About this study

Official title: Effect of Topical and Systemic Decolonization of Staphylococcus Aureus (SA) in Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients at the CF Center at SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.

The primary objective of this study is to measure efficacy of our new protocol by monitoring the results of our routine respiratory cultures at the end of the new standard treatment, and during routine visits for 1 year from initiation of therapy for Staphylococcus aureus. The secondary objective will include determining the clinical course (pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, hospitalizations, pulmonary function tests) of patients who underwent the protocol.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • decolonizationDrug

    The decolonization protocol for the patients will consist of two-week course of cephalexin (100 mg/kg/day divided TID) or oral T/S (20 mg/kg/day divided BID), HBW every other day for 2 weeks, and mupirocin ointment into both nares BID for 2 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the efficacy of a decolonization regimen to eliminate SA from nares, oropharynx and sputum of pediatric CF patients (2-23 months of age).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To measure adverse effects of the decolonization regimen (e.g. local irritation, skin dryness, rashes, vomiting, diarrhea) and its impact on carriage with other organisms (e.g., Pseudomonas).

    Measured: 1 year

  2. To evaluate the effect of decolonization regimen on lung changes and/or frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. To evaluate adherence to the decolonization regimen

    Measured: 1 year
