Despite the absence of a reliable correlation with respect to antimicrobial resistance of chlamydia strains to tetracyclines, macrolides and fluoroquinolones <italic>in vitro</italic> and <italic>in vivo</italic>, scientists are studying the issue of reducing the sensitivity of the pathogen to traditionally used drugs and are investigating the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs active against <italic>Chlamydia trachomatis</italic>. One of the drugs with high anti-chlamydia activity is minocycline.</p> <p><bold>Aims.</bold><italic> </italic>To study the efficacy and safety of the minocycline (Minolexin®) in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia infection in comparison with the doxycycline (Unidox Solutab®).</p> <p><bold>Methods.</bold><italic> </italic>An open randomized comparative clinical trial included 100 patients: group 1 — 50 patients who received minocycline 100 mg 2 times a day for 7 days, group 2 — 50 patients who received doxycycline 100 mg 2 times a day in within 7 days. The diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of <italic>C. trachomatis</italic> by PCR. The parameter of the effectiveness of therapy was the eradication of <italic>C. trachomatis</italic> and the absence of clinical symptoms 4 weeks after therapy.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold><italic> </italic>1 week after therapy, clinical symptoms were registered in 20; 40.8% patients of group 1 and 28 (57.1%) patients of group 2 (<italic>p</italic> = 0.106), 4 weeks later — in 4; 8.2% patients of group 1 and 7 (18.4%) patients of group 2 (<italic>p</italic> = 0.524). In group 1, the absence of most subjective clinical symptoms was recorded in a shorter time than in the comparison group. 100% of patients had achieved eradication <italic>C. trachomatis</italic>, laboratory signs of an inflammatory reaction were recorded in 2 (5.0%) patients of group 1 and 3 (7.3%) patients of group 2 (<italic>p</italic> = 1,000). According to the frequency of adverse drug events, there were also no significant differences between the compared groups, however, in group 2 patients, adverse drug events that had a high probability of being associated with taking the drug were recorded more often than in the group of patients receiving minocycline.</p> <p><bold>Conclusions.<italic> </italic></bold>The results of the study demonstrated the comparable effectiveness of minocycline and doxycycline in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia infection and a similar safety profile of these drugs.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Урогенитальный хламидиоз является широко распространенной инфекцией, передаваемой половым путем, ежегодно 131 млн человек инфицируется <italic>Chlamydia trachomatis.</italic> Несмотря на отсутствие достоверной корреляционной связи в отношении антимикробной резистентности штаммов хламидий к тетрациклинам, макролидам и фторхинолонам <italic>in</italic><italic> </italic><italic>vitro</italic> и <italic>in</italic><italic> </italic><italic>vivo</italic>,<italic> </italic>учеными решается вопрос снижения чувствительности возбудителя к традиционно применяемым лекарственным средствам и ведутся исследования эффективности антибактериальных препаратов, активных в отношении <italic>C. trachomatis.</italic> Одним из препаратов с высокой противохламидийной активностью является миноциклин.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования. </bold>Изучить эффективность и безопасность препарата Минолексин® (МНН миноциклин) в терапии урогенитальной хламидийной инфекции в сравнении с препаратом Юнидокс Солютаб® (МНН доксициклин).</p> <p><bold>Методы.</bold> В открытое рандомизированное сравнительное клиническое исследование было включено 100 пациентов с неосложненными инфекциями нижнего отдела мочеполовой системы, вызванными <italic>C. trachomatis</italic>: 1 группа — 50 пациентов, которые получали терапию миноциклином 100 мг 2 раза в сутки в течение 7 дней; 2 группа — 50 пациентов, которые получали терапию доксициклином 100 мг 2 раза в сутки в течение 7 дней. Диагноз урогенитальной хламидийной инфекции подтверждался выявлением ДНК <italic>C. trachomatis</italic> методом полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР). Основными параметрами эффективности терапии являлись эрадикация <italic>C. trachomatis</italic> и отсутствие клинических симптомов урогенитальной хламидийной инфекции через 4 недели после завершения терапии.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Через 1 неделю после окончания терапии субъективные и/или объективные проявления заболевания регистрировались у 20 (40,8%) пациентов 1 группы и 28 (57,1%) пациентов 2 группы (<italic>p</italic> = 0,106), через 4 недели — у 4 (8,2%) пациенток 1 группы и 7 (18,4%) пациенток 2 группы (<italic>p</italic> = 0,524). В 1 группе отсутствие большинства субъективных клинических симптомов регистрировалось в более короткие сроки, чем в группе сравнения. На момент завершения исследования у 100% пациентов была достигнута эрадикация <italic>C. trachomatis</italic>, лабораторные признаки воспалительной реакции регистрировались только у 2 (5,0%) пациентов 1 группы и 3 (7,3%) пациентов 2 группы, статистически значимых различий между группами выявлено не было (<italic>p</italic> = 1,000). По частоте развития нежелательных лекарственных явлений также установлено отсутствие значимых различий между сравниваемыми группами, однако у пациентов 2 группы нежелательные лекарственные явления, имевшие высокую вероятную связь с приемом препарата, регистрировались чаще, чем в группе пациентов, получавших терапию миноциклином.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.<italic> </italic></bold>Результаты исследования позволяют констатировать сопоставимую эффективность миноциклина и доксициклина в терапии урогенитальной хламидийной инфекции и аналогичный профиль безопасности данных препаратов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>C. trachomatis</kwd><kwd>urogenital chlamydial infection</kwd><kwd>minocycline</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>C. trachomatis</kwd><kwd>урогенитальная хламидийная инфекция</kwd><kwd>миноциклин</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The sponsor of the clinical trial is AVVA RUS, Russian Federation.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Спонсором клинического исследования является АО «АВВА РУС», Российская Федерация.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections for the period 2022–2030.
