Trial summary

Staphylococci represent the first etiologic agents of bone and joint infection (BJI), leading glycopeptides use, especially in case of methicillin-resistance or betalactam intolerance. Read more about this study

About this study

Staphylococci represent the first etiologic agents of bone and joint infection (BJI), leading glycopeptides use, especially in case of methicillin-resistance or betalactam intolerance. Teicoplanin may represent an alternative to vancomycin because of its acceptable bone penetration and possible subcutaneous administration. Various studies have shown that teicoplanin pharmacodynamic profile was superior compared to vancomycin regarding bone diffusion. Few studies have investigated the use of teicoplanin in BJI, particularly through subcutaneous administration.

The aim of this study assesses the efficacy and tolerance of teicoplanin in S. aureus BJI, especially focusing on subcutaneous use. This study is a retrospective single-center observational cohort study (2001 to 2011) including all consecutive patients managed at our institution receiving teicoplanin as part of S. aureus BJI treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of teicoplanin in S.aureus bone and joint infection

    The median total duration of follow-up is 90 weeks. Outcome of patients having had teicoplanin is described in this part. Treatment failure is defined as persisting infection under appropriate antimicrobial therapy, relapse after the interruption of antimicrobial therapy, necessity of surgical revision on the account of persisting septic focus ≥5 days after the first intervention, superinfections, and/or fatal outcome if BJI-related.

    The results obtained with IV or SC administration are compared.

    Measured: 90 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tolerance of teicoplanin in S.aureus bone and joint infection

    The median total duration of teicoplanin therapy is 6 weeks (IV or SC). Teicoplanin-related adverse events (AE) occurring during follow-up are notified and classified according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, National Cancer Institute, 2003). Teicoplanin accountability in the AE occurrence is left to the clinician appreciation, with the help of a pharmacovigilance specialist in doubtful cases.

    The results obtained with IV or SC administration are compared.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Pharmacocinetiks characteristics : Cmin value

    During the first 14 days of treatment, at least one Cmin value is available. A Cmin >15 mg/L is taken as an acceptable therapeutic target. Patients with a Cmin >25 mg/L is considered as overexposure.

    (The results for overexposure and Cmin under the therapeutic target are compared for IV and SC administration.)

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Teicoplanin-based Antimicrobial Therapy and Staphylococcus Aureus, 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2017. 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?

Efficacy of teicoplanin in S.aureus bone and joint infection (time frame: 90 weeks). 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 6 Jun 2017.
