About this study

Retrospective, regional, multicenter study (including the Annecy-Genevois Hospital Center, the Chambéry Métropole Savoie Hospital Center, and the Grenoble University Hospital Center), comparing a cohort of patients treated with Cefazolin with a cohort of patients treated with Penicillin M

Read the detailed description

The use of Cefazolin for the treatment of infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus meti - S has become commonplace in France following the stockout of injectable Penicillin M, the reference treatment, which occurred during 2016.

There is currently no clinical data to prejudge the efficacy of Cefazolin in the context of high inoculum, such as in the treatment of infective endocarditis.

On the other hand, recent data have described a better tolerance profile for Cefazolin than for Penicillin M.

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Cefazolin with that of Penicillin M in the management of methicillin-susceptible staphylococcal endocarditis, through the analysis of two retrospective cohorts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the efficacy of Cefazolin in the treatment of Staphylococcus meti -S infective endocarditis, with that of Penicillin M, by observing the rate of death, relapse of infective endocarditis and occurence of embolic event.

    The primary outcome is management failure, a composite outcome defined by the existence of at least one of the following:

    • Death before the end of treatment
    • Relapse of infective endocarditis, with the same germ, within 3 months of the end of antibiotic therapy
    • Occurrence of embolic event after antibiotic therapy

    Measured: Day 10 (End of antibiotic treatment according to national recommendations

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assessment of clinical and biological tolerance

    Occurrence of adverse events such as: acute renal failure, coagulation disorder, cytolysis

    Measured: 10 days (Occurrence of adverse events during the antibiotic treatment period)

  2. Description of clinical predictive factors of failure

    Collection of clinical data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Measured: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

  3. Description of microbiological predictive factors of failure

    Collection of microbiological data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Measured: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

  4. Description of ultrasound predictive factors of failure

    Collection of ultrasound data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Measured: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infectious Disease and Endocarditis, run by Centre Hospitalier Annecy Genevois at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2022. 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 France. 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?

Comparison of the efficacy of Cefazolin in the treatment of Staphylococcus meti -S infective endocarditis, with that of Penicillin M, by observing the rate of death, relapse of infective endocarditis and occurence of embolic event. (time frame: Day 10 (End of antibiotic treatment according to national recommendations). 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 26 Jul 2022.
