BACKGROUND: We previously reported that biofilms and innate immunity contribute
to the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease. Therefore, we aimed to assess the
efficacy of clarithromycin, an antibiofilm agent, in patients with Kawasaki
disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted an open-label, multicenter,
randomized, phase 2 trial at 8 hospitals in Japan. Eligible patients included
children aged between 4 months and 5 years who were enrolled between days 4 and 8
of illness. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either intravenous
immunoglobulin (IVIG) or IVIG plus clarithromycin. The primary end point was the
duration of fever after the initiation of IVIG treatment. Eighty-one eligible
patients were randomized. The duration of the fever did not differ between the 2
groups (mean±SD, 34.3±32.4 and 31.1±31.1 hours in the IVIG plus clarithromycin
group and the IVIG group, respectively [P=0.66]). The relapse rate of patients in
the IVIG plus clarithromycin group was significantly lower than that in the IVIG
group (12.5% versus 30.8%, P=0.046). No serious adverse events occurred during
the study period. In a post hoc analysis, the patients in the IVIG plus
clarithromycin group required significantly shorter mean lengths of hospital
stays than those in the IVIG group (8.9 days versus 10.3 days, P=0.049).
CONCLUSIONS: Although IVIG plus clarithromycin therapy failed to shorten the
duration of fever, it reduced the relapse rate and shortened the duration of
hospitalization in patients with Kawasaki disease. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION:
