简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare how well two different antibiotics, doxycycline (DOXY) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), work at curing uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infection (uSSTI) such as 1.Boils (pus in the skin, also known as abscesses and furuncles) or 2. Infections that appear only on the skin surface (called cellulitis and erysipelas) that have pus.
详细描述
This is a phase IIb multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial in which enrolled subjects with abscess or cellulitis will be treated with either DOXY or TMP-SMX.
The overall objective is to provide a clinically relevant treatment strategy for uSSTI in children and adults in areas where CA-MRSA is prevalent. Out-patient subjects, both children and adults with abscess and/or purulent cellulitis will be enrolled into a randomized, double-blind trial in which enrolled subjects will be treated with either DOXY or TMP-SMX.
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly identified cause of skin infections. In the last 15 years, there also has been an large increase in Staphylococcus aureus skin infection attributable to CA-MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) throughout the United States. However, optimal treatment remains unclear and several commonly used antibiotics such as doxycycline are commonly used but understudied. As resistance among CA-MRSA strains to commonly used antibiotics such as clindamycin continues to increase, there is a need to understand the relative safety and efficacy of alternative treatments, such as doxycycline. This clinical trial will evaluate DOXY and TMP-SMX for the outpatient management of uSSTI in two metropolitan areas, Los Angeles and St. Louis, cities with high prevalence of CA-MRSA. This trial will test important unanswered hypotheses relating to the treatment of CA-MRSA uSSTI and it will advance healthcare providers' ability to successfully manage adults and children with uSSTIs in areas where CA-MRSA is prevalent.
Methods: Out-patient subjects, both children and adults with abscess and/or purulent cellulitis will be enrolled into a randomized, double-blind trial in which enrolled subjects will be treated with either DOXY or TMP-SMX. Using a 1:1 randomized controlled trial of 462 subjects, the investigators aim to 1) compare the cure rate of DOXY to that of TMP-SMX for the treatment of patients throughout the study 2) compare rates of adverse events and of adverse events that are treatment limiting between DOXY and TMP-SMX 3) estimate relapse and recurrence of uSSTI among patients treated with DOXY and of TMP-SMX 4) estimate treatment failure among patients with uSSTI colonized with S. aureus at the anterior nares and oropharynx.

盲法说明
This is a double blind trial in which both subjects and study personnel will be masked to the specific treatment arm to which the subject has been assigned and to the results of cultures obtained from the site of infection. The pharmacist will only be unblinded to the liquid formulation, in order to prepare the formulation based upon the subject's weight.

研究组 & 干预措施
Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)
TMP-SMX will be dosed as follows: for adults, 160/800 mg administered as two single strength (SS) over-encapsulated tablets (equivalent to one double strength (DS) tablet) twice daily. As dosages of these medications may be lower in children with lower body weight (<40 kg), we will use weight based liquid medications for children < 40 kg (TMP/SMX dosed based on 8-10 mg/kg of TMP daily, divided into two daily doses) for those children who are under 40 kg in weight. As dosages of these medications are higher in persons with high body weight (>100 kg), we will use TMP/SMX 160/800 mg administered as four single strength (SS) over-encapsulated tablets (equivalent to two double strength (DS) tablet) twice daily.
干预措施: TMP-SMX (Drug)
Doxycycline (DOXY)
DOXY will be dosed as follows: for adults, two 50 mg tabs (100 mg total) given twice daily. As dosages of these medications may be lower in children with lower body weight (<40 kg), we will use weight based liquid medications for children < 40 kg (DOXY 2.2 mg/kg twice daily) for those children who are under 40 kg in weight. The doxycycline dose will remain the same for persons with high body weight (>100 kg) and four additional placebo tabs will be given to subjects > 100 kg randomized to doxycycline.
干预措施: DOXY (Drug)
