NCT ID NCT05495815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to find the best length of time for patients to take antibiotics after surgery for an infected joint replacement. It planned to compare different antibiotic durations to see which works best to prevent the infection from coming back and to avoid antibiotic resistance. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
