About this study

Bone and joint infections (BJI) is a public health issue in industrialized countries.

Implant-associated BJI, are complex hospital-acquired infections and eradication of the pathogen is challenging in such patients.

A prolonged antimicrobial therapy is usually required from 6 weeks to 3 months, but some patients are eligible to several years of treatment and most of patients report gastrointestinal troubles, such as nausea and mild to severe diarrhea (but very few developed C. difficile diarrhea).

Moreover, the host gut microbiota is probably largely affected in abundance, richness and diversity. Indeed, it is known, that few days of antibiotics are sufficient to induce significant alterations of the gut microbiota, also called dysbiosis.

Severe dysbiosis, which is potentially irreversible and associated with a definitive shift in the gut microbiota metabolism and host homeostasis, may lead to and/or promote a large panel of severe diseases such as Clostridium difficile infection, diabetes mellitus, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cirrhosis, neurological disorders and cancer. It may also be associated with BJI recurrence and then impact global health costs.

The main objective of this study is to constitute biobanking of stools and perform DNA sequencing of the gut microbiota in patients with acute or sub-acute implant-related Bone and Joint Infection (BJI), caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in the gut microbiota after treatment

    stools will be collected to perform DNA sequencing of the gut microbiota in patients with acute or sub-acute implant-related Bone and Joint Infection (BJI), caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

    Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Assessment of the evolution of intensity of Diarrheic Symptoms

    intensity of diarrheic symptoms will be collected at baseline, at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24) and 15 days after antibiotic stop (Week 8 or Week 26)

    Measured: from baseline to week 8 or week 26

  2. Assessment of the evolution of frequency of Diarrheic Symptoms

    frequency of diarrheic symptoms will be collected at baseline, at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24) and 15 days after antibiotic stop (Week 8 or Week 26)

    Measured: from baseline to week 8 or week 26

  3. Quantity of rectal acquisition of Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) bacteria under antibiotics measured by classic culture and quantification culture methods

    classic culture and quantification culture methods determined by microbiology analysis of the feces.

    Feces will be collected at baseline and at the end of treatment

    Measured: at week 6 or week 24

  4. gut dysbiosis measured by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Microbiota sequencing will be done after DNA extraction. Composition of the microbiota will be screened in feces samples using the shotgun sequencing method to establish a total picture of the gut composition and diversity as well as evolution of the microbiome.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

  5. severe post-antibiotic dysbiosis (SPAD) measured by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    Severe Post-Antibiotic Dysbiosis lead to irreversible change in gut microbiota status and systemic consequences for the host.

    Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

  6. Identification of markers of the gut dysbiosis (inflammatory proteins) measured by Elisa techniques

    ELISA techniques will be used to determine the concentration of 3 specific inflammatory stool epithelium proteins: zonulin, calprotectin and neopterin.

    Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

  7. Analysis of impact of Bone and Joint Infection on health-related quality of life in patients by EQ5D5L questionnaires

    EQ-5D questionnaire has 5 dimensions: "Mobility", "Human Autonomy," "Current Activities", "Pain / Discomfort", "Anxiety / Depression". All dimensions are described by 5 (EQ-5D-5L) problem levels corresponding to patient response choices.

    Questionnaire will be completed at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

  8. Analysis of impact of Bone and Joint Infection on health-related quality of life in patients by EQ5D3L questionnaire

    EQ-5D questionnaire has 5 dimensions: "Mobility", "Human Autonomy," "Current Activities", "Pain / Discomfort", "Anxiety / Depression". All dimensions are described by 3 (EQ-5D-3L) problem levels corresponding to patient response choices. In France, only the EQ-5D-3L has been validated, not yet the EQ-5D-5L which has only been translated.

    Questionnaire will be completed at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to week 26

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patients treated by antibiotherapy in people with Infection, Bacterial, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 4 sites 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: the study had to be stopped because the period of the Financial contract was over). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

change in the gut microbiota after treatment (time frame: from baseline to week 26). 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 5 Feb 2021.
