Fluoroquinolone Associated Disability

January 28, 2019 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC
The purpose of this study is to: 1) describe drug utilization for Fluoroquinolone(FQ), Azithromycin (AZ) and Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim(ST) in the entire Truven MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database (CCAE) database, and specifically among individuals in the Health and Productivity Management (HPM) during the observation period; 2) describe the rate of disability associated with 2 or more System Organ Class adverse events (SOC AEs) and exposure to FQs for several acute, uncomplicated indications; and 3) compare the rates of disability for 2 or more SOC AEs and exposure to FQs and AZ/ST for the same indications.

Study Overview

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

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 to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population will include participants in the Truven Commercial Claims and Encounters (CCAE) database who were eligible for disability insurance and can be linked to the Truven HPM database. The study population will include individuals who had uncomplicated acute bacterial sinusitis, or bronchitis and were prescribed an oral fluoroquinolone (FQ) or oral azithromycin(AZ) and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (ST) for urinary tract infection.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants in the Truven CCAE database who were eligible for disability insurance and can be linked to the Truven Health and Productivity Management (HPM) database
  • Study participants will be included if they have 6 months of history before the first day on FQ or AZ/ST and at least 120 days afterward

Exclusion Criteria:

  • If any protocol specified medical conditions or exposure to the protocol specified medications in the 6 months preceding the first qualifying dose of FQ or AZ/ST
  • If participants have any disability claim in the 6 months preceding the qualifying FQ or AZ/ST dose
  • If participants have the protocol specified condition-specific diagnoses within the 3 months preceding the qualifying FQ or AZ/ST exposure

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Cohort 1: FQ With Uncomplicated Sinusitis or Bronchitis
A target cohort which includes participants exposed to an oral fluoroquinolone (FQ) with an occurrence start between 2007-01-01 and 2015-12-31 (inclusive) and are between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive). All participants must have continuous observation of at least 180 days prior and 120 days after event index date, and all events will be evaluated per participant. The members of the treatment groups will be linked to the Truven Health and Productivity Management (HPM) data set.
Drug: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)
Participants exposed to an oral FQ will be observed. The oral FQ included are Levofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Ofloxacin, Gemifloxacin. Participants will not receive any intervention as a part of this study.
Cohort 2: FQ With Uncomplicated Acute Urinary Tract Infection
A target cohort which includes participants exposed to an oral sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (ST) with a qualifying indication of uncomplicated acute urinary tract infection and an occurrence start between 2007-01-01 and 2015-12-31 (inclusive) and are between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive). All participants must have continuous observation of at least 180 days prior and 120 days after event index date, and all events will be evaluated per participant. The members of the comparator groups will be linked to the Truven HPM data set.
Drug: Fluoroquinolone (FQ)
Participants exposed to an oral FQ will be observed. The oral FQ included are Levofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Ofloxacin, Gemifloxacin. Participants will not receive any intervention as a part of this study.
Cohort 3: AZ with Uncomplicated Acute Sinusitis or Bronchitis

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with Disability in Temporal Proximity
Time Frame: Up to 120 days
Number of participants with disability in temporal proximity to 2 confirmed System Organ Class (SOC) adverse event (AEs) among the 6 of interest (peripheral nervous system, neuropsychiatric, musculoskeletal, sensory, cardiovascular, skin) will be reported. Disability is defined as an incident short-term disability claim in the Health and Productivity Management (HPM) database if it is observed within 120 days of the first Fluoroquinolone(FQ) or Azithromycin/ Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (AZ/ST) exposure.
