Trial summary

This project aims at investigating the duration of human fecal carriage of bacteria harboring plasmid-borne resistance genes expressing Extended Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), risk factors for infections with such bacteria and persistence, mobility and spread of ESBL in the environment and within households.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients living in Eastern Norway who have an urine submitted for culturing to the Department of Medical Microbiology, Vestre Viken Hospital Trust, which covers an area of about 450.000 inhabitants. All patients with an bacteria producing ESBL were eligible while patients without ESBL producing bacteria were randomly sampled.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients >=18 of age with a urine culture yielding E. coli or K. pneumoniae >10.000 colony forming units/mL.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have lived in Norway for <1 year
  • Patients who are unable to answer a questionaire
  • Patients who have been infected with an ESBL producing bacteria before
  • Patients who have been admitted to a hospital or a long term care facility for >24 hours during the past 31 days.

About this study

Official title: Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases - Treatment, Carriage, Environmental Dissemination And Population Epidemiology

This project aims at investigating the duration of human fecal carriage of bacteria harboring plasmid-borne resistance genes expressing Extended Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), risk factors for infections with such bacteria and persistence, mobility and spread of ESBL in the environment and within households. It also aims to compare different methods of detecting ESBL carriage and treat patients with urinary tract infection caused by these bacteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Failure

    Patients included in the study with urinary tract infection (UTI) and treated as part of normal routine were followed for 14 days and further prescriptions of antimicrobials normally used for treatment of UTI will be considered treatment failures. Only participants that received pivmecillinam are reported here. In the paper published in PlosOne "High Rate of Per Oral Mecillinam Treatment Failure in Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections Caused by ESBL-Producing Escherichia coli" the mecillinam treatment group were compared with the group that did not receive mecillinam.

    Measured: 14 days after initiation of treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subjective Outcome

    A patient form will be filled in. Data about cessation of symptoms of urinary tract infection will be recorded.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Tract Infection and Infection Due to ESBL Bacteria, run by Vestre Viken Hospital Trust.

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 4 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 23 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Treatment Failure (time frame: 14 days after initiation of 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 NCT01838213, which also lists 3 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 23 Nov 2015.
