metronidazole and Abdominal Abscess

metronidazole has been researched along with Abdominal Abscess in 49 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

Abdominal Abscess: An abscess located in the abdominal cavity, i.e., the cavity between the diaphragm above and the pelvis below. (From Dorland, 27th ed)

Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Who Was Assessed as Appropriate to Continue Treatment (Investigator Assessment)

"The appropriateness of treatment continuation was evaluated on Day 4 by the investigator as continuation, discontinuation or indeterminate based on the clinical response. The percentage of participants was calculated from the following formula; number of participants assessed as continuation over total number of participants that excluding ones assessed as indeterminate multiplied by 100." (NCT01473836)
Timeframe: Baseline to Day 4

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Metronidazole/Ceftriaxone100.0

Bacteriological Response: Eradication Rate (Data Review Committee Assessment)

"Bacteriological response was evaluated as eradication (eradication, presumed eradication or colonization), persistence, or indeterminate by the data review committee, at Day 4, at the end of treatment (EOT), and the test of cure (TOC: 7 days after EOT). Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, number of participants with bacteria eradication, presumed eradication or colonization over total number of participants that excluding ones evaluated as indeterminate multiplied by 100."

TOC was the primary analysis of this outcome measure. Cured = clinical symptoms and abnormal findings at the start of the study were disappeared and considered other antibiotics were not required during the study and after the assessment time point. Improved = clinical symptoms and abnormal findings at the start of the study were improved and considered other antibiotics were not required during the study and after the assessment time point.
