Condition(s) targeted: Pneumonia

Intervention: Amikacin (BAY41-6551) (Drug); Amikacin (BAY41-6551) (Drug); Placebo (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Bayer

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Bayer Study Director, Study Director, Affiliation: Bayer

Summary

This study is part of a research program too see if amikacin delivered as an aerosol directly to the lungs in combination with IV antibiotic therapy can help intubated patients with gram-negative pneumonia get better faster than when given intravenous antibiotics alone. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the correct dose of amikacin which is delivered directly to the lungs as an aerosol via an investigational device called the Pulmonary Delivery Device System (PDDS).

Clinical Details

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group, Phase II Dose-Ranging Study of Nebulized Amikacin Delivered Via the Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS) in Ventilated Patients With Nosocomial Pneumonia Due to Gram Negative Organisms

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Proportion of patients who achieve a C(max) for amikacin in tracheal aspirates at least 25 times greater than the reference MIC for hospital-acquired organisms and an AUC (0-24 hr) / MIC ratio that is 100 or greater on Day 1

Secondary outcome:

Mean C(max) and mean AUC of amikacin in tracheal aspirates

Mean ratio of C (max) / MIC and mean ratio of AUC (0-24 hr) / MIC

Clinical cure rate

Microbiological eradication rate of identified pathogens

Microbiological persistence rate

New infection rate

Assessment of adverse events related to drug or device

Assessment of abnormal laboratory values

Eligibility
