Trial Outcomes & Findings for Stop Community MRSA Colonization Among Patients (NCT NCT02029872)

NCT ID: NCT02029872

Last Updated: 2018-03-20

Results Overview

Participants were decolonized with a standard Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) decolonization protocol and monitored for 6 months. This is the number of participants who screened positive for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 6 months after being decolonized (i.e., recurrent infection)

Participant Flow

Recruitment took place from January 2014-March 2015 in an outpatient HIV clinic in Baltimore, Maryland

Enrolled participants were screened for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Only those with a positive MRSA swab in any body site (nares, throat, perineum, rectum, vagina) were randomized to an arm of the study to receive the decolonization protocol.

Measure
Individual Alone
Standard decolonization regimen for the individual alone: 7 day course of nasal mupirocin calcium 2% ointment applied inside the nose twice daily, plus a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (soap) used in the shower/bath every day for 7 days. For individuals colonized within the throat we will add chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse 0.12% used in a gargle and spit fashion twice daily for 7 days. Chlorhexidine gluconate soap: 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (soap) Chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse: chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse 0.12% Mupirocin calcium 2 % ointment: nasal mupirocin calcium 2% ointment
Individual Plus Household
Standard decolonization regimen for individual plus household: 7 day course of nasal mupirocin calcium 2% ointment applied inside the nose twice daily 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (soap) used in the shower/bath every day for 7 days. For individuals colonized within the throat we will add chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse 0.12% used in a gargle and spit fashion twice daily for 7 days.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Only participants who received the decolonization protocol and completed the 6 month follow-up visit (7 for "individual alone' and 6 for 'Individual plus household') were included in the analysis. The rest were lost to follow up
