A Safety and Efficacy Study of Doripenem in Participants With Nosocomial Pneumonia, Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections and Urinary Tract Infections

Janssen-Cilag Ltd.,Thailand270 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of doripenem in participants with nosocomial pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs in which the lungs become heavy; pneumonia occurring at least 48 hours after hospital admission), complicated intra-abdominal (in belly) infections and complicated urinary tract infections (bladder infections).

This is an open-label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center) study, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of doripenem in treating Thai participants with nosocomial pneumonia, complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections. The study consists of 4 visits: Visit 1 (Baseline), Visit 2 (End-of-Treatment \[EOT\], up to Day 14), Visit 3 (Phone visit, Test-of-Cure \[TOC\], up to Day 14 after EOT) and Visit 4 (Phone visit, Day 90). Participants will receive 500 milligram (mg) of doripenem as intravenous infusion (directly into the vein) every 8 hours for at least 3 days after clinical response and extended up to 14 days. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by determination of clinical response. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Number of Participants Discontinued Because of AEs

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a pharmaceutical product. An adverse event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. The number of participants discontinued because of AEs were also reported.

Time frame: Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at End-of-Treatment (EOT)

Clinical response was defined as cure, improvement, failure and indeterminate. Cure=All signs/symptoms resolved/improved/lack of progression of all abnormalities; Improvement=Signs/symptoms of disease improved/resolved/ no modification in antibiotic therapy required \& no worsening/appearance of new signs \& symptoms of disease; Failure=Persistence or worsening of signs/symptoms of disease or emergence of new signs/symptoms and require any other antimicrobial therapy; and Indeterminate=Insufficient data for treatment evaluation. 2 subjects were lost to follow-up.

Time frame: Up to Day 14 (EOT)

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at Test-of-Cure (TOC)

Clinical response was defined as cure, improvement, failure and indeterminate. Cure=All signs/symptoms resolved/improved/lack of progression of all abnormalities; Improvement=Signs/symptoms of disease improved/resolved/ no modification in antibiotic therapy required and no worsening/appearance of new signs \& symptoms of disease; Failure=Persistence or worsening of signs/symptoms of disease or emergence of new signs/symptoms \& require any other antimicrobial therapy; \& Indeterminate=Insufficient data for treatment evaluation. The TOC visit (up to Day 14 after EOT) was conducted by phone. Participants who were assessed as cure or improvement at EOT will be evaluated for clinical response at TOC (up to Day 14 after EOT).

Time frame: Up to Day 14 after End-of-Treatment (EOT)

Number of Participants With 90-day Mortality

Number of Participants with 90-day mortality was defined as the number of participants who died by Day 90.

Time frame: up to Day 90
