Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female subjects, age 18 or older who have signed the form
  • Must have a qualifying community-acquired bacterial pneumonia
  • Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of enrollment
  • Must agree to a reliable method of during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known or suspected hospital-acquired pneumonia
  • Confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection
  • Evidence of significant immunological disease
  • Has a of less than or equal to 3 months or any concomitant condition that is likely to interfere with evaluation of the response of the infection under study, determination of AEs, or completion of the expected course of treatment
  • Has a history of , , or allergic reaction to any tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotic
  • Has received an drug within the past 30 days
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Early Clinical Response at the Early Clinical Response (ECR) Visit

    Early clinical response is defined as clinical success, categorized by survival with improvement of at least 1 level compared to Baseline in at least 2CABP symptoms (cough, sputum production, pleuritic chest pain, and dyspnea) with no worsening in CABP symptoms. Response is determined programmatically using investigator's assessment of the CABP symptoms. The severity of the participant's CABP symptoms was evaluated on a 4-point scale (absent, mild, moderate, or severe) based upon the CABP Subject Symptom Severity Guidance Framework for Investigator Assessment. An indeterminate response is defined as one that could not be adequately inferred because the participant was not assessed because they withdrew consent, or other specified reason. Clinical failure is defined as no improvement by at least 1 level in 2CABP symptoms, worsening of CABP symptom, alternative antibacterial treatment for CABP, discontinuation due to adverse event requiring alternative antibacterial treatment, or death

    Time frame: 72 to 120 hours after the first dose of test article

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Investigator Assessment of Clinical Response at the Post Therapy Evaluation (PTE) Visit

    At the PTE Visit, the investigator indicates one of the following outcomes relating to the primary infection under study: Clinical Success: survival after completion of a test article regimen without receiving any systemic antibacterial therapy other than test article, resolution of signs/symptoms of the infection present at Screening with no new symptoms/complications attributable to CABP and no need for further antibacterial therapy. Clinical Failure: alternative antibacterial treatment for CABP was required prior to the PTE Visit related to either (a) progression/development of new CABP symptoms or (b) development of infectious complications of CABP. Other reasons for clinical failure: participant received antibiotics that may have been effective for the infection under study for a different infection from the one under study; death prior to the PTE Visit. Indeterminate: the clinical response to test article could not be adequately inferred.

    Time frame: 5 to 10 days after the last dose of test article

  2. Percentage of Participants With the Indicated Investigator Assessment of Clinical Response in the Clinically Evaluable-Post Therapy Evaluation (CE-PTE) Population at the PTE Visit

    At the PTE Visit, the investigator indicates one of the following outcomes relating to the primary infection under study: Clinical Success: survival after completion of a test article regimen without receiving any systemic antibacterial therapy other than test article, resolution of signs/symptoms of the infection present at Screening with no new symptoms/complications attributable to CABP and no need for further antibacterial therapy. Clinical Failure: alternative antibacterial treatment for CABP was required prior to the PTE Visit related to either (a) progression/development of new CABP symptoms or (b) development of infectious complications of CABP. Other reasons for clinical failure: participant received antibiotics that may have been effective for the infection under study for a different infection from the one under study; death prior to the PTE Visit. Indeterminate: the clinical response to test article could not be adequately inferred.

Participant flow

This is a randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled study comparing Omadacycline and Moxifloxacin with participants with Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP). The randomization was stratified by Pneumonia Outcomes Research Team (PORT) Risk Class (III or IV), and receipt of an allowed antibacterial therapy in the 72 hours prior to study treatment.
