Antibiotics fail to show benefit for ventilator lung infection in terminated trial
NCT ID NCT03012360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving antibiotics to ICU patients with a lung infection caused by a breathing tube (ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis) could stop it from turning into pneumonia. About 100 critically ill adults on ventilators took part. The trial was stopped early, and the results did not clearly show that antibiotics helped prevent pneumonia.
