Fosfomycin for drug-resistant bladder infections in children
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether fosfomycin works better than the usual treatment for children with urine infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs. It may help by using an antibiotic choice that can still work when common oral options may fail.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and under 18 years old
- A clinician suspects a bladder/urine infection based on symptoms
- Urine testing shows a strong, matching bacteria result from a urine culture
- The bacteria is the type that commonly causes childhood UTIs (like E. coli or Proteus) and is not a Pseudomonas germ
- The germ is resistant to multiple common oral antibiotics, like penicillins and some cephalosporins
- Your child has taken less than 48 hours of antibiotics that would work against that same germ

This trial studies whether IV (through a vein) fosfomycin can treat severe bacterial infections in adults. It may help people whose infection is covered by the standard fosfomycin use and who need hospital-level care.
This study compares two common antibiotics, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin, to see which works better for treating bladder infections (cystitis) in women. If you have a bladder infection, this trial will help find the best treatment for you.
This trial tests a single dose of an investigational antibiotic called gepotidacin in children aged 2 to 12 who have a bacterial infection or are taking antibiotics to prevent one. The goal is to see how the medicine works in young patients.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether switching from short-term IV antibiotics to an oral antibiotic combo is safe and effective for ESBL urine infections. It may help you avoid staying on IV antibiotics as long, if your bacteria are the right match.
This trial looks at whether a simpler antibiotic plan can work for children with uncomplicated bone or joint infections that start in the community. It may help reduce the need for complicated treatment while still keeping the infection under control.
This trial tests an antibiotic called fosfomycin for treating urinary tract infections in men. It aims to see if it works well and safely in a primary care setting.
