Rapid test may speed up right antibiotics for pneumonia in vulnerable ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05405491
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a rapid PCR test can help doctors choose the right antibiotics within 24 hours for immunocompromised ICU patients with pneumonia. Standard lab tests take days, which can lead to incorrect or overly broad antibiotics. The trial involves 31 adults with weak immune systems who are on breathing machines.
