简要总结
Purpose: There has been a recent, rapid increase in prevalence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among patients with Cystic Fibrosis (22% across US CF centers in 2009). Some epidemiologic studies suggest possible worse outcomes, a recent analyses showing this with chronic but not intermittent MRSA. Given the chronic difficult to treat lung infections in CF it is unclear how the onset of MRSA should be approached. This randomized, controlled, interventional study seeks to determine if an early eradication protocol is effective for eradication of MRSA and will provide an opportunity to obtain data regarding early clinical impact of new isolation of MRSA.
Participants: Cystic fibrosis patients with new isolation of MRSA from their respiratory culture on a routine clinic visit.
Procedures (methods): Randomized, open-label, multi-center study comparing use of an eradication protocol to an observational group who receives the current standard of care i.e. treatment for MRSA only with pulmonary exacerbations.
详细描述
The STAR-too study is a randomized, open label, multi-center study in CF patients with new MRSA isolated from the respiratory tract (sputum or oropharyngeal (OP) swab). The purpose of the study is to compare use of a two week eradication treatment protocol to an observational group treated for MRSA only when respiratory symptoms meet the criteria for a protocol defined pulmonary exacerbation during the first 28 days of the study. A total of 90 participants, four years of age or older, with new MRSA infection are planned to be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to either the treatment arm or to the observational control arm. Randomization is stratified by age, P. aeruginosa status at screening and site. Each participant randomized to the treatment arm receives two oral antibiotics for 14 days, topical antibacterial treatment of skin and nares, and a three week environmental decontamination for high risk areas and equipment. Each participant randomized to the observational control arm is followed clinically with usual care except to treat new or worsening pulmonary symptoms with antibiotics between screening and Day 28 only when participant meets criteria for a protocol defined exacerbation. Participants continue in the study for 6 months with study visits at Day 84 and Day 168 corresponding with their normal quarterly visits, this extension of observation provides additional data regarding natural history of MRSA infection and durability of the eradication protocol. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants with MRSA eradicated from respiratory tract cultures at Day 28. The secondary outcomes number of, and time to, pulmonary exacerbations, and use of antibiotics.

入选标准
- •Male or female ≥ 4 and ≤ 45 years of age at the Screening Visit.
- •Documentation of a CF diagnosis as evidenced by one or more clinical features consistent with the CF phenotype and one or more of the following criteria:
- •sweat chloride ≥ 60 mEq/liter by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis test (QPIT)
- •two well-characterized mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductive regulator (CFTR) gene

- •First OR early repeat MRSA colonization defined as:
- •First MRSA colonization: first documented isolation of MRSA from respiratory tract occurred ≤ 6 months prior to screening
- •OR Early repeat MRSA colonization:
- •MRSA was previously isolated from the respiratory tract (≤ 2 times), but this was followed by at least 1 year of documented negative cultures for MRSA as noted below:
- •- At least 2 cultures performed at least 3 months apart to document 1 year of culture negativity. Each of these cultures should be documented to have been collected at least 1 week after end of any antibiotic prescription with MRSA activity.
- •Patient again recently positive for MRSA from the respiratory tract (within 6 months prior to screening)
- •Clinically stable with no significant changes in health status within the 14 days prior to screening
- •Written informed consent (and assent when applicable) obtained from subject or subject's legal representative and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study
- •A repeat culture from the respiratory tract is obtained at screening but does not have to be positive to be able to enter the study.
排除标准
- •Received antibiotics with activity against MRSA within 28 days prior to screening (see study manual for list of antibiotics)
- •Use of an investigational agent within 28 days prior to screening
- •For subjects ≥ 6 years of age: FEV1 at screening < 30% of predicted for age based on the Wang (males < 18 years, females < 16 years) or Hankinson (males ≥ 18 years, females ≥ 16 years) standardized equations
- •MRSA from the screening culture resistant to rifampin OR resistant to both TMP/SMX and minocycline
- •History of intolerance to oral rifampin, or topical chlorhexidine or mupirocin
