Filter by:Objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 'Short duration antibiotic' (72hrs) and 'Standard duration antibiotic'(5 - 7days) in preterm neonates ( >28weeks and >1000grams ) with culture negative early onset sepsis.
The purpose of this study is to describe the population pharmacokinetic characteristics of piperacillin/tazobactam after intravenous administration in pregnant women during pregnancy and delivery, and to evaluate pharmacodynamic effectiveness and safety of piperacillin/tazobactam in pregnant women whose baby are at high risk of developing early-onset sepsis after birth.
A nationwide multicenter open label randomized controlled non-inferiority trial, including 18 departments. The study aims to compare an individualized antibiotic treatment duration with standard seven days of antibiotic treatment for culture negative early-onset infection in term newborns.
The goal of the NANO trial is to study the longstanding clinical practice of empirically administering intravenous antibiotics to extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants in the first days of life. In this 802-subject multicenter placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, the hypothesis to be tested is that the incidence of adverse outcomes is higher in babies receiving empiric antibiotics (EA) in the first week of life compared to babies receiving placebo. The study targets a population of ELBW infants in whom the clinical decision to use or not use EA is currently most challenging -- infants that are clinically stable that did not have a known exposure to intraamniotic infection and were not born preterm for maternal indications. The primary outcome is the composite outcome of late-onset sepsis (LOS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), or death during the index hospitalization. Secondary safety outcomes will include total antibiotic days, days to full enteral feedings, and common morbidities in preterm infants that have previously been linked to EA, e.g. retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Weight and length z-score, and head circumference, are standard measures to be collected weekly by clinical team per a standardized protocol.
Antibiotic therapy for early onset neonatal sepsis recommended by international guidelines and relevant studies is only kind of treatment regimen that penicillin G/ penicillin/ampicillin combined with gentamicin as the first-line treatment regimen. However, it is not applicable to the clinical practice in many countries and regions. We aim to study efficacy and safety of antibiotics in the treatment of early onset neonatal sepsis.
An EONS occurred in nearly 14-22 % of the preterm infant of pregnant women with PPROM. To this day no risk prediction is established. The main aim of this pilot study is generating primary data with a focus on the vaginal microbiome to set-up a prospective, multi-centre trial investigating the role of the vaginal microbiome for future EONS risk prediction. The planned PEONS pilot trial is subdivided in three Work packages: 1. Recruitment, sample collection and routine clinical diagnostics 2. Microbiome analysis by 16S rRNA 3. Microbiome/ Metagenome analysis by "Nanopore" (proof-of-principle) and will enroll women with a PPROM event hospitalized between 22+0 and 34+0 weeks of gestation and neonates with signs of EONS (Subgroup 1) and without signs of EONS (Subgroup 2).
