Antibiotic effectiveness study in infection patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well beta-lactam antibiotics (a common type of antibiotic) work in people being treated for infections at Imperial College NHS Trust. The information may help doctors make better dosing decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are being treated for an infection at Imperial College NHS Trust.
- You have received a beta-lactam antibiotic (like penicillin or amoxicillin) in the last 2 days, or are about to start one.
- If you can't give consent, you have delirium from infection, a brain infection, or are critically ill on a breathing machine.
- You do not have severe anemia, a bleeding disorder, or a terminal illness under palliative care.
- You are not in another trial that blocks this one, and you are not in prison or under legal protection.

This study looks at whether giving common antibiotics in certain dose schedules (either through a drip over time or continuously) is done in a way that fits pediatric intensive care needs. It may help improve antibiotic treatment for children who are very sick and need antibiotics.
This study looks at how doctors can better monitor antibiotic levels in the blood of intensive care patients with severe infections (sepsis or septic shock). The goal is to see if adjusting antibiotic doses based on these levels improves recovery.
This trial tests a new way to quickly measure antibiotic levels in the blood of ICU patients, so doctors can adjust the dose for each person. It aims to make antibiotic therapy more effective and safer.
This study looks at how doctors and patients make decisions together about using antibiotics wisely in the hospital. If you are a patient who was treated with antibiotics for an infection while hospitalized, or a senior doctor who cares for such patients, this trial may be a fit.
This study looks at how doctors can best manage antibiotics for a common type of blood infection (caused by Enterobacterales bacteria like E. coli). If you join, your treatment will be carefully guided to make sure you get the right antibiotics at the right time, which may help you recover faster and prevent antibiotic resistance.
This trial tests a method to check antibiotic levels in the blood of very sick patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if adjusting the dose based on these levels helps recovery.
