Syphilis cure test: pill vs shot showdown

NCT ID NCT04838717

Summary

This study tested if taking an oral antibiotic (doxycycline) for two weeks works as well as the standard single penicillin injection for curing early syphilis. It involved 200 adults with early-stage syphilis and aimed to provide a proven alternative treatment, especially important during penicillin shortages. The main goal was to see if the pill was not worse than the shot at clearing the infection after six months.
