The Study of Unasyn-S 12g/Day for Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)

July 9, 2012 updated by: Pfizer

A Multicenter, Unblinded, Non-Comparative Study Of Unasyn-S 12 G/Day Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy In Japanese Adult Subjects With Community Acquired Pneumonia

Unasyn-S 12g/day (3 g four times a day) is the commonly used dosage depending on the severity for US, EU, China, Taiwan and Korea for over 20 years, however, Unasyn-S 12g/day has not yet been approved in Japan. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety in Japanese adult subjects with community acquired pneumonia receiving ampicillin sodium/sulbactam sodium, 12g/day (3 g four times a day ) IV.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response Rate (Clinical Response, Data Review Committee Assessment)
Time Frame: End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
Response rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as effective" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.
End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response Rate (Clinical Response, Investigator Assessment)
Time Frame: End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
Response rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as effective" over "total participants EXCLUDING ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.
End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
The Tendency Toward Clinical Improvement (Investigator Assessment)
Time Frame: Day 4
The number of participants who showed tendency toward clinical improvement based on the assessment of temperature, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, clinical symptoms on Day 4 and was determined to continue the treatment.
Day 4
Eradication Rate (Bacteriological Response, Data Review Committee Assessment)
Time Frame: Day 4, End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as eradication, presumed eradication or microbial substitution" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100. Microbial substitution means the appearance of new pathogens other than the original pathogens in a specimen from the same location with signs and symptoms of infection after the original pathogens were eradicated by treatment.
Day 4, End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
Eradication Rate (Bacteriological Response, Investigator Assessment)
Time Frame: Day 4, End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as eradication , presumed eradication or microbial substitution" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100. Microbial substitution means the appearance of new pathogens other than the original pathogens in a specimen from the same location with signs and symptoms of infection after the original pathogens were eradicated by treatment.
Day 4, End of treatment, Test of cure (7 days after End of treatment), Long term follow up (7 days after Test of cure)
