Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate at least the same efficacy (a non-inferiority design) of Furazidin PR versus Nitrofurantoin PR in the treatment of the uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (cystitis) in women (acute or recurrent).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are: • assessment of microbial response; • assessment of clinical response; • patient assessment of efficacy and quality of life; • evaluation of patient compliance with dosing regimen; • evaluation of safety profile; • observation of the treatment efficacy during Visit 2 at Day 5 (First Resolution) to find out whether the study results will be supportive enough to make the treatment posology shorter); • evaluation of patient compliance with dosing recommendation in respect to the meals.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy criteria is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of the resolution or improvement of all clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection without need of additional antibacterial therapy and the efficacy measure according to the ACSS self-assessment scale (a score of typical symptoms of the ACSS = 5 but no item > 1 (mild) and no visible blood in urine) and the demonstration that the bacterial pathogen found at trial entry is reduced to fewer than 103 CFU/mL on urine culture during Visit 4 (Test of Cure Visit, 14 (+/- 2) days after completion of treatment).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 14 days (+/- 2 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy parameters include the following: • Number of patients that achieved resolution or improvement of all clinical symptoms of UTI according to the ACSS self-assessment scale (a score of typical symptoms of ACSS = 5 but no item > 1 (mild)) and no visible blood in urine at Visit 2, Visit 3 (End of Treatment), Visit (Test of Cure), and Visit 5 (Follow up) in Furazidin PR arm in relation to Nitrofurantoin PR arm; [Time Frame: Day 5, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28]; • Number of patients that achieved reduction of pathogens count, present at the study entry (at Visit 1), to a level or = 105/ml and nitrofurantoine susceptibility will be assessed for microbiological secondary endpoint. • Number of patients with a need of any additional antimicrobial medication intake for UTI between Visit 1 and Visit 4 and between Visit 1 and Visit 5 in Furazidin PR arm in relation to Nitrofurantoin PR arm; [Time Frame: Day 5, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28]; • Maintenance of clinical response until Day 28 (Visit 5 - Follow up) in Furazidin PR arm in relation to Nitrofurantoin PR arm, based on the ACSS self-assessment scale (a score of typical symptoms of ACSS = 5 but no item > 1 (mild)) and no visible blood in urine); [Time Frame: Day 28]; • Change in the patient self-reporting quality of life using the ACSS questionnaire at Visit 1, Visit 2 (First Resolution), Visit 3 (End of treatment), Visit 4 (Test of Cure), Visit 5 ( Followup); in Furazidin PR arm in relation to Nitrofurantoin PR arm; [Time Frame: Day 1, Day 5, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28]; • Number of Treatment-Emergent AEs/ SAEs collected during the course of the study since Visit 1 until Visit 5 in Furazidin PR arm in relation to Nitrofurantoin PR; [Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 28]; • The susceptibility of infecting strains to Furazidin PR and Nitrofurantoin PR; [Time Frame: Day 1, Day 14]; • Patient compliance with study treatment dosing regimen, defined as the range of 71- 129% of total dose of study treatment that s
