About this study

Infective endocarditis is a complex infection that can be life-threatening. These infections also cause anatomical lesions that can be severe. Their management is complex and involves several disciplines: cardiology, bacteriologists, infectious diseases specialists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, cardiac surgeons, neurologists, pharmacologists, etc. The incidence of Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis is increasing due to the aging of the population and the disappearance of rheumatic fever. The adequate management of these infections is complex and relies on the prolonged administration of high-dose antibiotics, classically the combination of amoxicillin and ceftriaxone. In the context of Streptococcal endocarditis, the impact of increasing the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of amoxicillin on patient mortality has been demonstrated but no study has yet examined the impact of increasing the MIC of amoxicillin on the outcome of patients treated for Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis.

Medical subject headings
Endocarditis, Subacute Bacterial

What is being measured

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

  1. Describe the epidemiology and clinical presentations of patients with Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis

    This outcome corresponds to the evaluation of factors associated with mortality in patients with Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis.

    Measured: Month 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Impact of increasing the minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin on the outcome of Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis

    This outcome corresponds to the description of the epidemiology of Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis in France.

    Measured: Month 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infectious Endocarditis, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 2 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 13 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 2 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 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?

Describe the epidemiology and clinical presentations of patients with Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis (time frame: Month 1). 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 NCT05530837, which also lists 4 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 13 Sep 2023.
