Enterococcus faecalis infectious endocarditis
Conditions
Brief summary
Treatment failure defined as confirmed recurrence of infective endocarditis due to Enterococcus faecalis (microbiological failure) one year after completion of antibiotic treatment
Detailed description
Treatment failure assessed up to one year after completion of treatment and defined as follows: mortality (therapeutic failure) from any cause during hospitalization or from endocarditis-related causes throughout the study., Number of unplanned cardiac surgeries during the entire study., Number of unplanned readmissions during the entire trial., Number of medication-related adverse events from randomisation until 30 days after the last dose administered., Total number of antibiotic treatment days, number of TADE treatment days in those patients who receive continuous infusion (experimental arm) and their site has a TADE programme, and number of healthcare-associated infections throughout the trial., Confirmed recurrence of Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis throughout the study., Minimum free serum concentration and steady-state plasma concentration of ceftriaxone and ampicillin for 24 hours on day 14 after initiation of treatment (visit 2) in the experimental arm., Pharmacokinetic parameters (volume of distribution, clearance, elimination constant) of ceftriaxone and ampicillin on day 14 after initiation of treatment (visit 2)., Synergistic activity will be calculated through the reduction of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of ampicillin induced by ceftriaxone in the strains responsible for recurrences and control strains.
