About this study

It exists recommendations to get an optimal antibiotic treatment for bone and joint infection and prescription of antibiotics in the bone and joint infections on material meets certain obligations: the micro-organism must be known, the antibiotic therapy must be started in association, obtaining high plasma levels, use of molecules having good bone circulation. It is recommended to initially administer treatment with intravenous route and to propose an oral relay, under conditions. It is recommended to administer the antibiotic treatment for at least 6 weeks.

The dosages of antibiotics are adapted to the weight of patients in order to respond to those recommendations. But little is known about the optimal dose of treatment to give to obese patients (BMI>=30) and the frequency of serious adverse events in these patients in which the dosage is then higher can be more important compared to non-obese patients. The aim of the study is then to evaluate the risk of occurrence of serious adverse events in obese patients and to identify risks factors.

This study consists in a retrospective cohort of obese patients treated for a bone or joint infection and having had a serious adverse event. Several data are collected concerning: demographics data, treatment responsible of the serious adverse event (molecules, dosage, route), description of the serious adverse event, residual rate for vancomycin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Description of all serious adverse events observed in obese patients and non-obese patients

    The data concerning the serious adverse events are collected in this Cohort. It is molecule, dosage, description of the adverse event. A severity grade is allocated to every adverse event, based on the " Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ". This is a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for Adverse Event (AE) reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term (from 1 to 5). Serious adverse events have a grade >=3. This description will highlight particular the antibiotics the most implicated in serious adverse events

    Measured: The patients included have presented a serious adverse event between 2008 and 2015

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analysis of accountability of the antibiotics in serious adverse events in obese patients

    A comparison of the serious adverse events is made between the group of obese patients, a group of non-obese patients treated for bone and joint infection and a group of obese patients treated for bone and joint infection but who had never had an adverse event. The role of the vancomycin in the serious adverse event will be compared in the 3 populations where the lean body mass (total mass of the skin, bones, muscles, organs and fluids of the human body), the fat body mass and the total mass will be used.

    Measured: The patients included have presented a serious adverse event between 2008 and 2015.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2016. 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 France. 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 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?

Description of all serious adverse events observed in obese patients and non-obese patients (time frame: The patients included have presented a serious adverse event between 2008 and 2015). 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 18 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
