Frequently asked questions about Avelox

What is Avelox used for?

Avelox is an antibiotic studied for treating several types of infection, including aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and complicated skin and skin structure infections. It has also been evaluated in healthy volunteers to assess its effect on the QTc interval on electrocardiography.

Who makes Avelox?

Avelox is developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer is the sponsor behind the clinical trial program evaluating moxifloxacin, also known by the development code BAY12-8039, across infectious disease and pneumonia indications.

What phase is Avelox in?

Avelox has been studied in Phase 3 clinical development, with completed Phase 3 trials in aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and complicated skin and skin structure infections, plus a Phase 1 QTc validation study in healthy subjects. No trials in this program are currently active.

What clinical trials is Avelox in?

The Avelox program includes completed trials NCT01045902 in pulmonary abscess and aspiration pneumonia, NCT01014247 evaluating QTc interval effects in healthy subjects, NCT00828971 in complicated skin and skin structure infections, and NCT00769171, the Dragon study, in complicated intra-abdominal infections. All four trials are completed.

Is Avelox the same as moxifloxacin?

Yes. Avelox is the brand name for moxifloxacin, which is also identified by the development code BAY12-8039. Searches for Avelox, moxifloxacin, and BAY12-8039 all refer to the same small molecule antibiotic developed by Bayer AG.

How many patients were enrolled in Avelox trials?

Across the four completed trials in this program, 573 patients and volunteers were enrolled, including 139 in the aspiration pneumonia and lung abscess study, 56 healthy subjects in the QTc study, 16 in the complicated skin infection study, and 364 in the Dragon intra-abdominal infection study.
