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

Who may be able to join

  • Definite IE, according to modified ESC 2015 criteria, caused by gram-positive cocci (staphylococci, streptococci and enterococci), including native, prosthetic valve IE and cardiac device-related IE.
  • 18 years old or older.
  • Patients treated for at least 10 days of appropriate parenteral antibiotic therapy overall (according to guidelines and microbiology sensitivity testing), and at least 7 days of parenteral antibiotic therapy after valve surgery when indicated.
  • Absence of fever, microbiological or analytical findings suggesting persistent infection at randomization.
  • Absence of locally uncontrolled infection signs (abscess, pseudoaneurysm, fistula, enlarging vegetation) at randomization, confirmed by recent transesophageal echocardiography (performed within 48 h of randomization).

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received appropriate parenteral antibiotic therapy for infective endocarditis for more than 12 days.
  • Patients not suitable to be discharged after 10 days of conventional treatment, due to clinical reasons (sequels of stroke that prevent discharge, progressive renal failure, hepatic failure).

About this study

Official title: Short-course Antibiotic Regimen Compared to Conventional Antibiotic Treatment for Gram-positive Cocci Infective Endocarditis: Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: it is well known that most serious complications of infective endocarditis (IE) appear in the so-called "critical phase" of the disease, which are the first days after diagnosis. Subsequently, the vast majority of patients who overcome this acute phase has a favourable evolution, and usually stay in the hospital for a long time only to complete antibiotic therapy.

In stable patients with adequate response to antibiotic treatment, without signs of persistent infection or metastatic foci such as spondylodiscitis, it is likely that a shorter antibiotic regimen would be an efficient and safe alternative, as has already been confirmed in patients with IE on tricuspid valves caused by a microorganism considered virulent such as S. aureus. This attractive alternative would improve patients' quality of life, save costs, and decrease the risk of complications related to the adverse effects of prolonged antibiotic treatment.

Objectives: to compare the incidence of the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, unplanned cardiac surgery, symptomatic embolisms and relapses within 6 months after the inclusion between patients with IE caused by gram-positive cocci receiving a short-course of 2 weeks of antibiotic therapy and those patients receiving conventional antibiotic therapy (4-6 weeks).

Methodology: multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled open-label, phase IV clinical trial. Sample: patients with IE caused by gram-positive cocci, having received at least 10 days of conventional antibiotic treatment, and at least 7 days after surgery when indicated, without clinical, analytical, microbiological or echocardiographic signs of persistent infection. Estimated sample size: 298 patients. Intervention: Control group: standard antibiotic therapy, according to ESC guidelines recommendations, for 4 to 6 weeks. Experimental group: short-course antibiotic therapy for 2 weeks. The prevalence of previously known risk factors for adverse events will be compared between the two groups to confirm that randomization have worked properly. The incidence of the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, unplanned cardiac surgery, symptomatic embolisms and relapses within 6 months after the inclusion in the study will be prospectively registered and compared.

What participants receive

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

  • AntibioticsDrug

    Patients allocated to this group will receive a short course of antibiotic therapy for 2 weeks.

  • AntibioticsDrug

    Patients allocated to continue with standard parenteral treatment will maintain the same antibiotic treatment for 4 to 6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite endopoint

    To compare the incidence of the composite endpoint that includes all-cause mortality, unplanned cardiac surgery, symptomatic embolisms and relapses within 6 months after the inclusion, between patients with IE caused by gram-positive cocci receiving a short course of 2 weeks of antibiotic therapy and those patients receiving conventional antibiotic therapy for 4-6 weeks.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Perceived quality of life: SF-12

    Determination of quality of life (SF-12)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Functional performance

    Determination of functional performance according to the short performance physical battery test (SPPB)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Clinical complications

    Clinical complications related to hospital stay (nosocomial infections, intravascular catheter-related infections)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Total hospital length of stay

    Total hospital length of stay in the next 6 months after the inclusion in the study

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Antibiotics in people with Endocarditis, Bacterial, run by Carmen Olmos Blanco at 1 site in Spain.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 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 1 site in Spain. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Inability to reach the estimated sample size). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Composite endopoint (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT04222257, 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 28 Sep 2023.
