A Randomized, Double-Blind, Comparative, Multi-Center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of TG-873870(Nemonoxacin) Versus Levofloxacin in Adult Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)

This study will test the safety and efficacy of TG-873870(Nemonoxacin) compared with Levofloxacin in adult patients with Community-Aquired Pneumonia(CAP)

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Community-acquired Pneumonia(CAP) remains a leading cause of death in both developing and developed countries. In the choice of antibacterial agents used to treat CAP, fluoroquinolones have received considerable attention because of their wide spectrum of bactericidal activity. TG-873870(Nemonoxacin), a non-fluorinated quinolone (NFQ), is a selective bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. This study will test the safety and efficacy of TG-873870(Nemonoxacin) compared with Levofloxacin in adult patients with Community-Aquired Pneumonia (CAP) .

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • If female, non-lactating and at no risk or pregnancy (post-menopausal or must use adequate birth control)
  • Must be a suitable candidate for oral antibiotic therapy and must be able to swallow capsules intact
  • Must have a clinical diagnosis of CAP based on clinical evidence
  • Must have a chest radiograph demonstrating new or persistent/progressive infiltrates
  • Must be able to produce sputum

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically significant conduction or other abnormality on 12-lead ECG, or QTc interval
  • Patients with CAP that, in the investigator's judgment, is severe enough to require hospitalization for intravenous antibiotic therapy and/or supplemental oxygen therapy with ICU support
  • Known or suspected severe bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, active pulmonary tuberculosis or infection with other mycobacteria or fungi, known bronchial obstruction, a history of post-obstructive pneumonia, other confounding respiratory diseases, such as lung cancer, malignancy metastatic to the lungs, lung abscess, empyema, suspected aspiration pneumonia due to vomiting, or non-bacterial respiratory infection (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] is not exclusionary)
  • Infection acquired in a hospital, nursing home, or other long-term care facility, or hospitalization for any reason within the previous 14 days
  • Treatment with any antibiotics within the past 7 days prior to randomization, unless documents to be a treatment failure(72 hours treatment and not responding)
  • Anticipation of the requirement for additional treatment with non-study antibacterials for any reason during the patient's participation in the study
  • Treatment with chemotherapeutic agents or oncolytics during the 6 months prior to randomization or anticipated requirement for such agents during the course of the study
  • Known or suspected CNS disorder that may predispose the patient to seizures or lower the seizure threshold

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Safety evaluation
Clinical Cure Rate

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
