New antibiotic may replace standard infection prevention in blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07616635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether fosfomycin, an older antibiotic, works as well as ciprofloxacin for preventing serious infections in people with blood cancers like leukemia or those receiving a stem cell transplant. 177 adults from 11 Spanish hospitals took part. The main goal was to see how many developed fever with low white blood cell counts. The results could offer a safer alternative to current prevention methods.
