Prophylactic Antibiotics for Urinary Tract Infections After Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial investigates whether a one-month course of preventative (prophylactic) antibiotics helps to reduce urinary tract infections after robot-assisted surgery to remove all of the bladder as well as nearby tissues and organs (radical cystectomy). Urinary tract infections are a common occurrence after robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Antibiotics such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or nitrofurantoin may prevent or control infections in patients with urinary tract infection and may help improve their response to radical cystectomy. Information gained from this study may help researchers to predict patient complications and identify better ways to manage these complications.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To determine if the utilization of a prophylactic antibiotic during the postoperative period will decrease the rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) post robot-assisted radical cystectomy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
- To identify pre- and post-operative factors that may be associated with the development of a 90-day UTI following radical cystectomy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I (ANTIBIOTIC): Patients receive ertapenem orally (PO), levofloxacin PO, or clindamycin PO induction therapy per standard of care. At the time of full diet, patients receive trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole PO daily or nitrofurantoin PO daily on days 1-30. Patients complete a drug diary for each day they receive the antibiotic.
GROUP II (CONTROL): Patients receive ertapenem PO, levofloxacin PO, or clindamycin PO induction therapy per standard of care.
After surgery, patients are followed up to 120 days.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 90-day urinary tract infection (UTI) status [At 90 days after surgery]
Will be treated as dichotomous data and will be summarized by group using frequencies and relative frequencies.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Identify pre-operative factors associated with the development of UTI [Up to 120 days after surgery]
stratified logistic regression models (stratified by antibiotic use)
- Development of Clostridium difficile (C Diff) [up to 120 days after surgery]
Will be evaluated in patients who received prophylactic antibiotics.
- Infections occurring during antibiotic use [Up to 120 days after surgery]
To identify which antibiotic is better suited as a prophylactic, comparisons will be made using two-sided Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
- Identify post operative factors associated with the development of UTI [Up to 120 days after surgery]
stratified logistic regression models (stratified by antibiotic use)
