A Safety and Tolerability Study of Doripenem Compared With Cefepime in Children Hospitalized With Complicated Urinary Tract Infections
July 2, 2014 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC
A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study to Establish the Safety and Tolerability of Doripenem Compared With Cefepime in Hospitalized Children With Complicated Urinary Tract Infections
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared to cefepime in children hospitalized with complicated urinary tract infections.

Detailed Description
This is a randomized (study assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the name of the assigned study drugs), double-dummy (all patients are given both a placebo [salt solution] and study drug in alternating periods of time during the study), active comparator-controlled (compare the 'test' treatment to standard-of-care therapy), multinational, multicenter study to establish the safety and tolerability of the antibiotic doripenem compared with the antibiotic cefepime administered by intravenous (iv) infusion (slow injection of drug solution into the vein over a period of time) in children ages 3 months to less than 18 years hospitalized with a complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI).
The study includes 3 periods: a pretreatment (screening) period that will occur within 2 days prior to randomization (assignment of study drug); a treatment period of 10 to 14 days where the patients will receive study drug treatment, and a posttreatment period consisting of 2 study visits.
The maximum duration of study drug therapy is 14 days.
The total duration of the study is approximately 7 to 8 weeks for each patient.
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by examining the incidence, severity, and type of adverse events, changes in clinical laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and findings from physical examinations that are recorded as adverse events during treatment and at each posttreatment visit.
An independent monitoring committee (IDMC) will be established for this study to ensure that the safety of patients is not compromised.
The IDMC will consist of individuals who are not associated with the conduct of the study, and will include but will not be limited to individuals with expertise relevant to the care of pediatric patients, and including at least one infectious disease physician and at least one statistician.
IV study drug therapy (Cefepime [50mg/kg up to 2g/dose] and doripenem placebo or doripenem [20mg/kg up to 500mg/dose] and cefepime placebo will be administered once every 8 hours for up to 14 days.
After receiving a minimum of 3 days of IV study drug therapy, patients may be discharged from the hospital and continue PO antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium, ciprofloxacin, or alternative antibiotic therapy.
