505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Doxycycline

| New Combination | NCT00694694 ↗ | Azithromycin + Artesunate v Artemether-lumefantrine in Uncomplicated Malaria. | Completed | National Institute for Medical Research, Tanzania | Phase 3 | 2008-06-01 | This trial sets out to determine whether the combination of azithromycin and artesunate (AZ+AS) is as good as the current standard treatment for uncomplicated malaria in Tanzania, artemether-lumefantrine (AL). There are two reasons this is important 1. there are only a limited range of drug combinations which work against malaria in this area of Tanzania 2. azithromycin has antimalarial properties, but is also a broad-spectrum antibiotic, so if the combination is an effective antimalarial it might have a place where there are no diagnostic facilities as syndromic treatment for fever. Artesunate and azithromycin have both been used alone or in combination with other drugs in children in Tanzania for many years, and are considered safe. There is trial evidence for the effectiveness of this combination in adults in Asia, as well as in-vitro (laboratory) evidence that it works against the malaria parasite. The trial randomizes children with non-severe malaria to the new combination AZ+AS or the standard care arm AL. The primary outcome is the parasitological failure rate by day 28- meaning do malaria parasites get cleared, and stay cleared for at least 28 days. Secondary outcomes include safety. |

All Clinical Trials for Doxycycline
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00000403 ↗ | Doxycycline and OA Progression | Completed | National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) | Phase 3 | 1996-09-01 | This study will determine whether doxycycline decreases the severity or rate of progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most popular agents used to treat OA, but elderly women, in whom OA is especially common, are at greatest risk of developing serious side effects from NSAIDs. Our study targets overweight middle-aged women who have OA in one knee. Half of the 432 study participants will receive the treatment (doxycycline) and half will receive a placebo (inactive pill). Treatment with doxycycline (or placebo) will last 30 months, and participants and researchers will not know who is receiving doxycycline and who is receiving placebo until the end of the study. We will look for narrowing of the joint space in the knee that was not affected by OA at the start of the study. Joint space narrowing is a sign of OA. We will also use questionnaires to evaluate participants' symptoms and functioning. |

| NCT00000938 ↗ | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline in the Treatment of Patients With Seronegative Chronic Lyme Disease | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | Phase 3 | 1969-12-31 | Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. It is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. It may exist in a chronic form and be the result of: 1) persistent infection by B. burgdorferi; 2) damage caused by the original infectious process; or 3) the presence of coinfection with another organism transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness, in seronegative patients, of intensive antibiotic treatment in eliminating symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD). |
| NCT00001101 ↗ | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline in the Treatment of Patients With Seropositive Chronic Lyme Disease | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | Phase 3 | 1969-12-31 | Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. It is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. It may exist in a chronic form and be the result of: 1) active infection by B. burgdorferi; 2) damage caused by the original infectious process; or 3) the presence of co-infection with another organism transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness, for seropositive patients, of intensive antibiotic treatment in eliminating symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD). |
| NCT00002872 ↗ | Bleomycin, Doxycycline, or Talc in Treating Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusions | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 3 | 1996-11-01 | RATIONALE: Some drugs such as bleomycin or doxycycline, or other compounds like talc, may help to control fluid in the chest caused by cancer. It is not yet known if bleomycin, doxycycline, or talc is more effective in treating patients with malignant pleural effusions. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of bleomycin, doxycycline, or talc in treating patients with malignant pleural effusions. |
