[A multi-center, randomized, controlled, double blind and double dummy clinical trial of antofloxacin hydrochloride tablet versus levofloxacin tablet for the treatment of acute bacterial infections].

AbstractOBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of antofloxacin hydrochloride tablet for the treatment of acute bacterial infections.
METHODS:
A multi-center randomized control, double blind and double dummy clinical trial was conducted; levofloxacin tablet was closed as controlled drug. The duration of treatment was 7-14 days in both groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 719 patients were enrolled in the study, in which 359 patients treated with antofloxacin and 360 patients treated with levofloxacin were included. Three hundred and thirty and 337 patients completed the study and met with all the criteria for per-protocol analysis, respectively. By the end of chemotherapy, the cured rates in per protocol set (PPS) population were 79.7% and 77.4%, the effective rates were 95.2% and 96.7%, and the bacterial clearance were 96.7% and 97.5% for the treating and control group, respectively. The clinical and bacterial efficacy of antofloxacin and levofloxacin was comparable by the analysis of infectious sites. Three hundred and fifty-seven and 356 patients in antofloxacin and levofloxacin groups were evaluated the safety. The drug adverse events occurred both in 10.1%, and drug adverse reactions occurred in 7.8% and 7.9% patients in the two groups. The most common drug adverse reactions were mild gastroenteric symptoms. No QTc prolongation was detected in all the patients. One patient in each group had mild blood glucose increase at the end of therapy, but the glucose returned to normal level without any intervention. No statistic significant difference between the two groups in clinical efficacy and safety was detected (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:
Antofloxacin hydrochloride tablet was effective and safe for the treatment of acute bacterial infections.
