Brief Summary

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection with a significant burden for patients and hospitals (in France, median length of hospital stay = 43 days), partly due to the long duration of intravenous (IV) antibacterial treatment recommended by international guidelines, between 4 and 6 weeks in most situations. A recent survey of practices regarding the management of IE in France showed that a switch from IV to oral antibiotics is feasible, when patients with left-sided Staphylococcus IE are stable after an initial course of IV antibiotic treatment, with or without valvular surgery. These practices have not been associated with unfavourable outcome, while significantly reducing the duration and cost of hospitalization, the risk of nosocomial infection, and patients' discomfort. There has been no randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the field of IE over the last 20 years; current guidelines are mostly based on expert advice, in vitro studies, animal experiments, or clinical studies performed before the 90's. The RODEO 1 project is an unprecedented opportunity to bring back evidence-based medicine in the field of IE. Most experts acknowledge that the pharmacological PK/PD characteristics of antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones and rifampicin allow a high level of efficacy in the treatment of IE when orally administrated after an IV period of induction. It's needed to conduct RCTs that clearly demonstrate the clinical non-inferiority of this strategy for multisusceptible staphylococci with a benefit regarding costs. The RODEO 1 project corresponds to one pragmatic trial assessing the impact of a switch strategy, making it a comparative effectiveness trial that should be able to feed the next revision of IE international guidelines and to change practices in IE management.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment failure

    Failure is a composite outcome defined by death from all causes and/or symptomatic embolic events and/or unplanned valvular surgery and/or a microbiological relapse (with the primary pathogen).

    up to 3 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • death from all-cause

    up to 6 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

  • number of symptomatic embolic events

    up to 6 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

  • unplanned valvular surgery

    up to 6 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

  • relapse of positive blood cultures

    up to 6 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

  • microbiological relapse with a different pathogen from the primary pathogen

    up to 6 months after the end of antibiotic treatment

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

  • planned duration of antibiotics will extend for at least 14 days at the time of randomisation i.e. a potential switch to oral treatment between Day 10 and Day 28 thus ensuring to have at least 14 days of oral therapy remaining in the experimental group
  • apyrexia (temperature \< 38°C) at each time point during the last 48 hours (at least two measures/day) at the time of randomisation
  • blood cultures have been sterile for at least 5 days at the time of randomisation

  • subject covered by or having the rights to French social security

You may not qualify if:

  • body mass index \<15 kg/m² or \> 40 kg/m²
  • glomerular filtration rate \< 50 ml/min/1,73m²
  • patient unable or unwilling to take oral treatment (digestive intolerance, significant malabsorption) at the time of randomisation
  • expected difficulties regarding compliance with oral antibiotic treatment or follow-up (e.g. severe cognitive impairment, severe psychiatric disease...)
  • patient without entourage to support and watch him at discharge
  • valvular surgery planned within the next 6 months
  • patients with cardiac devices (pace-maker, implantable cardiac defibrillator) and suspected device-related IE (vegetation on the leads) if removal of the device was not performed
  • breast feeding or pregnant women, or women on childbearing age without effective contraception
  • expected duration of follow-up \< 7 months at the time of randomisation (e.g. expected life expectancy \< 7 months, patient living abroad...)
  • past medical history of IE in the last 3 months
  • other infection requiring parenteral antibiotic therapy
  • taking of an estrogen-progesterone treatment interacting with rifampicin
  • patient with contra-indication to oral antibiotics administered in the experimental arm (i.e. fluoroquinolones or rifampicin ) - including anticipated non-manageable drug interactions with rifampicin, and allergy.
