505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Flagyl I.v. Rtu In Plastic Container
| Trial Type | Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Formulation | NCT01559545 ↗ | A Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Two Formulations of Metronidazole Versus Immediate Release Metronidazole in Patient With C. Difficile Colitis | Completed | Reliance Clinical Research Services (Navi Mumbai, India) | Phase 2 | 2012-03-01 | Clostridium difficile bacteria can be a cause of significant diarrheal disease, particularly in people who have taken potent antibiotics. When C. difficile multiplies within the colon, it produces two toxins that cause inflammation and resultant abdominal pain, fever and diarrhea. Current treatment of mild to moderate disease is with immediate release metronidazole, an antibiotic that kills C. difficile. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories has developed a delayed release form of metronidazole to release just before the colon to increase the concentration of antibiotic in the colon to improve the effectiveness of metronidazole treatment and potentially to allow less whole body exposure to the antibiotic. This study will measure the amount of metronidazole in the blood and stool of patients with C. difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) to confirm that the new formulations are releasing the antibiotic as designed, immediately before the colon. |

All Clinical Trials for Flagyl I.v. Rtu In Plastic Container
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00195923 ↗ | Prospective Randomized Evaluation of Antibiotic Regimen Following Appendectomy for Perforated Appendicitis | Completed | Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City | 2005-04-01 | The purpose of this study is to compare traditional triple antibiotic therapy against dual single day dosing antibiotic therapy in the management of perforated appendicitis in children. | |
| NCT00257699 ↗ | Study of Antibiotics in the Treatment of Colonic Crohn's Disease | Terminated | Crohn's and Colitis Foundation | Phase 2 | 2006-05-01 | Crohn's disease (CD) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive system. Symptoms of this chronic illness include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. CD also causes bowel wall ulcers, strictures (narrowings of a hollow structure due to scar tissue and swelling), and fistulae (abnormal passages from the intestines to another organ or to the skin). CD is thought to arise from a combination of inherited (genetic) factors and some undefined environmental factor(s). One environmental factor that has been shown to be intimately involved with the development of CD is the presence of bacteria that normally inhabit the intestines. As a result, some physicians have tried to alter the normal bacterial population as a means of controlling the inflammation (swelling) in the intestines of individuals with CD. Among such strategies is the use of a combination of metronidazole and ciprofloxacin. These broad-spectrum antibiotics control CD symptoms by acting on the intestinal bacteria that can contribute to chronic inflammation. More investigation is needed to firmly establish the usefulness of this therapy because previous clinical trials have given mixed results, although they have suggested that antibiotics can be particularly useful in cases of Crohn's colitis (CD that primarily affects the large intestine). Because these earlier studies have lacked a large enough patient population with colonic involvement, a trial focusing on this CD subgroup with a sufficient number of subjects will help to clarify the value of combining metronidazole and ciprofloxacin. The proposed study will test the hypothesis that combination antibiotic therapy is effective in the treatment of CD involving the colon. The study will compare the use of combination therapy consisting of metronidazole and ciprofloxacin with placebo (dummy tablets) and will examine the results of treatment at the end of 8 weeks of treatment. |

| NCT00353743 ↗ | The Use of Antibiotics After Hospital Discharge in Septic Abortion | Terminated | Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre | N/A | 2006-05-01 | The use of antibiotics in post-partum infection has been abbreviated. After 48 hours of clinical improvement, the patient is discharged from the hospital without antibiotics. No trials has been found in cases of septic abortion. The purpose of the present study is to verify the need of antibiotics after clinical improvement in cases of septic abortion. |
| NCT00464542 ↗ | Asymptomatic Bacterial Vaginosis and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (BV/HSV-2) Shedding Study | Completed | University of Pittsburgh | Phase 4 | 2007-12-01 | This investigation assessed the effects of asymptomatic BV on daily genital tract shedding of HSV-2 by determining shedding frequency before and after treatment of asymptomatic BV. |
