Few randomized controlled studies have compared antibiotic regimens against diabetic foot infections (DFIs) in Chinese patients. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of ertapenem versus piperacillin/tazobactam for the treatment of DFIs in Chinese patients.
Patients with moderate to severe DFIs requiring parenteral antibiotics were randomized in a 1 : 1 ratio to receive ertapenem (1.0 g once daily) or piperacillin/tazobactam (4.5 g every 8 h) by 30 min intravenous (iv) infusions for ≥5 days. The primary outcome was favourable clinical response at discontinuation of iv therapy (DCIV). An evaluable-patient population was identified for primary analysis of non-inferiority at -15%. Safety was assessed. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01370616.
Of 565 patients randomized, 443 patients (ertapenem = 219 and piperacillin/tazobactam = 224) were clinically evaluable for primary analysis. In the clinically evaluable population, the proportions of patients with favourable clinical response at DCIV were 93.6% (205/219) and 97.3% (218/224) in the ertapenem and piperacillin/tazobactam groups, respectively (difference: -3.8%, 95% CI: -8.3%, 0.0%). Ertapenem had a significantly lower favourable clinical response rate (91.5% versus 97.2%, 95% CI for difference: -12.1%, -0.3%) at DCIV in severe DFI patients. In the modified ITT population, 88.8% (237/267) and 90.6% (241/266) of patients in the ertapenem and piperacillin/tazobactam groups, respectively, had favourable clinical responses at DCIV (difference: -1.9%, 95% CI: -7.3%, 3.3%). Microbiological eradications of causative pathogens and adverse events were similar between treatment groups.
Treatment with ertapenem was non-inferior to piperacillin/tazobactam in Chinese patients with DFIs. Ertapenem treatment resulted in a markedly lower rate of clinical resolution in severe DFIs.
在接受抗生素治疗的糖尿病足感染(DFI)中国患者中,比较抗生素方案的随机对照研究较少。我们评估了厄他培南与哌拉西林/他唑巴坦治疗中国 DFI 患者的疗效和安全性。
需要接受静脉抗生素治疗的中重度 DFI 患者按 1:1 比例随机接受厄他培南(1.0 g 每日 1 次)或哌拉西林/他唑巴坦(4.5 g 每 8 小时)30 分钟静脉输注,至少 5 天。主要结局是静脉治疗停药时(DCIV)的临床疗效。对非劣效性评估人群在-15%处进行主要分析。评估安全性。ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT01370616。
在 565 例随机患者中,443 例(厄他培南=219 例,哌拉西林/他唑巴坦=224 例)在临床可评估人群中进行了主要分析。在临床可评估人群中,厄他培南组和哌拉西林/他唑巴坦组 DCIV 时临床疗效良好的患者比例分别为 93.6%(205/219)和 97.3%(218/224)(差异:-3.8%,95%CI:-8.3%,0.0%)。在重度 DFI 患者中,厄他培南组的临床疗效良好率显著低于哌拉西林/他唑巴坦组(91.5%对 97.2%,95%CI 差值:-12.1%,-0.3%)。在改良意向治疗人群中,厄他培南组和哌拉西林/他唑巴坦组分别有 88.8%(237/267)和 90.6%(241/266)的患者 DCIV 时临床疗效良好(差异:-1.9%,95%CI:-7.3%,3.3%)。两组患者的病原体清除率和不良事件相似。
在接受抗生素治疗的中国 DFI 患者中,厄他培南与哌拉西林/他唑巴坦治疗无差异。在重度 DFI 中,厄他培南治疗导致临床缓解率明显降低。
