Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Safety,Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of CAZ-AVI With Metronidazole in Children Aged 3 Months to 18 Years Old With Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections (cIAIs). (NCT NCT02475733)

NCT ID: NCT02475733

Last Updated: 2018-08-09

Results Overview

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs were events between first dose of study drug and up to late follow-up (LFU) visit (20 to 35 days after last dose of study treatment \[IV or oral\]) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAE and non-SAE.

Ceftazidime- Avibactam (CAZ-AVI) Plus Metronidazole
Participants with Creatinine clearance(CrCL) \>=50 milliliter per minute (mL/min) received 10 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous(IV) infusion of metronidazole over 20 to 30 minutes along with 2 hour IV infusion of CAZ/AVI in following manner: 1)Age 6 to less than(\<)18 years: 2000 mg CAZ/500 mg AVI (body weight \>=40 kg), 50 mg/kg CAZ/12.5 mg/kg AVI (body weight \<40 kg), 2) Age 6 months to \<6 years: 50 mg/kg CAZ/12.5 mg/kg AVI, 3)Age 3 months to \<6 months: 40 mg/kg CAZ/10 mg/kg AVI. Both infusions were administered to participants every 8 hours for a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum duration of 15 days. Dose of CAZ-AVI was drops below to 50% if CrCl of participant drops below to 50mL/min, and participant was removed from study therapy, if CrCl decreased below 30mL/min. After having 72 hours of IV treatment, participants had option to switch to an oral therapy at investigator's discretion.
Meropenem
Participants received 15 to 30 minutes IV infusion of meropenem 20 mg/kg every 8 hours for a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum duration of 15 days. After having 72 hours of IV treatment, participants had option to switch to an oral therapy at the investigator's discretion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline until the LFU visit (up to a maximum study duration of 50 days)

Population: Safety analysis set included all randomized participants who received any amount of IV study medication (CAZ-AVI plus Metronidazole or Meropenem).

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

Population: Safety analysis set included all randomized participants who received any amount of IV study medication (CAZ-AVI plus Metronidazole or Meropenem).

Physical examination included an assessment of the following: general appearance, skin, head and neck (including ears, eyes, nose and throat), lymph nodes, thyroid, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, abdomen, musculoskeletal system (including spine and extremities), and neurological system. Participants with new or aggravated abnormal physical examination findings with regard to baseline findings were reported. Abnormality in physical examinations were based on blinded observer's discretion. EOIV visit occurred within 24 hours after completion of last infusion of the study drug.
