All Clinical Trials for KEFZOL
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00550290 ↗ | Prophylactic Antibiotics for Prevention of Wound Complications Following Vulvectomy | Completed | Aultman Health Foundation | Phase 4 | 2007-10-01 | This randomized prospective study will specifically investigate the efficacy of a 24 hour post-operative course of broad-spectrum prophylactic antibiotics - namely Cefazolin - in preventing wound infection and wound breakdown following vulvectomy. |
| NCT01295606 ↗ | Cefazolin Pharmacokinetics: Elimination Clearance in Neonates | Completed | Universitaire Ziekenhuizen Leuven | Phase 4 | 2011-02-01 | To document cefazolin disposition (concentration/time profile, protein binding, metabolism, renal elimination characteristics) and its covariates in neonates following intravenous administration of the drug at induction of anesthesia, prior to an invasive procedure To evaluate if optimalisation of cefazolin dose regimen during neonatal life is needed |
| NCT01991834 ↗ | Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Gynecologic Laparoscopy | Completed | Universidade do Vale do Sapucai | N/A | 2013-09-01 | Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure indicated for most gynecological pathologies and presents numerous advantages over laparotomy, among them lower rates of surgical site infection and less comorbidity feverish. Despite this, the use of antibiotic prophylaxis is widely accepted and performed by most gynecologists. However, there isn't literature evidence to support the routine use of antibiotics in the prophylaxis of wound infection on laparoscopic pelvic surgery .Therefore, this study will evaluate the need for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in gynecological laparoscopies not including opening hollow viscera. |
| NCT02078895 ↗ | Randomization of Botox for Stent Pain and Irritative Voiding Symptoms | Terminated | University of California, Irvine | Phase 3 | 2014-02-01 | Botulinum toxin type A (Botox A) has shown great success in treating certain urologic conditions. A recent study has documented that Botox injected around the ureteral orifice (or place where the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder enters the bladder), during placement of a ureteral stent (small rubber tube that facilitate drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder), resulted in a marked decline in the amount of stent pain experienced by patients. This finding was quite remarkable as stents are commonly used in many Urologic conditions, and these stents produce a remarkable degree of patient discomfort. Despite the great improvement in pain reduction, the irritative voiding symptoms [frequent need to void, urgency, burning with urination (dysuria) or nighttime voiding (nocturia)] were not ameliorated by the Botox injections in the ureteral orifice. However, it has already been well documented that in other clinical settings, administrations of Botox into the bladder muscle, has been shown to reduce these irritative symptoms. The objective of the study is to determine if pain and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms related to ureteral stent placement will improve after the injection of Botox around the ureteral orifice and in the bladder itself. |
| NCT02216227 ↗ | Checklist to Prevent MRSA Surgical Site Infections | Completed | Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center | N/A | 2014-04-01 | The goals of this project are 1) to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the checklist to prevent MRSA SSIs among Veterans undergoing TJA or cardiac surgery, and 2) to assess barriers and facilitators to checklist implementation. Hypotheses: 1. The SSI checklist will be effective at reducing MRSA SSIs among total joint arthroplasty and cardiac surgery patients. 2. Implementation of the checklist will be associated with an overall reduction in SSIs caused by all pathogens. 3. The SSI Checklist will be cost-saving since it will prevent many expensive SSIs. 4. Preoperative MRSA testing will be a modifiable barrier to implementing the SSI checklist. |

| NCT02225821 ↗ | Wound Infections Following Implant Removal | Completed | AO Research Fund | Phase 4 | 2014-11-01 | In the Netherlands about 18,000 surgical procedures with implant removal are annually performed after fracture healing, of which 30-80% concern the foot, ankle and lower leg region. For clean surgical procedures, the rate of postoperative wound infections (POWIs) should be less than 5%. However, rates of 10-12% following implant removal, specifically after foot, ankle and lower leg fractures are reported. Currently, surgeons decide individually if antibiotics prophylaxis is given, since no guideline exists. This leads to undesirable practice variation. Therefore, the investigators propose a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) in patients scheduled for implant removal following a foot, ankle or lower leg fracture, to assess the (cost-)effectiveness of a single gift of antibiotic prophylaxis. Primary outcome is a POWI within 30 days after implant removal. Secondary outcomes are quality of life, functional outcome at 30 days and 6 months after implant removal and costs. With 2 x 250 patients a decrease in POWI from 10% to 3.3% (expected rate in clean-contaminated elective orthopedic trauma procedures) can be detected (Power=80%, 2-sided alpha=5%, including 15% lost to follow up). If the assumption of the investigators, that prophylactic antibiotics prior to implant removal reduces the infectious complication rate, is confirmed by this RCT, this will offer a strong argument to adopt a single gift of antibiotic prophylaxis as standard practice of care. This will reduce the incidence of POWIs and consequently will lead to less physical and social disabilities and health care use. In addition, it will decrease the rate of use of empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics (and antibiotic resistance) prescribed upon suspicion or diagnosis of a POWI. A preliminary, conservative estimation suggests yearly cost savings in the Netherlands of €3.5 million per year. |
