Trial summary

The empirical use of vancomycin in combination with a broad-spectrum beta-lactam is currently recommended after the initial surgery of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the tolerability of such high-dose intravenous regimens is poorly known. T Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Tolerance of Vancomycin in Combination With Piperacillin/Tazobactam or Cefepim as Empirical Antimicrobial Therapy of Prosthetic Joint Infection

The empirical use of vancomycin in combination with a broad-spectrum beta-lactam is currently recommended after the initial surgery of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the tolerability of such high-dose intravenous regimens is poorly known. T

Read the detailed description

The empirical use of vancomycin in combination with a broad-spectrum beta-lactam is currently recommended after the initial surgery of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the tolerability of such high-dose intravenous regimens is poorly known. The empirical antimicrobial therapy of PJI is associated with an important rate of adverse, linked with the use of the vancomycin and the piperacillin-tazobactam combination. Some studies suggest to use vancomycin-cefepime, which remains to be evaluated in PJI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Treatment Failure

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

    Measured: Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. rate of adverse events

    Description of adverses events leading to stop the empirical treatment

    Measured: Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption

  2. rate of bacteria responsible for infection

    bacterial epidemiology

    Measured: Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone 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 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 22 Sep 2023. 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?

Rate of Treatment Failure (time frame: Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption). 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 22 Sep 2023.
