About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Observational Registry Involving Patients Hospitalized With Complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (cSSTI) for IV Antibiotic Therapy

The purpose of this registry is to better understand (1) complicated skin and soft-tissue infections requiring hospitalization, and (2) clinical and economic outcomes in hospitalized patients receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy.

Read the detailed description

A prospective, multi-center, observational study involving 1200 patients hospitalized for the treatment of cSSTIs. The study will be conducted at approximately 50 hospitals in the US. Patients who consent to participate in the registry will be enrolled in the registry within 24 hours of initial IV antibiotic therapy for treatment of one or more cSSTI types. Sites will treat patients according to their usual clinical practice. The objective of this registry is to characterize cSSTIs with respect to patient characteristics and describe patient outcomes.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
