Trial Outcomes & Findings for BAY12-8039: 5 Days for Sinusitis vs Placebo (NCT NCT00492024)

NCT ID: NCT00492024

Last Updated: 2013-11-26

Results Overview

The primary efficacy variable was clinical response (CR) at the TOC visit, and was rated as improvement, complete resolution, failure, or indeterminate. Clinical cure, ie, success, was defined as complete resolution or improvement in the signs and symptoms such that no further therapy (antimicrobial, steroid, or irrigation) was required.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 37 investigative centers in the United States from January 2005 to March 2008.

Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT): Subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug with a baseline sinus culture positive for at least 1 of 5 common bacteria that cause sinusitis (73 moxifloxacin \[M\], 45 placebo \[P\]). Per protocol (PP): Subjects with a positive baseline culture (as above) meeting a long list of additional criteria (62 M, 42 P).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 'Test-of-Cure' (TOC), Day 1-5 after end of treatment

Population: The modified intent-to-treat (MITT) population was the primary analysis population. This population includes all subjects treated with at least one dose of study medication, and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism.

The primary efficacy variable was clinical response (CR) at the TOC visit, and was rated as improvement, complete resolution, failure, or indeterminate. Clinical cure, ie, success, was defined as complete resolution or improvement in the signs and symptoms such that no further therapy (antimicrobial, steroid, or irrigation) was required.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Daily until 'Test-Of-Cure' (Day 1-5 after end of treatment)

Population: The MITT population was the primary analysis population. This population includes all subjects treated with at least one dose of study medication, and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism.

The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-16) was used to assess subject-reported time to symptom improvement. Improvement was defined as a decrease of at least 14 units on the test. This difference is the smallest difference that has been identified as beneficial to subjects.

Population: The MITT population was the primary analysis population. This population includes all subjects treated with at least one dose of study medication, and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism.

The Activity Impairment Assessment (AIA) questionnaire was used to assess activity impairment at baseline and time to return to normal activities. The AIA was administered prior to first dose, every 24 hours during treatment, and at the TOC visit. Improvement in the AIA total score was defined as a decrease of at least 3 units.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 3 of treatment

Population: The MITT population was the primary analysis population. This population includes all subjects treated with at least one dose of study medication, and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism. Missing responses at during therapy visit in most cases was due to early clinical failure.

A secondary efficacy variable was clinical response (CR) at the During Therapy visit at day 3 or 4 of treatment. CR was rated as improvement, cure, failure, or indeterminate. Clinical evaluation was based on the presence and severity (mild, moderate, or severe) of several signs and symptoms of acute sinusitis.

Population: The MITT population was the primary analysis population. This population includes all subjects treated with at least one dose of study medication, and who have at least one pre-treatment causative organism.

A secondary efficacy variable was clinical response (CR) at the Follow-up visit 17-21 days following the start of treatment. CR was rated as continued cure, failure/relapse, or indeterminate. Clinical evaluation was based on the presence and severity (mild, moderate, or severe) of several signs and symptoms of acute sinusitis.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: At 'Test-of-Cure', Day 1-5 after end of treatment

Population: This analysis population was per protocol population, which included all subjects with at least one pre-treatment causative organism, and who had no major deviations from the protocol procedures.

The primary efficacy variable was clinical response (CR) at the TOC visit, and was rated as improvement, complete resolution, failure, or indeterminate. Clinical cure, ie, success, was defined as complete resolution or improvement in the signs and symptoms such that no further therapy (antimicrobial, steroid, or irrigation) was required.
