Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Study to comparing conventrional antibiotic strategies versus regimens guided by epidemiological surveillance in infected patients with cirrhosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Conventional antibiotic strategies
  • Other: Regimens guided by epidemiological surveillance
Phase 4

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
198 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Patients will recieve: Antibiotic regimens guided by colonization/epidemiological surveillance. Conventional antibiotic regimens.Patients will recieve:Antibiotic regimens guided by colonization/epidemiological surveillance. Conventional antibiotic regimens.
Masking:
None (Open Label)
Masking Description:
The study treatment is not blinded, however the rectal and nasal swabs of the control group will be blinded to the investigator and the participant. In all participants, microbiology department will immediately process the samples (swabs) in order to identify a potential colonization by MDR bacteria. Results will be available in the SAP system in patients randomized to the surveillance group but will remained blinded for the clinical investigators in the control group. Blinding will be broken when the patient completes the follow-up period (28 days).
Primary Purpose:
Treatment

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Probability/rate of participants of developing antibiotic resistance in both treatment arms at 28 days. [28 days]

    Measured by the appearance of new colonizations and/or infections by MDROs.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Probability of antibiotic resistance development during hospitalization in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28.]

    Measured by the appearance of new colonizations and/or infections by MDROs.

  2. Rate of antibiotic resistance development during hospitalization in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28.]

    Measured by the appearance of new colonizations and/or infections by MDROs.

  3. Rate of MDRO colonization during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.]

    Measured by the appearance of new colonications by MDROs.

  4. Probability of MDRO colonization during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.]

    Measured by the appearance of new colonications by MDROs.

  5. Rate of MDRO infection during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.]

    Measured by the appearance of new infections by MDROs.

  6. Probability of MDRO infection during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms. [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.]

    Measured by the appearance of new infections by MDROs.

  7. Infection resolution rate with initial and final strategies in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the number of infections resolution with initial strategies or final strategies.

  8. Evolution of score ACLF (Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure) in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of ACLF score. Minimum ACLF score: 6 points. Maximum ACLF score: 18 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  9. Evolution of score MELD (Model For End-Stage Liver Disease) in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of MELD score. Minimum MELD score: 6 points. Maximum MELD score: 40 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  10. Evolution of score Child-Pugh in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of Child -Pugh score. Minimum Child-Pugh score: 5 points. Maximum Child-Pugh score: 15 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  11. Evolution of score CLIF-OF (Liver Failure Consortium - Organ Failure) in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of CLIF-OF score. Minimum CLIF-OF score: 6 points. Maximum CLIF-OF score: 18 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  12. Evolution of score CLIF-C AD (Chronic Liver Failure Consortium - non-ACLF patients with Acute Decompensation) in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of CLIF-C AD score. Minimum CLIF-C AD score: 6 points. Maximum CLIF-C AD score: 18 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  13. Evolution of score CLIF-C ACLF (Chronic Liver Failure Consortium - Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure) in both treatment arms. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the result of CLIF-C ACLF score. Minimum CLIF-C ACLF score: 6 points. Maximum CLIF-C ACLF score: 18 points. Higher scores means a worse result.

  14. Days of admission to the ICU if needed. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the days of admission to the ICU.

  15. Days of life support (dialysis, vasopressors, and mechanical ventilation) if needed. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the days of life support.

  16. Days of hospital stay [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the days of hospital stay.

  17. Number of rehospitalizations. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the number of rehospitalizations.

  18. Antibiotics consumption [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by dose of antibiotics.

  20. Antibiotics consumption [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by type of antibiotics.

  21. Health costs [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the cost of antibiotic, cost of hospital/ICU stay and of organ support(s).

  22. Proportion of participants with antibiotic-related AE, SAEs, SUSARs and other SAEs. [Through study completion, an average of 28 days]

    Measured by the number of participants with antibiotic-related AE, SAEs, SUSARs and other SAEs.

  23. Hospital survival [During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28.]

    Number of survival participants

  24. 28-day survival [28 days]

    Number of survival participants
