Conditions

Endocarditis Infective

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

Inclusion criteria

* Left-sided native or prosthetic infective endocarditis based on the modified Duke criteria infected with one of the following nonresistant microorganisms: Non-resistant streptococci and other gram positive cocci,e.g., Granulicatella and Abiotrophia; Enterococcus faecalis; Staphylococcus aureus;coagulase-negative staphylococci and HACEK group. * Male or female 18 years old or older. * 10 days or more of appropriate parenteral antibiotic treatment overall and at least one week of appropriate parenteral treatment after value surgery. * Temperature inferior to 38ºC for more than two days. 5. C-reactive protein dropped to \<25% of peak value or \<20 mg/l, and white blood cell count \<15x10\^9/l during antibiotic treatment * Transthoracic / transesophageal echocardiography performed within 48 hours of randomization

Exclusion criteria

* Body mass index \>40 * Concomitant infection requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy * Inability to give informed consent to participation * Suspicion of reduced absorption of oral treatment due to abdominal disorder * Microorganisms with no oral combinations for treatment (two active antibiotics of different families) * Any immunosuppressive disease or any medical condition at the discretion of the investigator that may preclude oral or OPAT therapy * No family or appropriate home support * Reduced compliance * Women of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test, or participants (male or female) who wish to plan a pregnancy during the trial period * Women in lactancy period

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of unplanned hospitalizationsAt 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 mortalityAt 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 Endocarditiswithin 6 months from diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis
Non-inferiority of outpatient oral vs parenteral antibiotic therapy measured by the number of patients requiring cardiac surgeryAt any time during the study duration (up to 24 months)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of life and patient satisfaction of infective endocarditis patients. It will be measured through the standardized Saillen questionnaire of antibiotic treatment satisfactionAt 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. 2014At 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 superinfectionsAt 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
