NCT ID NCT05681442

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at 600 ICU patients with hospital-acquired sepsis to see if giving antibiotics continuously or adding a second antibiotic improves survival. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive a beta-lactam antibiotic either continuously or intermittently, and some will also get an aminoglycoside antibiotic for one day or five days. The main goal is to compare 30-day death rates between the groups.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
beta-lactam antibiotics (given continuously or intermittently) and aminoglycoside antibiotics (given as a single dose or for 5 days)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous antibiotic infusion or adding a second antibiotic improves survival in sepsis patients in the ICU.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 4 trial, but sepsis is complex and results may not apply to all patients. The open-label design could introduce bias, and the benefit may be modest.
