简要总结

This study is an open-label, non-comparative study with an objective to compare the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Fixed Dose Combination of Cephalexin Extended Release and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets in the Treatment of Uncomplicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections. The study is to be conducted at 10 centres all over India. The primary outcome is Investigator assessed clinical outcome in clinically evaluable subjects at test-of-cure visit (7-9 days after end of treatment) and secondary outcome is Microbiological outcome in all microbiologically evaluable subjects at test-of-cure visit (7-9 days after end of treatment).

入选标准

  • Subjects who have given written informed consent/assent to participate in the study.
  • Additional written informed consent will be taken from parents/LAR (as applicable) in case assent is taken from subjects aged less then 18 yrs.
  • Subjects of either sex, aged more then or equal to 12 years and weighing more then or equal to 40 kg.
  • Subjects with diagnosis of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections with an onset of infection less then 7 days, judged to require antibiotic therapy.
  • Acceptable clinical diagnoses of uSSTIs include, but are not limited to: simple abscess, impetigo, furunculosis, cellulitis, carbuncles, erysipelas, folliculitis, paronychia, superficial wound infections (traumatic, post surgical).
  • The uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infection is accompanied by 2 or more of the following local signs and symptoms with or without systemic features of infection: pain/tenderness, swelling, erythema, localized warmth, purulent drainage/discharge, induration, regional lymph node swelling or tenderness
  • Subjects who have positive pre-treatment culture from microbiological specimen obtained from the skin lesions.
  • Culture will be defined as positive if at least one of the following skin pathogens is identified: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli Note:Â Microbiological specimens (e.g., pus aspirate, swabs etc.
  • from the site of infection) as appropriate will be collected for microbiological analysis from all subjects as per the Hospital/Clinic protocol or practice Treatment will be initiated before the results of culture are available.
  • However, when these results become available, suitability of the subject for inclusion in the study will be reviewed at visit 2 (Day 3-5).
  • Subjects with sterile culture or negative culture for predefined pathogens will be withdrawn from the study.
  • Subjects showing clinical improvement with isolate(s) resistant to study drug will be allowed to continue in the study at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Subjects who have persistence or worsening of signs and symptoms or appearance of new signs and symptoms associated with skin lesions after 3 days of treatment will be considered as treatment failures and will be withdrawn from the study Surgical intervention (drainage, incision of the tissue swelling etc.) as appropriate will be done as per the discretion of the investigator.

排除标准

  • Subject with a complicated skin and soft tissue infection as judged by the investigator
  • A chronic or underlying skin condition at the site of infection (e.g., a secondarily infected atopic dermatitis or eczema) or infections involving prosthetic materials (e.g., catheter tunnel infections, orthopedic instruments)
  • Subjects with secondarily infected thermal injury (burns) or acne vulgaris
  • Subjects with solitary furuncle, involvement of perianal area, facial cellulitis or cellulitis associated with animal or human bite (except insect bite), diabetic foot ulcers or decubitus ulcers (bed sores) or significant peripheral vascular disease
