New treatment option for Antibiotic Prophylaxis
Official title Linezolid or Vancomycin Surgical Site Infection Prophylaxis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05571722
What this study is testing
What is Vancomycin Injection?
Vancomycin Injection is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for antibiotic prophylaxis.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Anesthesia and surgical guidelines recommend the administration of a surgical antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing "clean" surgery. The prescribed antibiotic should target the bacteria most commonly found in surgical site infections (SSIs) and the duration of administration should not exceed 24 hours to minimize the ecological risk of bacterial resistance emergence.
