NCT ID NCT06002607
First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study compares a short course of antibiotics (48 hours after infection control) to the usual 7-day course for people with severe, life-threatening skin infections called necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as safe and effective, potentially reducing side effects and hospital stays. About 50 adults with NSTI will participate, and researchers will also check if a blood test (procalcitonin) can help guide treatment decisions.
