Who may be able to join

  • Informed consent has been obtained;

Who cannot join

  • Significant renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance rate ≤30 ml/min, as determined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation at inclusion);
  • Significant hepatic dysfunction at inclusion (AST or ALT ≥4 x upper limit of normal value);
  • Elevated creatin phosphokinase (CPK) ≥2 x upper limit of normal value at inclusion
  • PJI caused by additional microorganism;
  • Non-adherence to the PJI treatment algorithm (see below);
  • Subject has been previously enrolled in the study or is currently enrolled in another investigational study previously enrolled in the study or is currently enrolled in another investigational study, which deviates from the treatment algorithm;
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Subject had prior exposure to daptomycin within the past 3 months;
  • Allergy or intolerance to daptomycin or rifampin, known hypersensitivity;

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Daptomycin (With or Without Rifampin) in the Treatment of Staphylococcal Hip, Knee and Shoulder Prosthetic Joint Infection

To determine the outcome and safety of a combined antimicrobial treatment involving daptomycin and surgical approach involving retention or short-interval two-stage exchange of the implant. Patients with hip, knee and shoulder Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) caused by methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant staphylococci will be included and followed during 2 years.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective open observational clinical study (phase 2) patients with hip, knee and shoulder PJI (as defined below) caused by methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant staphylococci will be included. An informed consent will be obtained prior to patient inclusion. Medical records will be prospectively abstracted for demographic characteristics, clinical, radiographic, laboratory and microbiologic data using a standardized case report form (CRF). After inclusion, intravenous daptomycin 10 mg/kg (calculated as actual body weight) is given once daily for 2-3 weeks, followed by oral rifampin-containing antibiotics for a total of 3 months (as outlined below).

Two surgical modalities will be applied according to the PJI treatment algorithm:

  • Open debridement and retention of the prosthesis (change of mobile parts): daptomycin will be combined with rifampin.
  • Two-stage exchange of the prosthesis with a short interval (2-3 weeks): daptomycin of the prosthesis: daptomycin will be used alone.

The decision whether the implant will be retained or removed is based on objective criteria of the treatment algorithm and is not subject to bias. All consecutive patients with a staphylococcal PJI infection of the hip, knee or shoulder prosthesis will be included, if no exclusion criterion is present, obviating the selection bias. Since not many specialized institutions are treating patients with PJI, we expect low number of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment efficacy (infection-free period)

    Measured: During study and 2 years after

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety of daptomycin (incidence of side effects)

    Measured: During study and 2 years after

  2. Population pharmacokinetic profile of antibiotics (daptomycin, rifampin) will be evaluated through concentration measurements in plasma and drainage fluid.

    Measured: during treatment (12 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daptomycin in people with Staphylococcal Infections, run by Andrej Trampuz at 3 sites in Switzerland.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Switzerland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Andrej Trampuz, MD (+41 21 314 3992, andrej.trampuz@chuv.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment efficacy (infection-free period) (time frame: During study and 2 years after). 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 26 Jun 2012.
