NCT ID NCT06848387
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measures the amount of free cloxacillin in the blood of adults receiving the drug as a continuous infusion for severe staph infections. Researchers want to ensure levels are not too high or too low. They will use this data to create a model that predicts the right dose based on age, kidney function, and other factors. The study involves 25 participants and is currently recruiting.
