Efficacy of Daptomycin Plus Fosfomycin Versus Daptomycin for Treatment of MRSA Bacteremia
- Conditions
- Staph Aureus Methicillin Resistant Bacteremia
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01898338
- Lead Sponsor
- Miquel Pujol
- Brief Summary
To demonstrate that the combination of daptomycin and fosfomycin is superior to daptomycin alone in the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia.
- Detailed Description
The mortality associated to MRSA bacteremia remains higher than 30% of episodes despite the availability of new antibiotics. Objective: To demonstrate that the combination of daptomycin and fosfomycin is superior to daptomycin alone in the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. Design: Randomized, open-label and multicenter study. Intervention: Patients with MRSA bacteremia will be randomized (1:1) in Group 1: daptomycin 10mg/Kg/24h intravenous (iv) and Group 2: daptomycin 10 mg/kg/24 iv plus fosfomycin and 2g/6h iv. Duration of therapy will be 10-14 days for uncomplicated bacteremia and up to 42 days for complicated bacteremia. Follow up: There will be a clinical and microbiological evaluation at baseline, during treatment and at week 6 after the end of therapy (test of cure visit, TOC). Complicated bacteremia was considered if: a) persistence of a positive blood culture at 72-96 h from the start of antibiotic, b) evidence of spread of infection (metastatic infection) c) infection involving a non-removable device in less than 4 days. Sample size: Assuming 60% cure rate with daptomycin and a 20% difference in cure rates between both groups, we estimated that 103 patients will be needed for each group (α:0.05, ß: 0.2). Main endpoint: clinical and microbiological response at the TOC visit. Treatment success was defined as the resolution of clinical signs and symptoms and negative blood culture. Treatment failure was defined if any of the following situations: a) lack of clinical response at 72 h or more after initiation of the study therapy b) persistent bacteremia (positive blood culture on day 7 after randomization), c) withdrawal of treatment due to adverse effects or for any other reason based on clinical judgment. d) relapse of MRSA bacteremia before the TOC visit e) death for any reason before the TOC visit. Secondary endpoints: evaluation in both groups of clinical and microbiological response at end of therapy (EOT visit); mortality at EOT and TOC visit; persistent MRSA bacteremia; recurrence of MRSA bacteremia (positive blood culture when previous ones were negative); emergence of daptomycin or fosfomycin resistance and severe adverse effects.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Therapy response at week 6 after end of therapy (an average of 8 to 12 weeks from the beginnig of therapy) Therapy response is considered if clinical and microbiological response is achieved at week 6 after end of therapy
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mortality participants will be followed an average of 8 to 12 weeks from the begining of therapy Severe adverse effects participants will be followed an average of 8 to 12 weeks from the begining of therapy whatever
Bacteremia recurrence participants will be followed an average of 8 to 12 weeks from the begining of therapy Defined as a positive blood culture to MRSA when previous ones were negative
Number of persistent bacteremia participants will be followed an average of 8 to 12 weeks from the begining of therapy Defined as a positive blood culture on day 7 after starting the study therapy
Therapy response at end of therapy (EOT visit) at end of therapy Success is considered if clinical resolution and negative blood culture at end of therapy.
