Trial overview
Official title: Systematic literature review and meta-analysis to estimate the non-inferiority margin for a phase 3 NI trial in uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea
Trial description: This observational study is intended to justify a non-inferiority (NI) margin for a phase 3 randomized comparative trial in uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. The primary objective of this systematic literature review is to identify historical clinical trials among participants, which have a ceftriaxone and or placebo/proxy for placebo arm, for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea.

- Inclusion criteria:
- Studies of adult and adolescent females and males (more than or equal to [>=]12 years) with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Studies with participants that have uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea at other body sites are permitted for inclusion if the efficacy data are reported separately for each body site with the primary efficacy endpoint being microbiological response at the urogenital site only.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Inclusion criteria:
- Studies of adult and adolescent females and males (more than or equal to [>=]12 years) with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Studies with participants that have uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea at other body sites are permitted for inclusion if the efficacy data are reported separately for each body site with the primary efficacy endpoint being microbiological response at the urogenital site only.
- Interventions- Ceftriaxone alone or ceftriaxone plus azithromycin.
- Comparator- Placebo or proxy for placebo: a) Microbiological response in those with urogenital isolates with confirmed resistance to the active comparator they were randomized to. b) Spontaneous resolution via molecular microbiological response of urogenital infection from prospective cohort studies of urogenital gonorrhea.
- Outcomes- Bacteriological response or microbiological cure at the test of cure visit assessed from approximately 3 to 7 days post therapy.
- Study design(s)- randomized double-blind clinical trials, randomized clinical trials, open label studies.
- Timeframe/length of follow-up – studies with greater than 3-days of follow-up post therapy will be included on the timing of test of cure (approximately 3-7 days post therapy).
- Report characteristics- English language only publications, peer review publications of clinical trial study results, no limits on years considered, nor location of study. Exclusion Criteria for the first Stage:
- Narrative review.
- Case reports or case series.
- Animal studies.
- Gonorrhea prevention studies.
- Pediatric Clinical trials in children less than (<)12 years where efficacy data are not stratified for those >=12 years of age.
- Prophylaxis studies in uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea.
- Clinical Trials published in non-English language.
- Observational studies (with the exception of studies that report rates of spontaneous resolution among untreated participants).
- Studies which include participants with concomitant infection requiring systemic antibacterial therapy other than study drugs at the time of randomization.
- Studies with include participants with complicated gonorrhea infection if efficacy data are not stratified.
- Trials focusing on pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamics of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. Exclusion criteria for the second stage:
- Studies which include participants with complicated and uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea, whereby the efficacy data are not stratified by indication.
- Clinical studies which provide no efficacy data for objectives listed (bacteriological response).
- Studies which report duplicate data from the same study population and comparators as another primary publication identified.
- Clinical trials which allow for concomitant use of systemic antibiotics for other infections as this could overestimate active comparator treatment effect estimates.
