Abstract

We conducted a comparative double-blind study of 7432-s (ceftibuten), a new oral cephem antibiotic, and cefaclor (CCL) to evaluate the efficacy, safety and usefulness of both drugs in the treatment of chronic respiratory tract infections. 7432-S was given orally at a daily dosage of 400 mg, and CCL at a daily dosage of 1500 mg for 14 days. The following results were obtained: 1) Of the total 170 patiens (85 in the 7432-S group, 85 in the CCL group), 145 were evaluated for efficacy by the committee members (71 in the 7432-S group, 74 in the CCL group). No significant differrence was noted between the two drug groups with respect to the exclusion/dropout percentage, or patient background. 2) The clinical efficacy rate judged by the committee members was 71.8% for the 7432-S group and 71.6 % for the CCL group, with no significant difference between the two drug groups. Nor was any significant difference noted between the two drug groups in the response rate as judged by the physicians. Bacteriologically, the elimination rate was 76.9% (30/39 strains) for the 7432-S group and 64.7% (22/34 strains) for the CCL group, with no significant difference between the groups. 3) As for the incidence of adverse reactions or abnormal labaratory findings, there was also no significant difference between the groups. 4) The usefulness rate judged by the committee members was 67.1% for the 7432-S group and 68.0% for the CCL group, with no significant difference between the groups. Nor was any significant difference noted in the evaluation of usefulness as judged by the physicians. These results demonstrated that 7432-S administered at a daily dosage of 400 mg (in two divided portions) was as useful as CCL at a daily dosage of 1500 mg (in three divided portions) in the treatment of chronic respiratory tract infections.
