In this context, many advancements have been obtained for an early diagnosis of IE with a strict selection of criteria for surgery. Moreover, the use in antibiotic regimen of new drugs with peculiar PK\u002FPD characteristics, as a quick bactericidal action, also for IE was not accompanied to a revaluation of duration of antibiotic treatment. On this basis, US and European guidelines recommend a 6-week duration of antibiotic treatment for IE due to enterococcal species.\n\nAIM 1: To evaluate a 4-week duration of antibiotic therapy versus a 6-week duration according to international guidelines.\n\nAIM 2: Second aim is to evaluate the PK\u002FPD of antimicrobials in relation to the probability of target attainment (PTA) of optimal exposure against enterococci.\n\nAIM 3: Finally, we will analyze the bactericidal activities of antibiotic combinations used in patients with IE and the survival of the subgroup of patients who underwent surgery.\n\nOpen-label, multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority trial to be conducted in a 3-year period. The institutional review board at each site will approve the protocol, and all patients or their authorized representatives will provide written informed consent. Eligible patients will be 18 years of age or older with a documented IE due to enterococcal strains, according to the modified Duke criteria.\n\n63 patients in each of the two arms. The study will be conducted at Italian sites. Data on demographic characteristics, comorbidities, antibiotic and concomitant therapies will be collected. Baseline treatments will be defined according to the patients' pharmacological history. IE will be defined according to modified Duke criteria. Antibiotic treatment, indications and timing of surgery will be based on the 2015 American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines.\n\nBlood samples for determining antibiotic concentrations of ampicillin, gentamicin, vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid will be collected at predetermined times in order to allow estimation of PK\u002FPD.\n\nRandomization:\n\n1. 4-week duration of antibiotic therapy\n2. standard 6-week duration of antibiotic therapy The intention-to-treat population (ITT) will include all randomized patients. The modified intention-to-treat population (mITT) will include all randomized patients receiving at least one dose of study medication. The clinically evaluable (CE) population will include ITT patients demonstrating sufficient adherence to study protocol.\n\nPrimary endpoint: non-inferiority of a 4-week course in terms of outcome at 60 days.\n\nSecondary endpoints: microbiological eradication, pharmacological concentrations of antibiotic regimens, patients undergoing surgery, duration of therapy according with resistance profile of enterococcal species.",[55],"Enterococcal Endocarditis","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2023-05-09",{"date":59,"type":60},"2023-05-10","ACTUAL",{"date":62,"type":49},"2024-01-01",{"date":64,"type":49},"2026-09-01",{"name":5,"class":6}]
