First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the current dosing of the antibiotic gentamicin is safe and effective for newborns up to 7 days old with early-onset sepsis. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and check for kidney or hearing problems. The goal is to confirm that giving the medicine less often but in the right amount works best for both premature and full-term babies.
