International Study to Observe Safety and Outcomes of Intravenous Fosfomycin in Adults with Severe Bacterial Infections

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered fosfomycin in treating severely infected patients across Europe. This prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study focuses on infections such as osteomyelitis, complicated urinary tract infections, nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections, bacterial meningitis or central nervous system infections, bacteraemia or sepsis, skin and soft tissue infections, endocarditis, and other infections covered by national guidelines. Patients receive fosfomycin intravenously according to the respective national Summary of Product Characteristics SmPC. The study is observational and does not involve randomization or placebo. It includes monitoring during treatment and follow-up periods, with evaluations up to six months for treatment outcomes and up to one year for osteomyelitis follow-up. The study documents clinical and microbiological cure rates, clinical improvements, and sodium and potassium serum levels during hospital stays. Participants are assessed for clinical success at multiple points, including initial response within 7 days, end of treatment up to 6 months, test of cure, and follow-up up to one year for osteomyelitis. Safety monitoring includes daily recording of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions, and deaths during treatment and follow-up. The study tracks dropouts due to treatment failure or adverse events. Overall, participation duration varies depending on treatment and follow-up schedules.
