Antibiotics for early water breaking before 23 weeks
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking antibiotics can help in pregnancies where the “water” broke early (before 23 weeks) but you don’t have a fever. It aims to reduce complications while keeping both mother and baby as safe as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving antibiotics to pregnant people with early water breaking (PPROM) before delivery improves outcomes. It aims to prevent infections and protect both parent and baby while waiting for delivery.
This trial compares giving antibiotics to all preterm babies at risk of infection versus giving them only if symptoms develop. It aims to find out if waiting is safer and reduces unnecessary antibiotic use.
This trial tests whether a combination of two antibiotics (azithromycin and ampicillin) can help pregnant people whose water has broken between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to see if this treatment improves outcomes for both the parent and baby without causing early labor or infection.
This study tests whether giving the antibiotic azithromycin for a longer period can help prevent infections in pregnant people whose water breaks early (between 22 and 28 weeks). If you are staying in the hospital for monitoring, this treatment aims to keep you and your baby healthier for as long as possible before delivery.
This trial compares two different “preventive” antibiotic schedules for pregnant people whose water breaks more than 18 hours before labor, or who go into preterm labor. The goal is to see which plan better helps mother and baby by reducing infection-related complications.
This trial compares two antibiotic treatments for pregnant people whose water breaks before labor starts at term (37 weeks or later). It aims to find the better way to prevent infection for both the parent and the baby.
