Antibiotic treatment trial for early syphilis
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cefixime can treat primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis. It may help by offering another effective antibiotic option, including for some people who also have HIV (if well controlled).
