurred within 24 hours after completion of last infusion of the study drug. Safety analysis set included all randomized subjects who received any amount of IV study medication.

    Percentage of Subjects With Clinical Relapse at Late Follow-up (LFU) Visit: Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population
    End point description
    A subject was said to have clinical relapse if met either 1 of the following criteria: reappearance or worsening of signs and symptoms of cIAI that required further antimicrobial therapy and/or surgery, or death after TOC in which cIAI was contributory. LFU visit occurred within 27 to 50 days after start of study treatment (IV or oral). CE analysis population included randomized subjects with cIAI who received study medication for >=48h and clinical failure or clinical failure with treatment limiting AE and subjects with >=72h treatment and favorable clinicial response. Here, number of subjects analyzed=subjects who were evaluable for this measure.

    Percentage of Subjects With Emergent Infections: Microbiological Intent-to-treat (Micro-ITT) Population
    End point description
    Emergent infections were categorized as super infections and new infections. Superinfection: An intra-abdominal culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen during the course of active treatment with study therapy along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. New infection: An intra-abdominal culture identified pathogen other than a baseline pathogen at any time after study treatment had finished along with worsening signs and symptoms of infection requiring alternative antimicrobial therapy. Subjects with any (super infections or new infections) of the infections were reported. Subjects with any (super infections or new infections) of the infections were reported. Micro-ITT analysis population included all randomized subjects who had a baseline pathogen known to cause cIAI.

    Meropenem
    Reporting group description
    Subjects received 15 to 30 minutes IV infusion of meropenem 20 mg/kg every 8 hours for a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum duration of 15 days. After having 72 hours of IV treatment, subjects had option to switch to an oral therapy at the investigator's discretion.

    Reporting group title
    Ceftazidime- Avibactam (CAZ-AVI) plus Metronidazole
    Reporting group description
    Subjects with CrCL >=50 mL/min received 2-hour IV infusion of 2000 mg CAZ/500 mg AVI (subjects with body weight >=40 kg) or 50 mg/kg CAZ/12.5 mg/kg AVI (subjects with body weight <40 kg), followed by 10 mg/kg metronidazole IV infusion over 20 to 30 minutes. Both infusions were administered to subjects every 8 hours for a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum duration of 15 days. Dose of CAZ-AVI was reduced to 50 percent, if the CrCl of subject decreased to <=50 mL/min, and subject was removed from study therapy, if CrCl decreased below 30 mL/min. After having 72 hours of IV treatment, subjects had option to switch to an oral therapy at the investigator's discretion.
