NCT ID NCT05914467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether using personalized dosing (based on drug levels in the blood) for the antibiotic teicoplanin works better than standard dosing for treating bacterial infections. About 74 adults in hospital intensive care or other units will take part. The goal is to see if more patients reach the right drug level faster and have better outcomes.
