Clinical Trial Summary

The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).

Description:

Infection of the bloodstream with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, SAB) is a serious infection that results in 15-30% of affected patients dying within three months of acquiring the infection. Treatment of this infection requires patients to be hospitalised, treated with prolonged antibiotics through an intravenous line, and carefully examined for the occurrence of complications associated with this condition. At present, there are many treatment options in current use, with no clear agreement as to which of these is best. The SNAP trial aims to identify which treatment options for SAB results in the fewest patients dying within the first 90 days after an infection.

In contrast to a conventional clinical trial, the SNAP trial will examine multiple different treatment options at once. Patients will be randomly assigned to different concurrent treatment options currently considered acceptable in routine medical care, but as the trial progresses, more patients will be assigned to treatments that appear to have better outcomes than those with worse outcomes. The trial will adapt to accumulating trial evidence, on a regular basis, by removing treatment options found to be inferior, incorporating new treatment options, and ensuring that all patients in the trial receive the best treatments once they have been identified. Over time, we hope to determine the best combination of treatment options for patients with SAB.

The SNAP Trial infrastructure will also support a number of sub-studies. A list of all active sub-studies can be found on the SNAP website: https://www.snaptrial.com.au/substudies.

From randomisation (day 1) until day 90
Secondary	All-cause mortality at 14, 28 and 42 days after platform entry	Determined through a search of hospital databases for a record of a participant's death, or follow-up contact with the participant's community healthcare provider, or follow-up contact with the patient or their nominated carer, or linkage with death registries.	From randomisation (day 1) until day 14, 28, and 42
Secondary	Duration of survival censored at 90 days after platform entry	Determined through a search of hospital databases for a record of a participant's death, or follow-up contact with the participant's community healthcare provider, or follow-up contact with the patient or their nominated carer, or linkage with death registries.	From randomisation (day 1) until day 90
Secondary	Length of stay of acute index inpatient hospitalisation for those surviving until discharge from acute inpatient facilities (excluding HITH/COPAT/OPAT/rehab).	Acute index hospitalisation is defined as continuous hospital admission to one or more acute inpatient facilities for the index episode. This does not include HITH/OPAT/COPAT and stepdown inpatient rehabilitation/post-acute care. It does include admission to acute care hospitals immediately preceding and following those at the enrolling site.	From randomisation (day 1) until discharge from acute inpatient facilities, truncated at 90 days.
Secondary	Length of stay of total index hospitalisation for those surviving until hospital discharge (including HITH/COPAT/OPAT/rehab)	Total index hospitalisation is defined as continuous hospital admission to one or more inpatient facilities for the index episode, including HITH/OPAT/COPAT and stepdown inpatient rehabilitation/post-acute care (if continuous with the initial inpatient admission).; It includes admission to acute care hospitals immediately preceding and following those at the enrolling site.	From randomisation (day 1) to discharge from total index hospitalisation, truncated at 90 days
Secondary	Time to being discharged alive from the total index hospitalisation (including HITH/COPAT/OPAT/rehab) truncated at 90 days after platform entry	and all deaths within 90 days will be considered '90 days'	From randomisation (day 1) to discharge from total index hospitalisation, truncated at 90 days
Secondary	Microbiological treatment failure defined as positive sterile site culture for S. aureus [of the same silo as the index isolate between 14 and 90 days after platform entry).
