Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the main causes of morbidity and the main cause of re-hospitalization in subjects with neurogenic bladder. Long-term antibiotic therapy increases the risk of multi-resistant bacterial infections, without reducing the rate of symptomatic UTIs. Our non-comparative preliminary study has shown that Weekly Oral Cyclic Antibiotic Programme (single, weekly dose of antibiotic X on even weeks, and antibiotic Y on odd weeks) seem to drastically reduce both the number of symptomatic UTIs and the number of hospitalizations in patients with neurogenic bladder, without affecting bacterial ecology.

The objective of this study is to validate this preliminary work with a large-scale randomized, parallel-group, multicenter study.

Weekly Oral Cyclic Antibiotic programme

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Weekly Oral Cyclic Antibiotic programme

Intervention Type DRUG

The Weekly Oral Cyclic Antibiotic Programme consisted of the alternate administration of an antibiotic once per week. The antibiotics that were chosen (efficient for urinary tract infection, well tolerated, low selection pressure) included : Amoxicillin 6000 mg, Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 3000 mg, Cefixime 400 mg, Fosfomycin trometamol 6000 mg, Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 2400 mg. During week A,the patient received a single antibiotic (A), and the following week B the patient was given another antibiotic (B). For each patient, antibiotics were specifically chosen according to the results of urine cultures.
