About this study
Official title: Phase 4, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Safety of 1 g of Cefazolin in Pediatric Subjects Weighing 25 to Less Than 60 kg and 2 g of Cefazolin in Pediatric Subjects Weighing at Least 60 kg Scheduled for Surgery
This is a Phase 4, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group, multicenter, safety study of cefazolin (1 g or 2 g) in pediatric subjects between 10 and 17 years of age (inclusive) scheduled for surgery.
Read the detailed description
Approximately 110 subjects will be enrolled and assigned to 1 of the 2 dose groups in a 1:1 ratio (55 subjects in each group). Subjects with a weight of at least 25 kg but less than 60 kg will receive a single IV dose of 1 g cefazolin. Subjects with a weight of at least 60 kg will receive a single IV dose of 2 g cefazolin. Dose groups will not be balanced by age or gender. Additional subjects may be enrolled if necessary to ensure at least 50 evaluable subjects with complete safety data per dose group complete the study.
In a subset of approximately 40 subjects, 4 PK samples will be obtained to determine the cefazolin plasma concentrations in this population.
- Conditions
- Postoperative Infection
- Being tested

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a Phase 4, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group, multicenter, safety study of cefazolin (1 g or 2 g) in pediatric subjects between 10 and 17 years of age (inclusive) scheduled for surgery.
Detailed description
Approximately 110 subjects will be enrolled and assigned to 1 of the 2 dose groups in a 1:1 ratio (55 subjects in each group). Subjects with a weight of at least 25 kg but less than 60 kg will receive a single IV dose of 1 g cefazolin. Subjects with a weight of at least 60 kg will receive a single IV dose of 2 g cefazolin. Dose groups will not be balanced by age or gender. Additional subjects may be enrolled if necessary to ensure at least 50 evaluable subjects with complete safety data per dose group complete the study.
In a subset of approximately 40 subjects, 4 PK samples will be obtained to determine the cefazolin plasma concentrations in this population.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Cefazolin 1 g Infusion and Cefazolin 2 g Infusion in people with Postoperative Infection, run by B. Braun Medical Inc. at 5 sites in United States.
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 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety] (time frame: 8 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
