First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether stopping antibiotics earlier—once a patient is stable for 72 hours—works as well as the usual 10-day course for blood cancer patients who develop a serious infection. About 172 adults with leukemia or lymphoma will be randomly assigned to either the personalized shorter course or the standard longer one. The goal is to reduce antibiotic use and its side effects without increasing the risk of infection coming back.
