About this trial

The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Staphylococcus aureus complex grown from ≥1 blood culture

Admitted to a participating hospital at the time of eligibility assessment (OR if patient has died, they were admitted to this site anytime from the time of blood culture collection until the time of eligibility assessment)

Disqualifiers

Time of anticipated platform entry is greater than 72 hours post collection of the index blood culture (Where the time of culture collection is not recorded, the time of laboratory registration of the sample will be used as an alternative)

Polymicrobial bacteraemia, defined as more than one organism (at species level) in the index blood cultures OR in any subsequent blood culture reported between the collection of the index blood culture and platform eligibility assessment, excluding those organisms judged to be contaminants by either the microbiology laboratory or treating clinician.

Known previous participation in the randomised SNAP platform

Known positive blood culture for S. aureus (of the same silo: PSSA, MSSA or MRSA) between 72 hours and 180 days prior to the time of eligibility assessment

  • Cefazolin

    Drug

    Cefazolin

  • Penicillin

    Drug

    benzylpenicillin

  • Clindamycin

    Drug

    Clindamycin

  • Vancomycin

    Drug

    Vancomycin or Daptomycin

  • Effectiveness of early switch to oral antibiotics

    Other intervention

    This involves testing a strategy rather than individual antibiotic agents

  • Whole body FDG PET/CT Imaging

    Radiation

    Whole body FDG PET/CT imaging will be performed using a standardised protocol describing patient preparation and minimum specifications for radiopharmaceutical production, quality control, and PET/CT acquisition.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

All-cause mortality at 90 days after platform entry

The primary endpoint for all cells and domains will be all-cause mortality at 90 days after platform entry. The primary endpoint will be determined through a search of hospital databases for a record of a participant's death, or follow-up contact with the participant's community healthcare provider, or follow-up contact with the patient or their nominated carer, or linkage with death registries.

Time frame
From randomisation (day 1) until day 90

Secondary outcomes

1

Core1: All-cause mortality at 14, 28 and 42 days after platform entry

Determined through a search of hospital databases for a record of a participant's death, or follow-up contact with the participant's community healthcare provider, or follow-up contact with the patient or their nominated carer, or linkage with death registries.

Time frame
From randomisation (day 1) until day 14, 28, and 42
2

Core2: Duration of survival censored at 90 days after platform entry

Determined through a search of hospital databases for a record of a participant's death, or follow-up contact with the participant's community healthcare provider, or follow-up contact with the patient or their nominated carer, or linkage with death registries.

Time frame
From randomisation (day 1) until day 90
3

Core3: Length of stay of acute index inpatient hospitalisation for those surviving until discharge from acute inpatient facilities (excluding HITH/COPAT/OPAT/rehab).

Acute index hospitalisation is defined as continuous hospital admission to one or more acute inpatient facilities for the index episode. This does not include HITH/OPAT/COPAT and stepdown inpatient rehabilitation/post-acute care. It does include admission to acute care hospitals immediately preceding and following those at the enrolling site.

Time frame
From randomisation (day 1) until discharge from acute inpatient facilities, truncated at 90 days.
4

Core4: Length of stay of total index hospitalisation for those surviving until hospital discharge (including HITH/COPAT/OPAT/rehab)

Total index hospitalisation is defined as continuous hospital admission to one or more inpatient facilities for the index episode, including HITH/OPAT/COPAT and stepdown inpatient rehabilitation/post-acute care (if continuous with the initial inpatient admission). It includes admission to acute care hospitals immediately preceding and following those at the enrolling site.

Time frame
From randomisation (day 1) to discharge from total index hospitalisation, truncated at 90 days
