A Multicenter, Randomized, Comparative Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Levofloxacin in the Treatment of Children Who Have Recurrent and/or Persistent Acute Otitis Media
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of levofloxacin compared with amoxicillin/clavulanate on the clinical response at the end of therapy in infants and children who have recurrent and/or persistent acute otitis media.
Conditions: Otitis Media.
Primary outcome: Clinical response (cured versus not cured) at Visit 3 (2 to 5 days after last dose)..
Enrollment: 1643 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 1,643 participants or records.
