Shortened Antibiotic Treatment of 5 Days in Community-Acquired Pneumonia — CAP5  

Community-acquired Pneumonia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Shortened Antibiotic Treatment in Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Nationwide Danish Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

CAP5 is an investigator-initiated multicentre non-inferiority randomized controlled trial which aims to assess the efficacy and safety of shortened antibiotic treatment duration of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in hospitalized adult patients based on clinical stability criteria. Five days after initiation of antimicrobial therapy for CAP, participants are randomized 1:1 to parallel treatment arms: 5 days (intervention) or minimum 7 days (control) of antibiotic treatment. The intervention group discontinues antibiotics at day 5 if clinically stable and afebrile for at least 48 hours. The control group receives antibiotics for a duration of 7 days or longer at the discretion of the treating physician. The primary outcome is 90-day readmission-free survival which will be tested with a non-inferiority margin of 6%.
