About this study

Official title: Phase II, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Daptomycin in the Treatment of Catheter-Related Gram Positive Bloodstream Infections

Primary Objective:

-Evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Daptomycin given for treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) due to gram positive bacteremia in the context of standard of care antimicrobial therapy consisting mainly of Vancomycin with or without initial treatment with beta lactam antibiotics.

Read the detailed description

THE STUDY DRUG:

Daptomycin is an antibiotic designed to treat a variety of bacterial infections that are difficult to treat.

STUDY TREATMENT:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be given daptomycin by vein over 30 minutes every 24 hours for at least 7-14 days, depending on the type of bacteria that you have.

The central venous catheter (CVC) will either be removed, or it will be exchanged over a guide wire. The decision to remove or exchange the CVC and timing of the placement of the CVC will be decided by your primary physician and the willingness of you to remove or exchange your infected CVC. This will be done within 96 hours after your first positive blood culture (first blood drawn that showed bacteria). A CVC is a sterile flexible tube that will be placed into a large vein while you are under local anesthesia. Your doctor will explain this procedure to you in more detail, and you will be required to sign a separate consent form for this procedure.

If the study doctor and/or your primary doctor suspects that you have a mixed infection (2 or more certain types of bacteria) or pneumonia, you will also be treated with different types of antibiotics, by vein or mouth, in combination with the study drug. These antibiotics may include aztreonam, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, bactrim, and/or amoxicillin/clavulanate (a combination antibiotic).

If you are discharged from the hospital before completing the study medication, arrangements will be made to provide infusions on an outpatient basis (by a nurse, yourself, or a family member). You and/or a family member will be taught (by a nurse) how to take the study medication at home. Before you are discharged from the hospital, you will receive the kits that include enough supplies for you and/or a family member to give daptomycin by vein. If medication will be given at home, a prescription will be given to you to pick up your medication from the pharmacy before you discharge from the hospital. If possible, your primary doctor may arrange for you to receive medication at the M. D. Anderson outpatient treatment center, or a nurse will be scheduled to visit you at home to give you the medication.

STUDY TESTS/PROCEDURES:

During each week of treatment, you will have the following exams/procedures performed once a week.

  • You will have blood drawn (about 1 tablespoon) for routine tests. It may be drawn from the CVC, if the CVC is still in place. The CVC exit site will be examined at each visit until you have no more signs or symptoms of infection.
  • You will also have blood drawn (about 1 tablespoon) for a blood culture every other day until it no longer shows signs of infection.
  • You will be asked about any symptoms or illnesses that you may have experienced since your last visit.

LENGTH OF STUDY:

Participation on this study will last for no more than 60 days (about 2 months).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Response Within 48 Hours

    Number of participants with clinical response within 48 hours from initiation of Daptomycin, estimated by Bayesian posterior credible interval. Clinical response defined as resolution of clinical signs and symptoms within 48 hours from initiating the study drug.

    Measured: Within 48 hours from initiating the study drug

  2. Clinical Response Within 7 Days

    Number of participants with clinical response within 1 week from initiation of Daptomycin, estimated by Bayesian posterior credible interval. Clinical response defined as resolution of clinical signs and symptoms within 7 days from initiating the study drug.

    Measured: Within 7 days from initiating the study drug

  3. Microbiological Response Within 48 Hours

    Number of participants with microbiological response within 48 hours from initiation of Daptomycin. Microbiological response defined as eradication of the microorganism from the bloodstream (negative blood cultures).

    Measured: Within 48 hours from initiating the study drug

  4. Microbiological Response Within 7 Days

    Number of participants with microbiological response within 7 days from initiation of Daptomycin. Microbiological response defined as eradication of the microorganism from the bloodstream (negative blood cultures).

    Measured: Within 7 days from initiating the study drug

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Relapse

    Number of participants with relapse was defined as the recurrence of bacteremia within the first 3 months.

    Measured: Within 3 months from initiating the study drug

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Response

    Overall response = symptom resolution within 3 days (since using antibiotic) + microbiological resolution within 3 days + no infection-related death + no infection-related late complications + no relapse. Infection-related late complication was defined as the development of deep-seated infection that was not present or suspected at the onset of bacteremia but was subsequently diagnosed after 1 week from initiation of study drug.

    Measured: Within 3 days from initiating the study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daptomycin in people with Bloodstream Infection, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Response Within 48 Hours (time frame: Within 48 hours from initiating the study drug). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Feb 2021.
