Antibiotic combo to prevent early birth at 18-23 weeks
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a combination of antibiotics can lower the risk of early birth and improve outcomes for babies when a mother has a very short cervix or bulging water bag between 18 and 23 weeks of pregnancy. It is for women who are not yet in active labor and whose water has not broken.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 weeks and 0 days and 23 weeks and 6 days pregnant with a single baby.
- Your cervix is very short (≤10 mm) or the water bag is bulging, but your water has NOT broken.
- You are not having regular, painful contractions (this is threatened labor, not active labor).
- You are over 18 years old, speak French, and have social security coverage.
- You have not already received antibiotics for this condition and have no other infections requiring antibiotics.

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 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 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 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 compares two approaches for premature babies born at 26 to 34 weeks who have risk factors for early infection: giving antibiotics only if they develop signs of infection versus giving them right away. It aims to find out if waiting is safe and reduces unnecessary antibiotic use.
