Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial to Evaluate Beta-Lactam Antimicrobial Therapy of Community Acquired Pneumonia in Children (NCT NCT02891915)

NCT ID: NCT02891915

Last Updated: 2021-02-03

Results Overview

DOOR is a composite endpoint created using clinical outcomes from the first 5 days and at Outcome Assessment Visit #1 (OAV #1). It is based on adequate clinical response at OAV #1, solicited symptoms from first 5 days and number of days of antibiotics use for worsening pneumonia from the first 5 days of the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Outcome Assessment Visit 1 (Study Day 8 +/- 2 days)

Population: Intent to Treat (ITT) Population: All randomized subjects that were still eligible on Day 1 of the study. Analysis of DOOR will use all subjects in the ITT population. Subjects with missing values of DOOR will have their values imputed. However, summaries of observed ordinal clinical response values presented below are based on complete data without imputation.

DOOR is a composite endpoint created using clinical outcomes from the first 5 days and at Outcome Assessment Visit #1 (OAV #1). It is based on adequate clinical response at OAV #1, solicited symptoms from first 5 days and number of days of antibiotics use for worsening pneumonia from the first 5 days of the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Outcome Assessment Visit 1 (Study Day 8 +/- 2 days)

Population: Complete Case at OAV #1. This population is made of subjects who were treated with at least one dose of study product, did not terminate early from the study before OAV #1, and completed OAV #1 with non-missing data for all DOOR components at OAV #1.

This table provides number and percentage of subjects who received non-study antibiotics for any reason from Day 1 to Day 5
