Can a simpler dosing method for MRSA work just as well?

NCT ID NCT04793152

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a simpler way of dosing the antibiotic vancomycin (targeting a trough level of 10-15 mg/L) works as well as the more complex method (targeting AUC/MIC 400-600) for treating serious MRSA infections. About 700 adults with infections like bloodstream, lung, or bone infections will be randomly assigned to one of the two dosing strategies. The main goal is to see if the simpler method is not worse at preventing death or treatment failure within 90 days.
