Immediate vs. Conditional Use of Antibiotics in Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) - ICUTI

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose In this study, patients with uncomplicated urinary infection are investigated. It is investigated if treatment of only symptoms of the uncomplicated urinary infection is as effective as treatment with antibiotics with respect to the outcome of the urinary infection. If this is the case, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary infections might be reduced. Secondary aim of the study is the safety evaluation of both treatment strategies with respect to SAEs during treatment. Additionally, relapse frequency after 28 days is evaluated.

Current Primary Outcome Measuresnumber of additional treatments with antibiotics combined with number of symptoms [Time Frame: day 0-28] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]The study outcome is considered as positive, if the interventional group where only symptoms were treated has less additional treatments with antibiotics as the interventional group, where antibiotics are given from day 0 on. Additionally, the interventional group where only symptoms were treated has to be non inferior with respect to number of symptoms.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • number of defined daily doses of antibiotics [Time Frame: day 0-28] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • number of SAEs [Time Frame: day 0-28] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]
  • number of relapses [Time Frame: day 0-28] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • number of patients without symptoms [Time Frame: day 4 and day 7] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • symptom load (AUC) [Time Frame: day 0-4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • symptom load [Time Frame: day 0-7] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • symptoms load with regard to specific symptoms [Time Frame: day 0-7] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • activity impairment assessment [Time Frame: day 0-7] [Designated as safety issue: No]

Brief Summary
In this study, patients with uncomplicated urinary infection are investigated. It is
investigated if treatment of only symptoms of the uncomplicated urinary infection is as
effective as treatment with antibiotics with respect to the outcome of the urinary
infection. If this is the case, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated
urinary infections might be reduced.

Secondary aim of the study is the safety evaluation of both treatment strategies with
respect to SAEs during treatment. Additionally, relapse frequency after 28 days is
evaluated.
