  • Research summary

    This is a phase III, randomised, multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, double-dummy study in adolescent and adult female participants, comparing the efficacy and safety of gepotidacin to nitrofurantoin in the treatment of uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections, also known as Acute Cystitis.

    The study will compare gepotidacin with standard-of-care treatment, nitrofurantoin. Participants will be divided into 2 groups by chance: one group will take gepotidacin (by mouth) and the other group will take nitrofurantoin (by mouth); treatment will require twice daily dosing, for five days.

    This study will include approximately 1000 to 1200 study participants globally, with 60 participants expected to be recruited from at least 5 sites across the UK. The study will run for about 18 months. Participation will only be for approximately 28 days.

    Study procedures include physical examination, vital signs, ECG (measures heart rhythm), and blood and urine tests.

    This study is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). This project is funded in whole or in part with US Federal funds from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under OTA Agreement No. HHSO100201300011C.
