Antibiotic wash for abscesses with a drain
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether putting antibiotic fluid through a drain helps treat an abscess inside the abdomen after it’s been drained. It may help improve infection control while the drain is in place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abscess inside your abdomen that already has a catheter/drain placed to drain it
- You are receiving antibiotics through your bloodstream (systemic antibiotics)
- A doctor says the abscess can be treated with an image-guided drain placement
- You are able to give informed consent (or have someone legally able to consent for you)
- Your abscess is considered drainable using imaging guidance so the study procedure can be done

This study tests a method to treat abdominal abscesses by injecting alcohol through a drainage catheter to shrink the abscess. It aims to help people who have an abscess without a fistula to the bowel or skin.
This trial tests if a special antibiotic wash during laparoscopic appendectomy can prevent a pocket of infection (abscess) from forming in people with complicated appendicitis. If you have complicated appendicitis and are undergoing keyhole surgery, this could help you heal faster with fewer complications.
This trial compares two treatments for a diverticulitis complication where a pus-filled pocket (abscess) forms near the colon. You either receive antibiotics alone or a procedure to drain the abscess, and researchers will see which leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether draining a breast abscess with a needle and using antibiotics can treat it without surgery. It may be a gentler option for women with this condition.
This study compares two ways to treat appendicitis that has formed an abscess or firm inflammatory mass (phlegmon) on a CT scan. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with complicated appendicitis.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics after draining a first-time perianal abscess can prevent a fistula (an abnormal tunnel) from forming. If you have a first abscess near the anus that needs draining, you may be able to join.
