Gonorrhea

This phase 3 trial compares a single intravenous dose of temocillin to the standard ceftriaxone shot for treating gonorrhea. The goal is to see if temocillin works just as well while having less impact on the gut's healthy bacteria, which can help prevent the rise of drug-resista…

This study compares two common antibiotic combinations—vancomycin with piperacillin/tazobactam versus vancomycin with meropenem—to see which is less harmful to the kidneys. About 852 hospitalized adults with serious infections will be randomly assigned to one of the two combos. T…

This study tests a new care model for veterans with opioid use disorder that combines infectious disease screening and treatment with their usual medication-assisted therapy in a single appointment. The goal is to make it easier for veterans to get tested and treated for infectio…

This study will test whether a fast, point-of-care test for chlamydia and gonorrhea can reduce the time it takes for people to start antibiotics. Four hundred asymptomatic adults visiting a sexual health clinic will be randomly assigned to receive either the rapid test or a stand…

This study will recruit 100 sexual partners of people diagnosed with gonorrhea. Researchers will take an extra throat swab to analyze all the bacteria and their genes using a technique called metagenomics. The goal is to find hidden infections, antibiotic resistance, and see how …

This observational study will look at 10,000 adults in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world during a single 24-hour period. Researchers want to find out how common infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are, how they are treated, and how patients recover. No new tre…

This research project aims to understand why older adults get more infections and why those infections can be more serious. By following 23,000 people aged 60 and older, scientists will collect health data and samples like blood and stool to study how the immune system changes wi…

This study tests whether training healthcare providers to reduce stigma can increase the use of HIV and STI prevention services, like testing and preventive medications. It will involve 8 clinics in the Mississippi Delta and track changes in how often patients receive these servi…

This early-stage study will give a single dose of the experimental antibiotic gepotidacin to 20 hospitalized children aged 2 to 12 who are already receiving standard antibiotics for a bacterial infection or as a preventive measure. Researchers will measure how the drug moves thro…

This study looks at how satisfied young people and those with low incomes are with free HIV and STI testing and counselling in Lucerne and Zurich. Around 1,800 participants will fill out a questionnaire after their visit. The goal is to see if these free services meet people's ne…

This study will collect blood samples from 30,000 adults in the UK with various health conditions, including blood clots, infections, heart disease, diabetes, and more. The samples will be used to develop and fine-tune new diagnostic tests for the cobas® lumira device, which allo…

This study will follow 300 adults with severe infections in the ICU to see how levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)—natural molecules that help stop inflammation—change over time. Researchers will use blood samples already collected during routine care, so no extr…

This study tests whether point-of-care STI tests, which give results in about 10 minutes, can speed up treatment for pregnant women compared to standard lab tests. About 756 pregnant women at Grady Memorial Hospital will either get the rapid tests or standard testing. The goal is…
