Subcutaneous Suppressive Antibiotic Therapy for Bone and Joint Infections

January 10, 2018 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

For patients having a bone or joint infections, with or without device, optimal surgical therapy could be sometimes non-feasible, especially in the elderly population. Therefore, a medical therapy with oral prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy (PSAT) seems to be an option to prevent recurrence and prosthesis loosening.

Subcutaneous (SC) administration of injectable intravenous antibiotics as prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy could be a convenient way when oral treatment is not available to facilitate ambulatory care, this practice being considered as routine care.

The aim of this study is to evaluate tolerance and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of antibiotics for prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in patients having this treatment as part of their routine care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Description of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT
Time Frame: 60 months

In case of PSAT (prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy), the duration could be several years.

The data collected are: name of molecule, rough, posology, duration.

60 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tolerance of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT
Time Frame: 60 months

In case of PSAT (prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy), the duration could be several years.

This outcome will focus on severe adverse events induced by this sub-cutaneous and prolonged antibiotic therapy.

Qualification of an adverse event is made using the CTCAE terminology: this terminology attributes a grade for every adverse event. There are 5 grades and a grade refers to the severity of the adverse event. A severe adverse event has a grade >=3.

60 months
Efficacy of sub-cutaneous administration of antibiotics for PSAT
Time Frame: 60 months
A treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin.
60 months
