NCT ID NCT07287332
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways of giving the antibiotic cefepime to very sick patients with sepsis in the ICU. The new method adjusts the dose based on the patient's kidney function, using only standard doses. The main goal is to see if this approach is easy for doctors to use and if it helps patients recover faster with fewer side effects. About 300 adults will take part.
