Comparison Between Two Durations of Antibiotherapy for Non-surgically-treated Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis (CHRONOS-2)
- Conditions
- Osteomyelitis - Foot
- Interventions
- Drug: Reduction in the duration of antibiotic therapy 3 weeks or 6 weeks
- Registration Number
- NCT05074147
- Lead Sponsor
- Tourcoing Hospital
- Brief Summary
The aim of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of 3 versus 6 weeks of antibiotherapy in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated medically.
- Detailed Description
The fight against multi-drug resistant bacteria is a global matter and a major health public issue. The excessive exposure of microorganisms to drugs increases their ability to develop survival mechanisms, causing an emerging threat and a health challenge.
Several recent studies showed that 18-35% of patients with diabetic foot infections harbored multiply drug-resistance to organisms (MDRO), the most common is Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Hospitalization, surgical procedures and long antibiotic therapy induce the development of MDRO or MRSA In diabetic foot, Osteomyelitis (DFO) is a well recognize risk factor for major amputation and mortality rates that occurs in more than 20% of moderate infections and 50% to 60 % of severe infections. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluated that reducing time of antibiotic administration (3 weeks) is not substantially worse than the current treatment guidelines (6 weeks) in DFO managed nonsurgically.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description 3 weeks antibiotherapy Reduction in the duration of antibiotic therapy 3 weeks or 6 weeks Patients are treated 3 weeks with appropriate antibiotics after antibiogram evaluation. 6 weeks antibiotherapy Reduction in the duration of antibiotic therapy 3 weeks or 6 weeks Patients are treated 6 weeks with appropriate antibiotics after antibiogram evaluation.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of treated patients achieving remission from the diabetic foot osteomyelitis at the end of follow-up 12 months Remission is defined as one of following events :
* No relapse of infection at the initial or a contiguous site leading to make a new antibiogram.
* Absence of pathology exacerbation visible by radiological results (comparison with Day 0)
* Absence of orthopedic surgery or amputation of the foot infected initially.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison in each group of patients of the time needed for a complete wound healing. 12 months A wound healing is complete with epithelial wound closure maintained 28 days minimum of the initial site of injury caused by osteomyelitis.
Rates of reinfection at the initial site in each group of patients. 12 months Reinfection is defined by a relapse of infection of soft tissues and osteomyelitis.
Rates of occurrence of a new wound after healing, on the same site initially traited in each group of patients. 12 months A new wound is defined by a skin injury under the malleolus evolving over three weeks.
Rates of occurrence of a new wound after healing on the same foot but not the same infection site in each group of patients. 12 months A new wound is defined by a skin injury under the malleolus evolving over three weeks.
Rates of major amputation in each group of patients. 12 months Major amputation is defined as an amputation above the ankle (malleolus).
Rates of occurrence of a peripheral neuroathropathy (Charcot foot) in each group of patients. 12 months Neurologic exam includes monofilament test and tuning fork test for assessing the loss of protective sensation.
Rates of amputation in each group of patients. 12 months Minor amputation is defined as an amputation below the ankle (malleolus). Major amputation is defined as an amputation above the ankle (malleolus).
