Could a heart drug beat a deadly blood infection? new trial aims to find out

NCT ID NCT07384702

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding clopidogrel, a drug usually used to prevent blood clots, to standard antibiotics improves outcomes for adults with a serious Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection. About 230 hospitalized patients will be randomly assigned to receive clopidogrel or not, and researchers will track survival, recovery, and side effects. The goal is to see if this combination leads to better overall results than antibiotics alone.
