Trial design

Randomised, open-label, prospective comparator arm: circumcision performed at time of valve resection plus daily antibiotic prophylaxis up to two years (antibiotics used in study include augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid), alfatil (cefaclor), bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim)). reference also includes antibiotic prophylaxis alone (daily up to two years). prospective experimental arm: circumcision alone (antibiotics-sparing strategy). historical control arms: use circup data for circumcision + antibiotic prophylaxis group and antibiotic prophylaxis alone group. Phase III trial in France.

Eligibility

Recruits 163 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
Participants are newborn male infants (1 to 31 days) and thus a vulnerable population (children). For prospective groups, consent must be provided by parental guardians (>18 years) who must be able to understand the trial and must sign an informed consent allowing their child to participate. For retrospective groups (CIRCUP historical controls), parental guardians who are not opposed to their child's participation are included (non-opposition). Subject information and informed consent form documents for prospective and retrospective parental authorities are provided.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Male child aged 1 to 31 days"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Valve resection and circumcision performed before 1 month of life."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Adult guardians (>18 years)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Posterior urethral valves diagnosed by cystography within the first 28 days of life"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Parental guardians affiliated with a social security system"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Parental guardians who have signed an informed consent allowing their child to participate in the study"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For retrospective groups from CIRCUP : Parental guardians who are not opposed to their child's participation in the trial"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For prospective groups: Parental guardians giving consent must be able to understand the trial in its entirety"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Long-term antibiotics use indicated for other reasons than PUV"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Mental state rendering the person giving consent incapable of understanding the trial"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Parents being a relative of the investigator or a relative of someone from the team directly involved in the trial, including assistant doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and trial coordinators"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Known contra-indication to all antibiotics used in the study (Alfatil®, Bactrim®, Augmentin®)"}

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time to first fUTI between baseline and 2 years. The diagnosis of fUTI is defined as fever (>38.5° Celsius) with evidence of pyuria and culture-proven infection on urinalysis, obtained by urethral catheterization or suprapubic aspiration, as well as biological signs of inflammation.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time-to-event analysis: time from baseline to first febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) within 2 years. fUTI is defined as fever >38.5°C plus pyuria and culture-proven infection on urine obtained by urethral catheterization or suprapubic aspiration, together with biological signs of inflammation."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Median number of fUTIs at 2 years in children with at least 1 fUTI during follow-up","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Count and median of febrile UTI episodes over 2 years among children who experienced at least one fUTI during follow-up."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- The proportion of children with worsening renal scans (defined as an increase in heterogeneity and number of cortical defects) between baseline and 2-years between children with and without fUTIs","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Proportion comparison of children showing worsening on DMSA renal scan between baseline and 2 years; worsening defined as increased heterogeneity and increased number of cortical defects."}

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Exploratory sub-group analyses in children with and without urinary reflux at baseline","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Subgroup comparative analyses stratified by presence/absence of urinary reflux at baseline."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Adherence to antibiotic prophylaxis in the control group","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessment and description of adherence rates to daily antibiotic prophylaxis in control group over follow-up."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Absolute risk difference of first fUTI with circumcision alone versus circumcision and antibiotic prophylaxis;and antibiotic prophylaxis alone respectively.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Calculation of absolute risk differences for first fUTI between preventive strategies (circumcision alone vs circumcision + antibiotic prophylaxis; circumcision alone vs antibiotic prophylaxis alone) over 2 years."}

Consent Approach
Prospective participants (newborn males) require informed consent from parental guardians (>18 years) who must be able to understand the trial; parental guardians must sign an informed consent form. Retrospective (historical control) participants are included if parental guardians are not opposed to participation (non-opposition). Specific subject information and informed consent documents exist for prospective and retrospective parental authorities (documents listed in trial records); primary language indicated by translations is French.
