NCT ID NCT07655596

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

Summary

This study compares two methods of giving the antibiotic cefazolin during orthopedic surgery to prevent surgical site infections. One group receives a continuous infusion during surgery, while the other gets the standard single dose before surgery. The trial will enroll 100 adults in Egypt to see which approach works better.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a simple change in how antibiotics are given during surgery to reduce infections.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (100 patients) comparing two ways of giving the same drug, so any difference may be small or not apply to other hospitals or surgeries.
