Metabolic Profiling Among Patients Suspected of Infective Endocarditis - PPSIE Comparing Metabolomes of Bloodstream Infections Versus Infective Endocarditis (PPSIE)

3 november 2026 uppdaterad av: University Hospital, Angers

Most cases of Infective endocarditis (IE) are caused by Gram-positive bacteria, primarily Staphylococcus aureus, oral or intestinal streptococci, and enterococci (especially Enterococcus faecalis). Blood cultures for these bacteria may indicate simple bacteremia (without cardiac involvement) or endocarditis. The proportion of patients with IE among those presenting with positive blood cultures varies depending on the pathogen (approximately 10% for S. aureus, 5 to 50% for oral streptococci, depending on the species, and 15% for E. faecalis).

The PPSIE study aims to identify a specific biological signature of infective endocarditis that would allow identification of valvular involvement in patients with positive blood cultures.

Patients will be selected based on a blood culture positive for one of the following organisms: S. aureus, S. mutans, S. gordonii, S. sanguinis, S. parasanguinis, S. gallolyticus, S. mitis/oralis, E. faecalis, as well as based on the likelihood of endocarditis determined by a clinical score specific to the causative pathogen (VIRSTA, HANDOC, or DENOVA) A blood sample will be collected 1 day, 5 days, and 3 months after enrollment. Patients will be classified into the groups "bacteremia without cardiac involvement (BasAC)," "definite infectious endocarditis (confirmed IE)," or "possible infectious endocarditis" according to the Duke classification modified by the ISCVID in 2023; uncertain cases will be assessed by an adjudication committee. Untergeted metabolomic analysis will be performed on these blood samples in order to find a metabolic signature able to discriminate patients with endocarditis from those without cardiac involvement. The prediction model will be built using a total of 80 patients, comprising 40 "confirmed IE" patients and 40 "IE excluded" (BasAC) patients.

The model will then be validated using a randomly selected sample from the "possible IE" group, according to the Duke classification modified by the ISCVID in 2023.

Tidsram
Metabolomic signature
Tidsram: Day 1 and Day 5 after enrollement

The existence of a metabolic signature will be confirmed by the presence of a latent variable predictive of cardiac involvement in the study population. This variable will be selected after comparing the metabolic profiles between the 'confirmed EI' group and the Bacteremia Without Cardiac Involvement (BaSAC) group for each time point considered (Day 1 and Day 5). To avoid overfitting, the predictive ability of the multivariate model (orthogonal partial least squares in the context of discriminant analysis, or OPLS-DA) will be evaluated using "standard" criteria as implemented in the SIMCA software, with a low prediction error rate (Q2Ycum ≥ 0.5) and performance significantly superior to that of the random model (P-value (CV-ANOVA) ≤ 0.05, Q2Ycum from the permutation test < 0).

Tidsram
Identify potential biomarkers (BM) that can distinguish patients with BaSAC from those with EI.
Tidsram: Day 1 and Day 5 after enrollement

Metabolites, as well as the ratio(s) or sum(s) of metabolites, with a median value that is significantly different between the two groups (BaSAC and EI) will be considered potential BMs for EI, after adjusting for potential sources of confounding (center, germ, etc.) and after correcting for Type I error inflation. The potential BM(s) may or may not be part of the metabolomic signature (see Primary Objective), as applicable.

Day 1 and Day 5 after enrollement
Describe changes in the metabolic signature in patients with endocarditis 5 days and 3 months after enrollment and correlate these changes with the diagnosis of IE.
Tidsram: Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3 after enrollment

Proportion of patients in the endocarditis group in whom normalization of the metabolic signature was observed during follow-up (Day 5). Comparison of metabolite concentrations in the same patient across samples collected on Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3 to identify statistically significant changes in the levels of metabolites of interest. Normalization defined as a correlation with the normalization of clinical, laboratory, and microbiological parameters.

Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3 after enrollment
Diagnostic performance of the identified biomarker(s) in a subset of patients with "possible" endocarditis according to the Duke classification revised by the ISCVID in 2023.
Tidsram: Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3 after enrollment

Calculation of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the identified biomarker(s) for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis at each time point considered (Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3). A panel of experts will serve as the gold standard for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis.

Day 1, Day 5, and Month 3 after enrollment
Conduct a sensitivity analysis on the correct classification of patients as "definite IE" according to the Duke classification revised by the ISCVID in 2023 by comparing it with the Duke and Li classification.
Tidsram: Month 3 after enrollment

calculation of the proportion of discordant cases between "definite IE" cases according to the Duke classification revised by the ISCVID in 2023 and the Duke and Li classification.
