Trial summary

Patients with MRSaB have high therapeutic failure rates and mortality rates. Recent studies have shown that an elevated IL-10 level is an independent risk factor of mortality. It may also serve as biomarker for very early risk stratification. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multi-center Prospective Randomized Open Label Study of Utilizing Interleukin 10 (IL-10) Levels as a Guide for Antibiotic Selection for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia

Patients with MRSaB have high therapeutic failure rates and mortality rates. Recent studies have shown that an elevated IL-10 level is an independent risk factor of mortality. It may also serve as biomarker for very early risk stratification. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes for patients with elevated IL-10 levels (≥8 pg/ml) when treated with standard antibiotic therapy (daptomycin or vancomycin) versus early aggressive therapy (daptomycin with ceftaroline) for the treatment of MRSaB.

Read the detailed description

Patients with MRSaB have primary therapeutic failure rates of 40-50% and high mortality rate of 10-50% when treated with the recommended standard antimicrobial therapy. (Sharp) local data for MRSaB for 2014 shows an all-cause mortality rate of 29%. Recent studies have been published that utilize the predictive biomarker, IL-10, aiding the understanding for the wide variability in mortality. Further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical relevance of utilizing IL-10 levels to optimize MRSaB management and whether or not patient outcomes are enhanced.

Under current standard treatment strategies, vancomycin 15 mg/kg IVPB every 12 hrs following a 30 mg/kg IVPB loading dose is the first line of antibiotic therapy initiated with known or suspected MRSaB. Only when patients have showed an unsatisfactory clinical response such as prolonged bacteremia and/or continued clinical signs of uncontrolled infection are more potent/aggressive and more expensive antibiotic choices considered in most cases. Even the time for consideration of such a switch is a matter of controversy, with current MRSA treatment guidelines recommending a switch after 7-days of failure.

Several recent studies have shown that an elevated IL-10 level is an independent risk factor of mortality. In animal models, it has been shown that the bacterial cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus stimulates the production of IL-10. A small study by Rose et al. showed that this observation is consistent in humans. In another study, the authors concluded that elevated IL-10 at the time of presentation is a predictive value of mortality in patients with MRSaB4. In addition, the authors concluded that IL-10 may serve as a biomarker for very early risk stratification, with selection of standard therapy for low-risk patients and more potent, expensive, and cumbersome antibiotic therapies reserved for the high-risk patients. Furthermore, it is postulated that treating high risk patients with aggressive/intensified therapy earlier may improve economic and microbiological outcomes, such as a decreased length of treatment, decreased time in the Intensive Care Unit, decreased length of stay in the hospital, and decreased duration of bacteremia.

The aim in this study is to compare the outcomes for patients with elevated IL-10 levels (≥ 8 pg/mL) when treated with standard antibiotic therapy versus early aggressive therapy for the treatment of MRSaB. Aggressive therapy is defined in study to be daptomycin (6-8mg/kg/day) with ceftaroline (600 mg q8hr).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to bacteremia clearance

    To determine whether or not early aggressive antibiotic therapy are correlated to shorter time to bacteremia clearance compared to standard therapy

    Measured: 1-4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of IL-10 levels between standard and aggressive therapy treatments

    To determine whether or not patients who have high IL-10 levels treated with aggressive antibiotic therapy have better outcomes compared with standard therapy.

    Measured: About 2 months from blood draw to the batch results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Daptomycin, Vancomycin and Ceftaroline in people with Bacteremia, run by Sharp HealthCare at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 1 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 2 sites 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 to bacteremia clearance (time frame: 1-4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02660346, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 1 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
