About this study

For patients having a bone or joint infections, with or without device, optimal surgical therapy could be sometimes non-feasible, especially in the elderly population. Therefore, a medical therapy with oral prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy (PSAT) seems to be an option to prevent recurrence and prosthesis loosening.

Subcutaneous (SC) administration of injectable intravenous antibiotics as prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy could be a convenient way when oral treatment is not available to facilitate ambulatory care, this practice being considered as routine care.

The aim of this study is to evaluate tolerance and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of antibiotics for prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in patients having this treatment as part of their routine care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Description of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT

    In case of PSAT (prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy), the duration could be several years.

    The data collected are: name of molecule, rough, posology, duration.

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tolerance of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT

    In case of PSAT (prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy), the duration could be several years.

    This outcome will focus on severe adverse events induced by this sub-cutaneous and prolonged antibiotic therapy.

    Qualification of an adverse event is made using the CTCAE terminology: this terminology attributes a grade for every adverse event. There are 5 grades and a grade refers to the severity of the adverse event. A severe adverse event has a grade >=3.

    Measured: 60 months

  2. Efficacy of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT

    A treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin.

    Measured: 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Infection and Joint Infection, 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT (time frame: 60 months). 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 NCT03403608, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
