Endocarditis Infective
Conditions
Brief summary
Non-inferiority trial to determine whether partial oral treatment is non-inferior to OPAT(Outpatient parenteral therapy) in patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis
Detailed description
The trial will include patients diagnosed with left-side Infective Endocarditis according to the modified Duke criteria, with ≥10 days of appropriate parenteral antibiotic treatment overall and at least one week of appropriate parenteral treatment after valve surgery The patients will be randomized in two arms, one with oral antibiotic therapy and the other one with outpatient parenteral therapy This trial aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of outpatient oral antibiotic therapy in comparison with outpatient parenteral antibiotic treatment (OPAT), to improve the quality of life of infective endocarditis (IE) patients, and to reduce the cost of the intervention without increasing morbidity and mortality rates

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of unplanned hospitalizations | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) |
| Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of all-cause mortality | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) |
| Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of relapses of Infective Endocarditis | within 6 months from diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis |
| Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of patients requiring cardiac surgery | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of life and patient satisfaction of infective endocarditis patients. It will be measured through the standardized Saillen questionnaire of antibiotic treatment satisfaction | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) | — |
| Costs of both interventions, measured through a pharmaco-economic sub-study including direct and indirect costs, following the methodology described by Lacroix A et al Med Mal Infect. 2014 | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) | through a pharmacoeconomic analysis |
| The complications related to parenteral and oral administration of antibiotics will be measured through the number of antibiotic adverse reactions, catheter-related adverse events, and number of superinfections | At any time during the study duration (up to 24 months) | such as antibiotic or catheter-related adverse events e.g.,phlebitis and line-related bloodstream infections, and superinfections |
