Targeted antibiotics to prevent infections after bladder removal
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a personalized antibiotic approach before surgery can reduce infections compared to the usual one-size-fits-all antibiotics. It focuses on people having their bladder removed (cystectomy) with a specific type of urinary diversion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older at the time of surgery
- You understand and can sign a consent form
- You need bladder removal for cancer or another non-cancer reason
- Your surgeon plans to use an ileal conduit (a pouch made from part of your small intestine) to reroute urine

This trial tests if giving a medicine called Fluconazole can prevent fungal infections after bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) where a piece of the small intestine is used to create a new way for urine to leave the body (ileal conduit).
This trial tests if giving a specific antibiotic can help prevent bloodstream infections in people who recently had a kidney transplant. It is for patients who have a significant amount of bacteria in their urine within the first month after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics before bladder removal surgery reduces infections. If you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are having your bladder removed, you may be able to join.
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
This trial tests whether continuing or stopping a specific antibiotic (TMP-SMX) after the first 6 months can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in kidney transplant recipients who are at high risk for them.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before surgery can lower the chance of infection after groin hernia repair in people who are at higher risk due to age, diabetes, obesity, or other health conditions. If you're over 60 and have one of these risk factors, this study may help you avoid a wound infection.
