Trial summary

Treatment for bone and joint infection (BJI) is not standardized, which allows a wide range of antibiotic therapy to potentially be given, most often in high doses over long periods of time. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study : Side Effects of Antibiotics in Bone and Joint Infections

Treatment for bone and joint infection (BJI) is not standardized, which allows a wide range of antibiotic therapy to potentially be given, most often in high doses over long periods of time. Patients are regularly confronted with the adverse effects of these antibiotics, which can lead to loss of adherence and treatment failure. The frequency, severity and impact on quality of life of the adverse effects of long-term antibiotics will be studied in a cohort followed for one year.

Read the detailed description

Treatment for bone and joint infection is not standardized, which allows a wide range of antibiotic therapy to potentially be given, most often in high doses over long periods of time. Patients are regularly confronted with the adverse effects of these antibiotics, which can lead to loss of adherence and treatment failure. Although patients with BJI receive regular follow-up, the impact of adverse events during treatments lasting more than a month is still poorly developed in the literature.

The frequency, severity and impact on quality of life of the adverse effects of long-term antibiotics will be studied in a cohort followed for one year.

The investigators believe that this study will improve the management of osteoarticular infections through a better understanding of the adverse effects associated with prolonged, high-dose antibiotic therapy, and encourage more multidisciplinary follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse reactions

    Changes in number, severity of clinical and biological adverse reactions to antibiotics reported by patients during follow-up of osteoarticular infections.

    Measured: Day 15

  2. Adverse reactions

    Changes in number, severity of clinical and biological adverse reactions to antibiotics reported by patients during follow-up of osteoarticular infections.

    Measured: Day 45

  3. Adverse reactions

    Changes in number, severity of clinical and biological adverse reactions to antibiotics reported by patients during follow-up of osteoarticular infections.

    Measured: Day 90

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Treatment failure

    In the absence of the criterion of certainty, probable failure is defined by clinical (fever, pain, functional impotence, etc.), radiological (edging, signs of osteitis, etc.) and biological (increased CRP, hyperleukocytosis in the absence of any other cause) arguments.

    Measured: Day 15, day 45, day 90

  2. compliance of treatment

    Analysis of compliance and discontinuation of treatment, taking into account the adverse reaction profile.

    Measured: Day 15, day 45, day 90

  3. Drug interactions

    Analysis of drug interactions between antibiotic therapy for BJI and the patient's usual treatments at initiation and at each follow-up consultation.

    Measured: Day 15, day 45, day 90

  4. EQ5D-5L

    Quality of life will be assessed using the EuroQol 5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L) score questionnaire at the end of follow-up. Each one of the 5 scales goes from 1 to 5, 1 being the best possible outcome while 5 being the worst.

    Measured: Day 365

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Infection and Joint Infection, run by University Hospital, Tours 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 6 May 2026. 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?

Adverse reactions (time frame: Day 15). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 May 2026.
