The primary question of this study is to understand if trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is as effective as vancomycin for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) osteomyelitis.
Treatment of osteomyelitis is hampered by a paucity of evidence from prospective clinical trials with randomized treatment arms. Furthermore, previous randomized or observational trials have enrolled small numbers of subjects and thus often had non-definitive findings. One of the most common causes of osteomyelitis is Staphylococcus aureus. Over the past 10 years, rates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) have risen dramatically. Vancomycin is currently the treatment of choice for treating MRSA. While vancomycin is effective, it is only available in intravenous formulation and has renal and bone marrow toxicities. There is a critical need for effective, oral, cheap drugs for the treatment of MRSA. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is a drug with several advantageous properties for the treatment of MRSA osteomyelitis. To address this question regarding optimal treatment of MRSA osteomyelitis, we designed a prospective, randomized trial comparing TMP-SMX with vancomycin for the treatment of MRSA osteomyelitis.
