About this study

Official title: Phase II, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Daptomycin in the Treatment of Catheter-Related Staphylococcus Aureus Bloodstream Infections

Primary Objective:

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of daptomycin given for treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections due to S. aureus bacteria with or without exchange of the central venous catheter (CVC) over guide wire in comparison with a historical control group of catheter-related S. aureus bacteremia treated with standard therapy (Vancomycin) or other active agents against staph aureus (such as beta-lactam antibiotics).

Read the detailed description

Daptomycin is a new antibiotic. It may be effective against a variety of bacterial infections that are difficult to treat.

Aztreonam, Cefepime, Carbapenems and Augmentin are antibiotics that are used to treat certain types of bacteria.

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be given daptomycin by vein for at least 10 days, depending on your certain type of bacteria. You will receive Daptomycin by vein for 30 minutes every 24 hours.

The CVC associated with CRBSI (catheter-related bloodstream infection = CR-BSI) from all enrolled patients will either be removed or be exchanged over guide wire for a new CVC within 96 hours of onset of the first blood culture. Your primary doctor will decide whether to remove or exchange the CVC with the willingness of you.

If the study doctor and/or your primary physician knows or thinks that you have a mixed infection (both "gram positive" and "gram negative") or may have infection in lungs (pneumonia), you may also be treated with the antibiotic drugs Aztreonam, Cefepime, Carbapenems, or Augmentin by vein or by mouth in combination with the study drug Daptomycin.

During each week of treatment, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine lab tests. The blood sample may be drawn from the CVC, if the CVC is still in place. In addition, blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn every other day until it no longer shows signs of infection. The catheter exit site may be examined at each visit until you have no more signs or symptoms of infection. If you are discharged from the hospital before completing the study medication, arrangements will be made to provide infusions on an out-patient basis or home infusion.

During each week of treatment, you will be asked about any symptoms or illnesses that you have experienced. In addition, you will be asked to inform the study doctor and/or study staff of any medications or therapies that you are taking while on study. You will be taken off study if the infection gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

Participation on this study will last for a no more than 60 days. If you have been discharged from the hospital, the end of treatment visit will take place within 7 -14 days of the last day of study drug. You will need to return for the visit on an outpatient basis.

At this visit, you will have a physical exam, including measurement of vital signs (heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure). Blood samples (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine test and to check for infection. The blood sample may be drawn from the CVC, if the CVC is still in place. The CVC exit site will be examined. You will be asked about any symptoms or illnesses that you may have experienced. In addition, you will be asked to inform the study doctor and/or study staff of any medications or therapies that you are taking.

You will have a follow-up exam between 32 (+/- 7) days after your last dose of study drug. You will have a physical exam, including measurement of vital signs (heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure). Blood (about one tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests and to check for infection. The blood samples may be drawn from the CVC, if the CVC is still in place. The CVC exit site may be examined. You will be asked about any symptoms or illnesses that you may have experienced. In addition, you will be asked to inform the study doctor and/or study staff of any medications or therapies that you are taking. Participation on this study will end once you complete the follow-up visit.

This is an investigational study. Daptomycin is approved by the FDA for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infection. However, for the use described in this study and at this dose level, Daptomycin is authorized by the FDA for use in research only. About 50 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at the University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daptomycin in people with Staphylococcus Aureus, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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 20 Jul 2016. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Clinical Response Rate (time frame: 7 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 20 Jul 2016.
