Study summary

Retrospective, regional, multicenter study (including the Annecy-Genevois Hospital Center, the Chambéry Métropole Savoie Hospital Center, and the Grenoble University Hospital Center), comparing a cohort of patients treated with Cefazolin with a cohort of patients treated with Penicillin M

Read the detailed description

The use of Cefazolin for the treatment of infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus meti - S has become commonplace in France following the stockout of injectable Penicillin M, the reference treatment, which occurred during 2016.

There is currently no clinical data to prejudge the efficacy of Cefazolin in the context of high inoculum, such as in the treatment of infective endocarditis.

On the other hand, recent data have described a better tolerance profile for Cefazolin than for Penicillin M.

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Cefazolin with that of Penicillin M in the management of methicillin-susceptible staphylococcal endocarditis, through the analysis of two retrospective cohorts.

Study population

Patients included in the study are adults older than 18 years of age, who were treated between 01/01/2014 and 12/31/2018 for definite infective endocarditis according to Duke criteria. The infection must have been documented with Staphylococcus Meti -S, on native valve or device, and treated with Cefazolin or Penicillin M for at least 10 consecutive days.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of the efficacy of Cefazolin in the treatment of Staphylococcus meti -S infective endocarditis, with that of Penicillin M, by observing the rate of death, relapse of infective endocarditis and occurence of embolic event.

    The primary outcome is management failure, a composite outcome defined by the existence of at least one of the following: * Death before the end of treatment * Relapse of infective endocarditis, with the same germ, within 3 months of the end of antibiotic therapy * Occurrence of embolic event after antibiotic therapy

    Time frame: Day 10 (End of antibiotic treatment according to national recommendations

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assessment of clinical and biological tolerance

    Occurrence of adverse events such as: acute renal failure, coagulation disorder, cytolysis

    Time frame: 10 days (Occurrence of adverse events during the antibiotic treatment period)

  2. Description of clinical predictive factors of failure

    Collection of clinical data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Time frame: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

  3. Description of microbiological predictive factors of failure

    Collection of microbiological data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Time frame: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

  4. Description of ultrasound predictive factors of failure

    Collection of ultrasound data in order to identify certain predictive factors of failure using directed acyclic graph.

    Time frame: 10 days (during the antibiotic treatment period)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 26, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
