About this study

Official title: Metabolic Potentiation of Aminoglycosides: a Novel Antimicrobial Strategy to Prevent Urinary Tract Infections (UROPOT TRIAL).

Urinary tract hardware such as pig-tail catheters are are frequently used for management of urolithiasis or other obstructive pathologies. They are readily colonized by urogenital flora leading to asymptomatic bacteriuria. While asymptomatic bacteriuria is not per se a problem for patients, it may lead to severe infections in the context of hardware manipulation leading to mucosal damage (e.g. catheter exchanges or stone extraction). Such interventions therefore warrant an antibiotic prophylaxis. However, bacteria rapidly form biofilms on hardware; aside of fluoroquinolones, antibiotics have limited anti-biofilm activity. Furthermore, the widespread use of antibiotics has lead to resistant strains. Hence, novel antimicrobial strategies are needed. Recently, metabolism-based potentiation of aminoglycoside has shown high antimicrobial activity against persistent forms of bacteria such as biofilms in the context of murine catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Because of the highly favorable pharmacodynamic profile of aminoglycoside in the urinary tract and the metabolic potentiation, aminoglycosides can be reduced to levels with minimal toxicity.

UROPOT aims to compare the efficacy of potentiated aminoglycoside to standard of care for (i) prophylaxis of asymptomatic bacteriuria during urinary hardware manipulations with mucosal trauma (Pig-tail catheter exchange, stone surgery with prior in-dwelling catheter, etc.) and (ii) sustained microbiological eradication through antibiofilm activity. UROPOT will compare the rate of post-interventional urinary tract infections (primary outcome). It will also assess safety and eradication potency (microbiological outcome).

Read the detailed description

UROPOT is a randomized, single-centre, double-blind, pilot trial comparing a combination of aminoglycosides and mannitol to standard of care or aminoglycosides alone for the peri-operative antimicrobial prophylaxis of endourological procedures with mucosal trauma in the presence of hardware. Adults (≥18 years) scheduled for such procedures with mucosal trauma (stone surgery with hardware, pig-tail catheter exchanges) and having an asymptomatic bacteriuria E. coli or K. pneumoniae as identified 10 days prior to surgery, will be randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive standard prophylaxis (gen. Ceftriaxone 2 g) for 24 hours, a single dose of amikacin (6mg/kg i.v.) or a single dose of mannitol (pres. 2.5g i.v. bolus)/amikacin (3mg/kg i.v.). Sample size for the three groups will be constructed to demonstrate a non-inferiority for the clinical outcome (absence of infectious complication within 48 hours from operation) with a power of 80%. Complications in the absence of antimicrobial prophylaxis range from 2-10%. Patients will be excluded if baseline urine culture has another bacterial pathogen or E. coli or K. pneumoniae are documented to be aminoglycoside resistant. The primary endpoint will be the prevention of complications(clinical) that will be evaluated for non-inferiority compared to the accepted standard of care. i.e., within a 6% margin Assuming a rate of complication as low as 2%, the new treatments will be considered non-inferior if the corresponding rate of complication is not above 8% (i.e., 6% margin). This non-inferiority margin can be evaluated with a total for 128 patients per treatment arm, at 1-sided alpha of 5%, with power 80%, through an exact two-sample test for proportions. Two comparisons will be performed of arm A and of arm B versus standard of care (SoC). In addition, a microbiological outcome will be included to document higher biofilm eradication rate. This will be documented by sonication of extracted hardware as well as repeat urine culture at post-operative days 7 and 14 days (secondary outcomes). Safety will be monitored with a specific focus on nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. If highly efficient, this novel antimicrobial strategy would be expanded to treatment of complicated urinary tract infections.

What participants receive

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

  • mannitol-enhanced aminoglycosideCombination product

    Preselected patients with ureteral stents in situ who are scheduled to undergo endourological ureteral stent manipulation will have routine urine cultures prior to intervention.

    Procedures: Consented patients will be randomized for the type of antibiotic prophylaxis according to a global randomization list (i.e. CRO, AMK, AMK1/2+MAN)).

    Antibiotics (± mannitol) will be delivered in a single infusion that will be administered within 30 minutes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ceftriaxone (CRO)Active comparatorCeftriaxone infusion. Ceftriaxone is a beta-lactam antibiotic that is the standard-of-care antibiotic for prophylaxis of asymptomatic bacteriuria in Switzerland. The choice of 2000 mg delivered intravenously reflects the general practice.
Receives: Drug: Ceftriaxon
Aminoglycoside (AMK)Active comparatorAmikacin infusion Amikacin is an aminoglycoside routinely used in Australia (e.g. amikacin, gentamicin) as the standard of care for antibiotic prophylaxis for endourological treatments. It is also used globally for fever in neutropenia in hematological patients. Due to their relatively limited use, aminoglycosides have low resistance rates amongst Enterobacteriaceae. A single dose of 1000mg will be used intravenously
Receives: Drug: Amikacin
AminoglycosideLD + Mannitol (AMK1/2 + MAN)ExperimentalAmikacin + Mannitol combination The addition of Mannitol enhances bactericidal effect of amikacin in E.coli and K.pneumoniae in animal models and allows for a decrease of amikacin dosing. A single dose of 500mg (low dose or LD - decrease by 50%) systemic amikacin will be used intravenously in combination with 5 grams mannitol delivered intravenously.
Receives: Combination Product: mannitol-enhanced aminoglycoside

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2024. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sylvain Meylan, MD-PhD (+41795569418, sylvain.meylan@chuv.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Infection prophylaxis (time frame: 48 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT05761405, 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 8 Feb 2024.
