Cluster-randomized Non-inferiority Trial Comparing Mupirocin vs Iodophor for Nasal Decolonization of ICU Patients to Assess Impact on S. Aureus Clinical Cultures and All-cause Bloodstream Infection During Routine Chlorhexidine Bathing
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Arm 1. Routine Care (Mupirocin/CHG) and Arm 2. Iodophor/CHG Decolonization for Staphylococcus Aureus. Completed, enrolled 353,323 participants across 137 sites.
Detailed Summary
The Swap Out Trial is a cluster randomized controlled trial of HCA hospitals, evaluating the non-inferiority of two decolonization regimens: Arm 1 Routine Care: ICU nasal decolonization with mupirocin twice daily for 5 days in the context of chlorhexidine for daily bathing; Arm 2 Intervention: ICU nasal decolonization with iodophor twice daily for 5 days in the context of chlorhexidine for daily bathing Note: that enrolled "subjects" represents 137 individual HCA Hospitals (representing \~235 ICUs) that have been randomized.

Interventions
The intervention / decolonization regimen will consist of 5 days of topical intranasal mupirocin ointment (bilateral nares, twice daily) on ICU admission, in the context of continued daily baths with 2% chlorhexidine cloths.
The intervention / decolonization regimen will consist of 5 days of topical intranasal iodophor (10% povidone-iodine nasal swabs) (bilateral nares, twice daily) on ICU admission, in the context of continued daily baths with 2% chlorhexidine cloths.
