Filter by:Study of incidence and risk factors of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort of all adult members of the population from 1996 until 2017 using national registries
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CF-301 in addition to background standard of care (SOC) antibacterial therapy for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bloodstream infections (bacteremia), including endocarditis in adults. Patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of CF-301 or placebo in addition to SOC antibacterial therapy. Patients will be prescribed standard of care antibiotics selected by the investigators based on their professional experience, practice guidelines and local antibiotic susceptibility information for the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia. CF-301 is a lysin and member of a new class of targeted protein-based antimicrobials that has demonstrated activity against S. aureus in laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies, alone and in addition to conventional antibiotics.
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ceftobiprole medocaril versus a comparator in the treatment of patients with complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB).
Background: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is frequently encountered in hospitals, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Duration of antimicrobial treatment for SAB, other than in cases of Infective endocarditis (IE), recommended by different guidelines relies on risk stratification for relapse of infection rather than definite diagnosis of septic foci that eventually determine the relapse rate. In recently published studies fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET CT was found to be a sensitive imaging test for identifying metastatic infectious foci in Gram-positive bacteremia, including SAB. Objectives: To examine the impact of using FDG PET CT in the diagnostic algorithm of non-IE SAB compared to standard treatment recommendations on treatment duration and clinical outcomes. Methods: A prospective interventional non-comparative cohort study conducted at Rambam Health Care Campus. Patients with SAB, defined as microbiologically and clinically, will undergo FDG PET CT 10-14 days following the first positive blood culture for diagnosis of septic extra-cardiac foci of infection. Patients with IE will be excluded. Short (2 weeks) versus long treatment (4-6 weeks) will be recommended for negative and positive PET CT tests, respectively. Patients will be followed-up for 1 year for relapse of infection and mortality. We will document the sensitivity and specificity of PET CT for detection of complications among patients with SAB. We will examine the percentage of patients in whom the use of PET CT changed treatment duration compared to standard recommendations. We will compare also, the relapse rate and 1 year mortality rate with data from previous studies and local data. Assuming a 15% rate of management changes compared to consensus recommendations, a sample of 150 patients will achieve the required 95% CI. Significance: Our trial will serve for improving decision making in patients with non-IE SAB, shortening treatment duration in unnecessary cases and decreasing relapse rate by giving prolonged appropriate treatment for metastatic infection not identified by standard management algorithms. PET CT is assuming an increasingly important role in infection diagnosis and management. The current study will be the first to examine the role of PET CT in directing management of patients with SAB.
This study will evaluate the maximum safe dose of the true human monoclonal antibody, 514G3, in the treatment of patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteremia. Preliminary evidence of efficacy will be evaluated as well. Patients will receive 514G3 plus antibiotics or placebo plus antibiotics in approximately a 3 to 1 ratio.
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: impact of an intervention program in improving the clinical management and review of the clinical and molecular epidemiology.
This is a study of safety and efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in Subjects with Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia or with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia persisting after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment.
Hospitalized patients at least 18 years of age, with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) will be enrolled into the study and receive one dose of Aurexis® intravenously on Study Day 1, and will be followed until Study Day 57. Aurexis is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to combat Staphylococcus aureus. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of standard antibiotic therapy, plus Aurexis or Placebo for treatment of (SAB). Additionally, certain tests and measurements will be conducted to preliminarily determine if Aurexis demonstrates any benefit to these patients.
