Heart infection treatment: could less be more?
NCT ID NCT07253688
First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looks at whether not giving the antibiotic rifampin is as safe and effective as giving it for people with a serious heart valve infection caused by S. aureus bacteria. About 330 adults with infected prosthetic heart valves will be randomly assigned to receive or skip rifampin alongside standard care. The goal is to see if avoiding rifampin reduces side effects without increasing complications like death, need for heart surgery, or new infections.
