Clinical Trials

A clinical trial evaluated the therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of oxytetracycline in human subjects presenting with specific dermatological infections, including degree II or III acne vulgaris and boils. Sponsored by Laboratorios Goulart S.A., this prospective, randomized, open multicenter Phase 3 study aimed to assess comparative clinical outcomes in managing these bacterial skin disorders. Currently, the recruitment status of this trial is categorized as unknown in registry records.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Oxytetracycline reversibly binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the acceptor site and inhibiting essential protein synthesis. Consequently, this suppression of protein translation halts bacterial multiplication and growth, providing therapeutic clinical activity in the management of bacterial skin infections such as acne vulgaris and boils.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
