Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

  1. This study will test the safety and efficacy of TG-873870 (Nemonoxacin) compared with Levofloxacin in adult patients with Community-Aquired Pneumonia (CAP)

  2. To investigate the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of nemonoxacin in adult patients with CAP after continuous oral administration and determine the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Community-acquired Pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of death in both developing and developed countries. In the choice of antibacterial agents used to treat CAP, fluoroquinolones have received considerable attention because of their wide spectrum of bactericidal activity. TG-873870 (Nemonoxacin), a non-fluorinated quinolone (NFQ), is a selective bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. This study will test the safety and efficacy of TG-873870 (Nemonoxacin) compared with Levofloxacin in adult patients with Community-Aquired Pneumonia (CAP).

Besides,the population pharmacokinetics (PPK) of nemonoxacin in adult patients with CAP after continuous oral administration and determine the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Per subject clinical cure rate [21days]

    The clinical cure rate will be evaluated according to signs and symptoms and changes in the chest X-ray.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety Evaluation [24days]

    Clinical adverse events and abnormal laboratory or other special test findings during this study should be observed and recorded carefully.

  2. Per subject microbiological cure rate [14 days]

    The microbiological cure rate will be evaluated according to the microbiological identification results of the central laboratory

  3. Per subject overall cure rate [14 days]

    Evaluate the overall efficacy after a comprehensive consideration of the clinical results and the bacteriological results.
