Treating bladder bacteria in pregnancy to prevent infections
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a common antibiotic can safely treat bacteria in the urine of pregnant women who have no symptoms, to see if it prevents later infections. It focuses on women in low- and middle-income countries.

This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This trial tests a therapy (called GAG therapy) to prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compares how similar the results are to a well-known antibiotic standard (nitrofurantoin) to see if it works reliably.
This study compares taking a daily antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) alone versus having a procedure that cauterizes bladder areas (fulguration) plus the same daily antibiotic, to see which is better at preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in women.
This trial compares a longer, higher-dose antibiotic course combined with methenamine hippurate (a urinary antiseptic) against standard care (low-dose antibiotics or methenamine alone) for women with chronic urinary tract infections. It aims to see if the extended treatment is more effective at relieving persistent symptoms.
This trial tests an investigational drug called Fluorothiazinone for women with recurring bacterial bladder infections. If you have frequent, painful urinary symptoms, this study might help assess a new treatment option.
This trial tests two antibiotics (pivmecillinam and nitrofurantoin) to see how well they treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in girls aged 12 to under 18. If your daughter has a UTI, this study may help find a quick and effective treatment.
