Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the use of once-a-day cefpodoxime proxetil to once-a-day cefixime in the treatment of acute suppurative otitis media. DESIGN:Randomized, multicenter, investigator-blinded. SETTING:Outpatient. PATIENTS:A total of 368 patients (age 2 months to 17 years) were randomized to receive either cefpodoxime or cefixime in a 2:1 ratio (245 cefpodoxime, 123 cefixime); 236 patients (155 cefpodoxime, 81 cefixime) were evaluable for drug efficacy. INTERVENTIONS:Patients received either cefpodoxime proxetil oral suspension (10 mg/kg/day, once daily for 10 days) or cefixime oral suspension (8 mg/kg/day, once daily for 10 days). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Clinical evaluations were performed before treatment (study day 1), at an interim visit (study day 3 through 6), at the end of therapy (study day 12 through 15), and at final follow-up (study day 25 through 38). Microbiologic evaluations were performed at enrollment and whenever appropriate thereafter. RESULTS:End-of-therapy clinical cure rates in evaluable patients were 56% for the cefpodoxime group and 54% for the cefixime group. Clinical improvement rates were 27% for both groups. Clinical response rates were not significantly different between treatment groups (P = .541; 95% confidence interval = -8.1%, 15.2%). At long-term follow-up, 17% of patients in the cefpodoxime group and 20% in the cefixime group had a recurrence of infection. Drug-related adverse events (eg, diarrhea, diaper rash, vomiting, rash) occurred in 23.3% of cefpodoxime-treated patients and 17.9% of cefixime-treated patients (P = .282). CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggest that cefpodoxime proxetil administered once daily is as effective and safe as cefixime given once daily in the treatment of acute suppurative otitis media in pediatric patients.
