First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a single dose of the antibiotic oritavancin in 41 children under 18 with suspected or confirmed bacterial infections. The goal was to find the right dose and check for safety and side effects. It was an early-stage trial, so it focused on how the drug moves through the body and whether it is safe, not on curing the infection.
