Clinical Trial Summary

40 outpatients with exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) will be enrolled in a multi-centre, open-label, randomised, pilot study. Two treatments will be compared, ceftidoren 200 mg bid for 5 days and levofloxacin 500 mg once daily for 7 days. Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of the treatment on serum inflammatory biomarkers and the secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy at the Test Of Cure visit (TOC), DAY 7-10 (end of treatment).

The study foresees 4 visits: Visit 1 (enrolment, day 1 of treatment); Visit 2 (day 2-4); Visit 3 (Test Of Cure-TOC visit, day 7-10 end of treatment), Visit 3 (Late Post Therapy assessment, Day 28-30).

The primary parameter to test the efficacy of the study medications will be the assessment of the speed of reduction of inflammatory parameters (CRP, PCT and KL6). Every reduction of 10% will be taken into account. The comparison between treatments will be performed at visit 2 and 3.
