Efficacy of Non Operative Treatment With Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Versus Surgical Treatment in Acute Uncomplicated Appendicitis in Children (NACAC)

Efficacy of Non Operative Treatment With Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Versus Surgical Treatment in Acute Uncomplicated Appendicitis in Children: a Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Non-inferiority Trial With Cost Utility Analysis

The majority of children with uncomplicated acute appendicitis may be considered for either a non-operative or an operative management. The antibiotic-first strategy appears effective as an initial treatment in 97% of children with uncomplicated AA (recurrence rate 14%), with Non Operative Treatment (NOT) also leading to less morbidity, fewer disability days, and lower costs than surgery. In this trial, the investigators will compare children randomised in a surgery group with children randomised in a NOT group (antibiotic strategy group). Children have 2 on-site visits (including surgery) in the first 12 days with recording of clinical datas and questionnaires, a phone visit at month 1, month 6, month 12 to collect concomitant treatment, Adverse Event (AE) and complications and parental questionnaires at the end of the study. A Cost-Utility analysis will be performed from the healthcare payer's perspective. The time horizon of the medico economic analysis was one year.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The design of the NACAC study is an open-label, randomized, multicenter controlled non-inferiority trial with 2 parallel groups: one group of patients will have appendectomy (ST), and the other group will receive antibiotic treatment (NOT).

Children in the non-operative treatment group will be hospitalised for clinical monitoring with initiation of antibiotic therapy at day 1 with Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid IntraVeinous (IV) in 2 doses daily for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 48 hours with a relay of Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid Per Os (PO) in 2 doses daily, for a total of 7 days (IV and PO).

Children can be discharged from hospital after day 1 if the clinical conditions are safe.

In case of hypersensitivity to antibiotic administered the patient will be withdrawn from the study.

Children randomised to the Surgical Treatment group will be hospitalised for a surgical usual management within 24 hours, according to the surgical unit organisation.

For all patients a physical examination (same as inclusion) will be made by an investigator at Day 1 and discharge. Questionnaires will be assessed at D1 and discharge. At discharge, parental absenteism will be evaluated. For ST group, possible post-operative complication will also be evaluated. A visit on the investigator site from Day 10 to Day 15 : all the patients will have a complete physical examination (same as inclusion), child activity evolution and parental absenteeism will be evaluated.

An abdominal ultrasound or CT scan will be performed in patients randomized in the non-operative treatment group. AE and concomitant treatment will be assessed at this study visit by questioning, during the physical examination of the patient.

Compliance to study treatment will be reviewed at day 12 in the NOT group. For ST group, possible post-operative complication will also be evaluated.

At Month 1 (D30), Month 6 (M6) and Month 12 (M12) investigator will realize phone visits in order to :

Get safety aspects related to antibiotic treatment and treatment-related failures at month 1, six months and one year, notably, secondary surgery and in ST group, a complication requiring anew general anaesthesia or possible post-operative complication, will be recorded.

Child activity evolution and parental absenteeism will also be recorded. AE and concomitant treatment will be recorded. A Cost-Utility analysis will be performed from the healthcare payer's perspective.This medico anlysis will need Direct medical costs collection based on security social system.
