NCT06172010

Brief Summary

In this Dutch multicenter clinical trial, patients with a staphylococcal prosthetic joint infection, will, in the oral antibiotic treatment phase, be randomized between clindamycin monotherapy and rifampicin / levofloxacin combination therapy. The clinical endpoint will be treatment success one year after finishing antimicrobial treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • treatment success

    Proportion of patients with treatment success 15 months after DAIR (=1 year after finishing antibiotic) in both randomised groups treatment). Treatment success will be defined as absence of all of the following: (I) Infection related re-surgery of the initially affected prosthetic joint (II) New antibiotic treatment for suspected or proven infection of the index joint. (III) Ongoing use of antibiotics for the index joint at the end of follow-up. (IV) Death

    15 months after DAIR

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Quality of life of patients at baseline and after 6 and 12 weeks

    at the time of randomization, at week 6 after surgical debridement and after 3 months.

  • Adverse events

    through study completion, an average of 15 months

  • Development of new rifampicin resistance

    through study completion, an average of 15 months

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \>18 years of age
  • Confirmed staphylococcal prosthetic hip or knee joint infection according to the current EBJIS 2021 definition of PJI
  • The causative agents are (or include) S. aureus or and/or Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS)
  • Treatment is according to the DAIR-procedure

You may not qualify if:

  • (i) a contra-indication for rifampicin (e.g. a resistant strain or proven allergic reaction or difficult drug-drug-interactions) (ii) complicated S. aureus bacteremia or concurrent endocarditis requiring long-term iv antibiotic treatment \> 2 weeks (iii) An infection for which there are no suitable antibiotic choices to permit Randomization between the two arms of the trial (for instance, where organisms are only sensitive to intravenous antibiotics) (iv) treatment failure before the start of oral therapy, (v) an unsatisfactory response to initial treatment leading to continuation of intravenous therapy beyond day 21, (vi) patients with an expected life expectancy \<12 months, (vii) patients with a tumor prosthesis (viii) patients receiving chemotherapy for active malignancy in the next 12 months (ix) patients who are scheduled in advance for chronic suppressive antibiotic therapy for \>12 months, (x) The patient is unlikely to comply with trial requirements following Randomization in the opinion of the investigator (xi) Pregnancy (xii) Patients who are not able to read or communicate in Dutch or English will be excluded from participating in this study
