Two antibiotic plans for water breaking before labor
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Have one baby (not twins or more)
- The baby is positioned head-down (vertex presentation)
- Your water has broken for more than 18 hours before labor starts, or you are in preterm labor
- You have not been told you carry Group B strep (GBS)
- You are not taking antibiotics for another infection like a urinary tract infection

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 trial tests two antibiotic approaches for pregnant women at term (37+ weeks) whose water bag has broken. Researchers are comparing ampicillin alone versus ampicillin plus gentamicin to see which approach better prevents infection and leads to better outcomes for mother and baby.
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.
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 study looks at how common certain hard-to-treat bacteria are in pregnant women whose water breaks early. It aims to help doctors better understand infection risks and guide treatment choices.
This trial tests different antibiotics to prevent infection in pregnancies where the water broke before 37 weeks, as long as labor hasn't started and there's no infection yet. It aims to find the best antibiotic to protect both mother and baby.
