Study groupRoleWhat they receive
controlPatients with growth of S. aureus from sterile site cultures between Sept 15, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012. No rapid testing was performed, and standard bacterial culture and susceptibility testing was done.
interventionPatients with growth of S. aureus from sterile site cultures between Sept 15, 2013 - Dec 31, 2013. Rapid PBP2a testing was performed along with pharmacist notification of service if modification to therapy needed based on rapid test results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time (hours) to optimal antimicrobial therapy for patients with MSSA and MRSA infections in the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods

    Measured: within first 7 days of culture result

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time (in hours) to identification of MRSA.

    Measured: within first 3 days of culture result

  2. Vancomycin days of therapy following S. aureus culture result

    Measured: during the 2 weeks following culture result

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Staphylococcus Aureus Infections, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2018. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time (hours) to optimal antimicrobial therapy for patients with MSSA and MRSA infections in the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods (time frame: within first 7 days of culture result). 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 13 Feb 2018.
