Testing drug levels to improve antibiotic therapy in liver transplant patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks if monitoring antibiotic levels in the blood can help doctors give the right dose to liver transplant patients with serious bacterial infections. The goal is to make the treatment work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and have had a liver transplant.
- You have a Gram-negative bacterial infection within the first 90 days after transplant.
- You are being treated with a beta-lactam antibiotic (like penicillin or cephalosporin).
- You have not received this antibiotic for less than 48 hours.
- Your infection is not resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.
- You are not in hospice care or have a do-not-resuscitate order.

This study looks at whether bacteria or infections in the fluid used to preserve donor organs affect transplant outcomes and infection risk after surgery. Researchers will analyze preservation fluid samples to better understand how to prevent infections in transplant patients.
This trial checks if closely monitoring antibiotic levels in the blood can help prevent infections and improve outcomes after a lung transplant. It may help doctors adjust your medications more precisely.
This study looks at whether choosing antibiotics based on local hospital lab reports (antibiograms) works well for organ transplant patients who have a single bacteria in their bloodstream. It hopes to find the best way to treat these infections.
This study compares two ways of giving preventive antibiotics to liver transplant patients who carry resistant bacteria. The goal is to see if targeted antibiotics work better than standard ones at preventing infections without causing more side effects.
This study looks at what germs cause infections in people who have had a liver transplant. It aims to help doctors better prevent and treat infections after transplant.
This study looks at how an antibiotic moves through the body of liver transplant patients who have bile complications like leaks or abscesses. It aims to ensure the antibiotic reaches the bile in the right amount to fight infection.
