Trial summary

The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria found in urine sample cultures has been increasing over the past decades. The study hypothesis is to assess the clinical and microbiological outcome of pivmecillinam treatment of ESBL producing E. coli and K. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: What is the Outcome of Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections Caused by Bacteria Producing Extended Spectrum Betalactamase in a Primary Care Setting?

The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria found in urine sample cultures has been increasing over the past decades.

The study hypothesis is to assess the clinical and microbiological outcome of pivmecillinam treatment of ESBL producing E. coli and K. Pneumoni, as well as to observe the clinical and microbiological outcome of the same group of bacteria treated with other antiinfectious agents.

Samples are gathered in primary care setting.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01531023
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ESBL producing E. coli bacteriaGroup of patients with identified ESBL producing E.coli in a urine sample taken in a primary care setting.
Non-ESBL E.coli urinary tract infectionE.coli bacteria found in the setting of a urinary tract infection in a primary care setting where ESBL producing bacteria are not found.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of days until symptomatic resolution

    Number of days from the start of treatment that the patient feels completely free of urinary tract symptoms Number of days after start of antibiotic treatment with mecillinam when the patient feels free of symptoms from the urinary tract

    Measured: Two weeks after finishing the primary antibiotic treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of patients with ESBL producing bacteria detected in a urine sample taken two weeks after finishing initial treatment

    Measured: Two weeks after end of initial treatment

  2. Number of patients who received a second treatment regime in the follow-up period

    Number of patients who received a secondary antibiotic treatment to obtain clinical cure.

    Measured: 2 weeks after end of initial treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Tract Infections, run by University of Oslo at 7 sites in Norway.

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 2 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 31 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Norway. 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?

Number of days until symptomatic resolution (time frame: Two weeks after finishing the primary antibiotic treatment). 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 NCT01531023, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Oct 2016.
