About
Randomized clinical trial to determine the optimal duration of antibiotic treatment for E. Faecalis or E. faecium bacteraemia, following an innovative DOOR / RADAR (Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) and Response Adjusted for Duration of Antibiotic Risk (RADAR)) analysis methodology.
Phase IV clinical trial, open-labelled, randomized, pragmatic, multicenter study to demonstrate non-inferiority of a 7-day antibiotic regimen vs. 14 days in the treatment of bacteremia due to E. faecalis or E. faecium.
Full description
Phase IV clinical trial, open-labelled, randomized, pragmatic, multicenter study to demonstrate non-inferiority of a 7-day antibiotic regimen vs. 14 days in the treatment of bacteremia due to E. faecalis or E. faecium.
Adequate antibiotic regimen is included in the protocol; initially this regimen included ciprofloxacine but this has been modified si that in the last version 3 dated feb 6th ciprofloxacine is not allowed as a possible treatment for these patients.
Antibiotic regimen included as possible treatments in the study are the follows:
Intra-abdominal or soft tissue infections meeting study criteria, for which a polymicrobial infection is suspected:
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (isolates sensitive to ampicillin) 1 g/8h iv - Piperacillin/tazobactam (isolates sensitive to ampicillin) 4 g/8h (i.v.) - Combination of vancomycin, linezolid or daptomycin with a drug active against Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria to ensure complete coverage in the case of bacteremia with a presumably polymicrobial focus.
Oral Treatment: In order to facilitate discharge of patients in both arms and reduce the risk of complications, as well as in keeping with the increasing use of this practice, the option to switch to oral therapy is allowed at the discretion of the responsible clinician, in both arms in patients with hemodynamic stability who tolerate oral treatment, at the discretion of the physician.
responsable.
The previous version allowed the use of cipro at the discretion of the clinicians as a sequential treatment option based on the fact that it is a clinical trial for low-risk bacteraemias in order to facilitate early sequential treatment (and thus avoid unnecessarily prolonging the hospital admissions.We decided to withdraw it on the basis that currently the EUCAST breakpoints only apply to urinary tract infections.The direct consequence is that the number of sequential treatment options is reduced.

Inclusion criteria
The previous version allowed this inclusion criterion "Early adequate control of the source of bacteremia within 72 hours in the cases in which it is feasible and necessary (urinary or biliary tract release; abscess drainage; catheter-removal, etc)", which is now removed because it is already an exclusion criterion.
