505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Metronidazole
| 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 Metronidazole
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00002682 ↗ | Antibiotic Therapy and Antacids in Patients With Malt Lymphoma of the Stomach | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 2 | 1995-08-10 | RATIONALE: Antibiotic therapy and antacids are used to treat Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. These treatments may also have an effect on gastric MALT lymphoma of the stomach. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, tetracycline, and metronidazole plus antacids in patients with MALT lymphoma of the stomach. |
| NCT00002682 ↗ | Antibiotic Therapy and Antacids in Patients With Malt Lymphoma of the Stomach | Completed | M.D. Anderson Cancer Center | Phase 2 | 1995-08-10 | RATIONALE: Antibiotic therapy and antacids are used to treat Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. These treatments may also have an effect on gastric MALT lymphoma of the stomach. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, tetracycline, and metronidazole plus antacids in patients with MALT lymphoma of the stomach. |
| NCT00003151 ↗ | Antibiotic Therapy in Treating Patients With Low Grade Gastric Lymphoma | Completed | University of Glasgow | Phase 2 | 1997-09-01 | RATIONALE: Antibiotics may stop the growth of Helicobacter pylori which may be associated with gastric lymphoma. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in treating patients with low grade gastric lymphoma that has not been previously treated. |
| NCT00003151 ↗ | Antibiotic Therapy in Treating Patients With Low Grade Gastric Lymphoma | Completed | European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC | Phase 2 | 1997-09-01 | RATIONALE: Antibiotics may stop the growth of Helicobacter pylori which may be associated with gastric lymphoma. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in treating patients with low grade gastric lymphoma that has not been previously treated. |
| NCT00021671 ↗ | Antibiotics to Reduce Chorioamnionitis-Related Perinatal HIV Transmission | Completed | National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) | Phase 3 | 1969-12-31 | The purpose of this study is to see if antibiotic drugs given to treat an infection of the uterus during pregnancy can reduce the chances of HIV being passed from an HIV-positive mother to her baby. A link between bacterial disease of the vagina, premature birth, infection of the uterus during pregnancy, and the passing of HIV from a mother to her baby has been found. Early treatment of these problems may reduce the risk of passing HIV from an HIV-positive mother to her baby. [Note: As of 02/21/03, enrollment into this study was halted because preliminary data showed that the study antibiotics were not effective in preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission.] |
