Trial summary

Osteomyelitis is a risk factor for lower extremity amputation in diabetic people. Antibiotic therapy allows a remission in 60 to 80% of cases. However the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy remains controversy due to the absence of validated marker of osteomyelitis remission. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of White Blood Cell SPECT/CT in Monitoring Antibiotic Treatment in Patients With Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis

Osteomyelitis is a risk factor for lower extremity amputation in diabetic people. Antibiotic therapy allows a remission in 60 to 80% of cases. However the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy remains controversy due to the absence of validated marker of osteomyelitis remission. We have previously shown that the negativity of white blood cell SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography) imaging at the end of treatment allowed to predict remission of osteomyelitis at 1 year in all cases. A positive imaging was associated with recurrence in 70% of cases. The aim of our study was to evaluate prospectively the interest of white blood cell SPECT/CT to set the duration of antibiotic therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of remission of osteomyelitis at one year after the cessation of antibiotic treatment, evaluated by white blood cell SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography).

    The outcome measure was reviewed by patient examination at least 12 months after completion of antibiotic treatment. A remission was defined by :

    • the absence of recurrent infection at the initial site
    • no need for surgical bone resection or amputation

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of osteomyelitis remission at one year after a 6 weeks antibiotics duration, evaluated by white blood cell SPECT/CT

    The outcome measure was reviewed by patient examination at least 12 months after completion of antibiotic treatment. A remission was defined by :

    • the absence of recurrent infection at the initial site
    • no need for surgical bone resection or amputation

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

  2. Sensibility ration of White Blood Cell SPECT/CT performed at the end of antibiotic treatment to predict the remission of osteomyelitis at one year.

    Sensibility ratio= number of true positive /number of (true positive+false negative)

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

  3. Specificity ratio of White Blood Cell SPECT/CT performed at the end of antibiotic treatment to predict the remission of osteomyelitis at one year.

    Specificity ratio= number of true negative /number of (true negative+false positive)

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

  4. Positive predictive value of White Blood Cell SPECT/CT performed at the end of antibiotic treatment to predict the remission of osteomyelitis at one year.

    Positive predictive value = number of true positive / number of (true positive+false positive)

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

  5. Negative predictive value of White Blood Cell SPECT/CT performed at the end of antibiotic treatment to predict the remission of osteomyelitis at one year.

    Negative predictive value = number of true negative / number of (true negative+false negative)

    Measured: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis, 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 7 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Julien Vouillarmet, MD ((4) 78 86 14 89 ext. +33, julien.vouillarmet@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of remission of osteomyelitis at one year after the cessation of antibiotic treatment, evaluated by white blood cell SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography). (time frame: one year after the end of the antibiotic treatment). 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 NCT02927678, which also lists 2 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 7 Oct 2016.
