About this study

Official title: Randomized Controled Multicentric Trial, of Non Inferiority, Comparing Two Durations of Antibiotherapy (5 Days Versus 10 Days) in COMMUNAUTARY Acute Uncomplicated Pyelonephritis.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 5 days versus 10 days treatment duration in uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis.

Acute pyelonephritis is a common disease and the treatment duration is not found on scientific evidence. If a short treatment is equal to standard duration, it will possible to shortening antibiotherapy with ecologic and economic advantage.

Read the detailed description
  1. State of the issue and objective of the research The acute pyelonephritis (AP) represent the most frequent COMMUNAUTARY bacterial infection. Currently, usual recommended duration of antibiotherapy for this disease is from 10 to 21 days. The duration of treatment is not based on scientific evidence. Shortening duration of antibiotherapy would improve patient's life quality of and compliance and reduce side effects, duration of hospitalization, cost of treatment and probably limit bacterial resistance. The main objective of this study is to compare the rates of clinical and microbiological cure at 30 ± 5 days after the end of antibiotherapy in uncomplicated AP of young women, according to the duration of antibiotic treatment: 5 days versus 10 days.
  2. People involved Patients with uncomplicated AP, will be offered to participate to the study after consultation in emergency room service or health service, in absence of non-inclusion criteria (immunodepression known, severe sepsis, allergy to antibiotics, pregnancy, lactation ...). In presence of abscesses, obstruction on the urinary tract, or infection on stranger material device requiring, in most cases, a medical-surgical treatment, they will not be eligible under the study.
  3. Methods of observation or investigation restraint Non-inferiority multicenter trial, randomized in 2 parallel groups evaluating antibiotic treatment (5d vs 10d) in the uncomplicated AP. Recruitment and follow-up: The management of the patient will initially be provided by emergency room department or the hospital clinic. After signing the consent and inclusion (J0), the patient will receive an initial assessment, the initiation of antibiotic therapy and care. Then it will be:
  • Either in a hospital service who will follow.
  • Either by ambulatory monitoring and regularly contacted (phone with voice server) to ensure proper development. Randomisation will take place in J0. Finally, in all cases, a final visit will be set at J30 ± 5Day.
  1. Origin and nature of the data collected - Reasons for them Data for the study duration of treatment of pyelonephritis are from information provided by patients. The nature of the data include: name, surname, date of birth, medical data (medical history, history of the disease, symptoms of infection) and telephone numbers of the patient. The collection of these numbers is essential for monitoring the patient.
  2. Method for data flow These data will be confidential and only, the physician investigator, the scientific coordinator doctor, the doctor treating the patient and the clinical research fellow, will have access to this information. These data will be computerized and protected by a personal access code.
  3. Duration and modalities of the research The duration of the research will be a maximum of 24 months (the duration is 12 months for inclusion and follow-up of 310 patients).

Research will multicenter (26 centers at most) and led by principal investigator (Pr. Louis Bernard) and the scientific coordinator (Dr. AURELIEN DINH) At the end of the study, all data will be destroyed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the rates of clinical and microbiological cure at 30 ± 5 days of the end of antibiotherapy in acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis of young women, according to the duration of antibiotherapy: 5 days versus 10 days.

    Measured: 35 DAYS

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Evaluate the effectiveness bacteriological (ECBU negative direct examination and culture) of treatment to 30 ± 5 days of the end of antibiotherapy

    Measured: 35 DAYS

  2. Evaluate the clinical effectiveness of treatment: apyrexia and disappearance of clinical signs initial J2 ± 1; J5 ± 1, ± 1 of J10 beginning of treatment and 30 ± 5 days of the end of antibiotherapy,

    Measured: 35 DAYS

  3. Identifying risk factors for failure of antibiotic treatment (co-morbidities, bacteremia)

    Measured: 35 DAYS

  4. Assessing the tolerance of the antibiotic, the presence of adverse events related to drug

    Measured: 35 DAYS

  5. To assess adherence to treatment, the proportion of patients observant good, average and low observant

    Measured: 35 DAYS

  6. Assess the changes in sensitivity to antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) in the nasal flora, pharyngeal and digestive.

    Measured: 35 DAYS

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 7 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Compare the rates of clinical and microbiological cure at 30 ± 5 days of the end of antibiotherapy in acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis of young women, according to the duration of antibiotherapy: 5 days versus 10 days. (time frame: 35 DAYS). 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.
