Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of DPK-060 to Investigate Clinical Safety and Efficacy in Patients With Acute External Otitis (NCT NCT01447017)

NCT ID: NCT01447017

Last Updated: 2013-12-10

Results Overview

AEs were collected by a non-leading question such as "have you experienced any new health problems or worsening of existing conditions" as well as reporting events directly observed or spontaneously volunteered by patients. All AEs including but not limited to events reported by the patient, or reported in answer to an open question by the Investigator or member of the study team were recorded as an AE including the following information: Diagnosis; Start date (and time, if relevant), Stop date (and time, if relevant) or resolution; Severity; Action taken; Causality; Seriousness; Outcome.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: AEs occurring during the treatment period were collected on day 8 or 11, as applicable. Four weeks after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP), previously reported AEs were followed up and assessed as "recovered" or "not recovered".

Population: All safety analyses were performed on safety analysis set. All randomised patients who received at least 1 dose of the IMP and had at least 1 safety follow-up performed were included in the safety analysis set.

AEs were collected by a non-leading question such as "have you experienced any new health problems or worsening of existing conditions" as well as reporting events directly observed or spontaneously volunteered by patients. All AEs including but not limited to events reported by the patient, or reported in answer to an open question by the Investigator or member of the study team were recorded as an AE including the following information: Diagnosis; Start date (and time, if relevant), Stop date (and time, if relevant) or resolution; Severity; Action taken; Causality; Seriousness; Outcome.
