NCT ID: NCT03174236 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Antibiotic Resistance

First Line Antimicrobials in Children With Complicated Severe Acute Malnutrition

FLACSAM
Start date: September 4, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Children with severe malnutrition who are admitted sick to hospitals have a high mortality(death rate), usually because of infection. All children with severe malnutrition admitted to hospitals are treated with antibiotics(medication used to kill bacteria). However, the current antibiotics used in hospitals may not be the most effective. It is possible that the antibiotics that are currently used after initial antibiotics should be used first. No studies have been carried out to determine if the current antibiotics used for treating malnourished children who are sick and admitted in hospital are the most appropriate. The aim of this study is to find out if a changed antibiotic system for children with malnutrition is safe, reduces the risk of death and improves nutritional recovery.
