Antibiotic treatment for late preterm water breaking
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 tests whether vaginal probiotics can help prevent infection in pregnant women whose water broke early (preterm rupture of membranes). It is for women with a single baby, between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, who are being watched closely instead of being induced right away.
This trial compares two different “preventive” antibiotic schedules for pregnant people whose water breaks more than 18 hours before labor, or who go into preterm labor. The goal is to see which plan better helps mother and baby by reducing infection-related complications.
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of the antibiotic Zinacef (cefuroxime) to women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid during labor can reduce infections. You may be eligible if you have a full-term, single baby and your water is stained with meconium.
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 the antibiotic azithromycin for a longer period can help prevent infections in pregnant people whose water breaks early (between 22 and 28 weeks). If you are staying in the hospital for monitoring, this treatment aims to keep you and your baby healthier for as long as possible before delivery.
