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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 using linezolid or vancomycin before surgery can better prevent infections at the surgical wound in people at higher risk. You might be considered because you either can’t take certain standard antibiotics (beta-lactams) and/or may carry MRSA bacteria.
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 study looks at how your body’s bacteria (microbiome in and around the urinary/genital area) may help guide personalized treatment for localized urologic cancers. The goal is to see whether tailoring treatment to your bacteria could improve outcomes.
