Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Diagnosis

A prospective comparative study of antibiotic treatment regimens for PJI guided by MIC or MBEC combined with MIC, and how it affects infection resolution, drug
tolerability and relapse strain resistance patterns

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To determine the virulence properties (e.g. biofilm formation ability, biofilm antimicrobial resistance, and production of toxins) of clinical strains of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from PJI.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Periprosthetic hip joint infection Periprosthetic knee joint infection

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. First-time PJI in hip or knee according to Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) definitions; first DAIR (debridement, antibiotics and implant retention); mono-microbial staphylococcal infection; 14 days of intravenous treatment with either cloxacillin or vancomycin; standardized administration of local antibiotics.

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. Allergy/previous toxic event/unacceptable drug interaction to most effective antibiotic combination according to either MIC or MBEC; severe drug interactions to MBEC-guided compound. Pregnancy and women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Proportions of antimicrobial regimens other than 1st-line treatment that will be administered after the guidance of MIC-testing versus MIC- and MBEC-testing combined. [6 weeks]

Secondary endpoints 10

  1. Repeat procedure, relapse or reinfection [12 months]
  2. Oxford Hip Score/Oxford Knee Score [12 months]
  3. EQ-5D: Generic health status patient-reported outcome measure [12 months]
  4. Time to revision [12 months]
  5. Inpatient care: Resource consumption measure (days) [Up to 12 months]
  6. Outpatient visits: Resource consumption measure, number of visits, type of visits [Up to 12 months]
  7. Discharge destination: Resource consumption measure [Up to 12 months]
  8. Heath care costs: Compound measure using data from outcome 6-8 (currency EUR) [Time Frame: Up to 12 months]
  9. Development of additional antimicrobial resistance of the relapse causative strain [12 months]
  10. Correlation between the virulence properties of the causative bacteria and patient outcome (infection resolution versus recurrent infection) [12 months]
