What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MSSA/MRSA colonization in the nares

    Subjects will undergo a swab of their nares to undergo PCR analysis to determine if they are effectively decolonized four hours after initial treatment

    Measured: 4 hours

  2. MSSA/MRSA colonization as tested by PCR

    Subjects will undergo a swab of their nares to undergo PCR analysis to determine if they are effectively decolonized four hours after initial treatment

    Measured: 24 hours

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MSSA/MRSA colonization in the nares (time frame: 4 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02652325, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
