A National, Prospective, Randomized, Open Label Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of IV/PO Moxifloxacin vs IV Ceftriaxone + IV Azithromycin Followed by PO Amoxicilline/Clavulanate and PO Clarithromycin in Subjects With Community-acquired Pneumonia
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess if a therapy with oral and intravenous moxifloxacin is as effective as a therapy with intravenous ceftriaxone + intravenous azithromycin followed by oral amoxicilline/clavulanate and oral clarithromycin in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.
Conditions: Pneumonia.
Primary outcome: Clinical response 20 days after completion of study treatment (Test-of-Cure visit).
Enrollment: 60 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: 60 participants or records.
