Eradication of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through antibiotics and fecal bacteriotherapy.

A randomized controlled multicenter trial of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by restoration of the gut microbiota using fecal transplantation to eradicate intestinal carriage of extended spectrum beta-lactamase or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in high-risk patients - R-GNOSIS WP3

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Assess the impact of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by fecal microbiota transplantation compared to no intervention on detectable intestinal carriage (by stool culture) of extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing and / or carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae 35-48 days after randomization;Secondary Objective: - Assess the impact of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by FMT compared to no intervention on the susceptibility to colistin of ESBL-E and CRE - Assess the safety and tolerability of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by FMT for eradication of intestinal ESBL-E and CRE carriage - Assess the impact of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by FMT compared to no intervention on the intestinal microbiome and resistome over time - Assess the impact of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by FMT compared to no intervention on the incidence of clinical infections with ESBL-E and CRE over the entire study period - Assess the impact of a five day course of oral colistin and neomycin followed by FMT compared to no intervention on systemic antibiotic use between both study groups - Assess the stability of the microbiome of donor stools after 3, 6, 12 , and 24 months of frozen storage;Primary end point(s): Intestinal carriage of ESBL-E / CRE (absence / presence by stool culture of any ESBL-E and / or CRE with enrichment independent of type of carriage at baseline) 35 to 48 days after randomization;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 35 to 48 days after randomization

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety and tolerability • Occurrence of any adverse drug reaction • Occurrence of any adverse event • Occurrence of any serious adverse event • Occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse events Microbiome • Change in intestinal microbiome and resistome in recipients over time • Assess the stability of the microbiome of donor stools after 3, 6, 12 , and 24 months of frozen storage Antibiotic resistance • Isolation of any not intrinsically colistin resistant strain of Enterobacteriaceae during follow-up (MIC> 2mg/l) • Change in colistin MIC between baseline and final follow-up Infections • Occurrence of any clinical infections with ESBL-E and CRE over the entire study period • ESBL-E and CRE infections per 100 patient months at risk (first infection with either) Antibiotic use • Use of any systemic antibiotics during the study period • Use of any antibiotics active against any of the colonizing ESBL-E / CRE strains • Use of any antibiotics active against at least one of the colonizing ESBL-E / CRE strains ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 8 -14 days, 15 -28 days, 35 - 48 days, 5-7and 24 months after randomization
