Antibiotic prevention for certain liver disease patients
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics can help people with certain liver conditions avoid infections after an endoscopy-related procedure. It may reduce infection risk, but it also requires that you have no signs of infection and haven’t recently taken antibiotics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have live cirrhosis and/or a liver tumor (hepatoma)
- You are between 20 and 85 years old
- You recently had an endoscopy-related treatment and were found to have EV(-)GV(+) or EV less than GV
- You do not have a terminal illness affecting major organs (for example severe heart, kidney, or lung disease)
- You have not taken antibiotics recently
- You do not currently seem to have an infection

This study tests whether giving antibiotics chosen specifically for your resistant bacteria before a liver transplant can prevent infections better than the usual standard antibiotics. It aims to improve recovery and lower the risk of serious infection after surgery.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics before liver or bile duct surgery can prevent wound infections in areas where bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. You would receive antibiotics as a preventive measure and be monitored for any surgical site infections.
This trial tests a new way to prevent infections in people who have emergency surgery on their belly after a serious injury. The treatment is given during or right after surgery to lower the risk of infection.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic to standard antibiotics helps treat an infection in the abdominal fluid of people with cirrhosis (called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) and prevents it from coming back.
This early-stage study tests whether giving preventive (prophylactic) antibiotics helps prevent infections when an external brain fluid drain (EVD) is placed and used. It may help lower the chance of serious infections around the drain.
This trial tests whether giving a mixture of helpful bacteria can improve gut health in people hospitalized with serious liver problems. It aims to see if restoring these bacteria can help with recovery.
