NCT00358462 ↗ Mycoplasma Genitalium Antibiotic Susceptibility and Treatment (MEGA) Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 3 2007-01-01 The purpose of this study is to find out which of 2 different antibiotics, doxycycline or azithromycin, works best against germs that may cause nongonococcal urethritis. Study participants will include approximately 1200 men, 16 years of age or older, attending a sexually transmitted diseases clinic in Seattle, Washington with clinical signs of urethral inflammation (>=5PMNs/HPF on a Gram-stained slide prepared from urethral exudates and/or a visible urethral discharge upon examination). Urine specimens will be collected and tested for Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasmas. Each participant will receive a blinded packet of study medication. Participants will answer an enrollment questionnaire and will also receive a log to complete between visits to record information about treatment adherence, side effects, symptoms, and sexual activity. All subjects will be asked to return for evaluation 3 weeks after the initial clinic visit. Subjects who test positive for M. genitalium and/or Ureaplasmas at the initial clinic visit will also be asked to return for a third study visit, 6 weeks following the initial clinic visit. During follow-up visits, participants will answer a follow-up questionnaire and will be re-evaluated for signs of urethritis. Those who were initially positive for M. genitalium and/or Ureaplasmas will be re-tested for these organisms. Study participants with signs and/or symptoms of urethritis or who test positive for M. genitalium or Ureaplasmas at the follow-up study visit will receive another blinded treatment packet containing the alternate medication. Those who require additional treatment at the 6-week visit will be asked to return for a fourth follow-up study visit at 9-10 weeks. Study participants who did not test positive for M. genitalium or Ureaplasmas at the initial clinic visit, but who continue to demonstrate signs and/or symptoms of infection at their single follow-up study visit will treated according to clinic standard of care (after the study clinician unblinds their randomly-assigned treatment regimen).

Vibramycin (Doxycycline Hyclate): Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Introduction to Vibramycin

Vibramycin, known generically as doxycycline hyclate, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from tetracycline. It is widely used for treating various bacterial infections, including acne, certain types of malaria, and uncomplicated urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infections.

Clinical Trials Update

Recent and Ongoing Trials

Several clinical trials have been conducted and are ongoing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of doxycycline hyclate.

  • Uncomplicated Urogenital Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection: A non-inferiority trial compared the efficacy of WC2031 (a once-daily formulation of doxycycline hyclate) with Vibramycin (twice-daily doxycycline hyclate) for treating uncomplicated urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infection. The trial showed that WC2031 had a microbiological cure rate of 94.9% compared to 83.7% for Vibramycin in the efficacy-evaluable population. However, when analyzed using the modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population, the cure rates were 79.3% for WC2031 and 83.7% for Vibramycin, indicating that WC2031 may be considered non-inferior to Vibramycin[1].

  • Other Clinical Trials: Various institutions, such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, are conducting Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials to explore different aspects of doxycycline's efficacy and safety[2].
