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).
This trial tests if taking a daily antibiotic (doxycycline) for two weeks can treat early syphilis in adults. It may help people who have been diagnosed with primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis.
This trial tests a better treatment for babies born with congenital syphilis. It aims to find out if a shorter, simpler antibiotic regimen works as well as the current standard treatment.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic (penicillin) during pregnancy can prevent syphilis infection in women who are at higher risk. If you are pregnant and have certain risk factors, this trial may help keep you and your baby safe from syphilis.
This study tests two new blood tests for syphilis. It compares them to approved tests using blood from people who may have or had syphilis, including pregnant women, HIV-positive people, and healthy volunteers.
This study is testing a new, faster way to check for syphilis in pregnant people, new mothers, and their newborns, as well as in men and non-pregnant people at a Harris Health clinic. The goal is to make sure more people get the right treatment quickly.
