New strategy aims to cut unnecessary antibiotics in pneumonia care
NCT ID NCT05568654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two approaches to reduce the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics in adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia. Researchers will compare rapid diagnostic testing and pharmacist-led de-escalation, alone or together, against usual care. The goal is to give the right antibiotics only when needed, lowering side effects and drug resistance. About 12,500 patients across multiple hospitals will take part.
