E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of Furamag 50 mg hard capsules (containing 50 mg of Furaginum solubile) in the treatment of microbiologically confirmed acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women taken 2 hard capsules three times a day (300 mg/day) for 5 days in comparison to the active comparator, Furantoina® 50 mg tablets (containing 50 mg of Nitrofurantoinum), taken 2 tablets three times a day (300 mg/day) for 5 days |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Furamag 50 mg hard capsules (containing 50 mg of Furaginum solubile) in the treatment of microbiologically confirmed acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women taken 2 hard capsules three times a day (300 mg/day) for 5 days in comparison to the active comparator, Furantoina® 50 mg tablets (containing 50 mg of Nitrofurantoinum), taken 2 tablets three times a day (300 mg/day) for 5 days |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Combined clinical and bacteriological response: Resolution of the symptoms of uUTI (clinical response) and demonstration that the true uropathogen found at randomization is reduced to less than 103 CFU/mL (bacteriological response) assessed at Visit 3 (Day 12 + 2 days) using the micro-ITT population. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• For efficacy (primary population is the micro-ITT population):
- Combined clinical and bacteriological response is evaluated at Visit 2 (Day 6 + 2 days) and at Visit 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days).
- Clinical response (assessed by UTISA) at further ancillary time points during treatment period (Days 2–5), at Visit 2 (Day 6 + 2 days), Visit 3 (Day 12+2 days) and at Visit 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days)
- Bacteriological response is evaluated at Visit 2 (Day 6 + 2 days), at Visit 3 (Day 12 + 2 days) and at Visit 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days).
• For safety (assessed using safety population): AEs, SAEs, CSIs, Safety laboratory values (blood tests and urinalysis), vital signs, and physical examination findings.
• For tolerability (assessed using safety population): Number of drug-related AEs/SAEs/CSIs. |
