Comparing two doses of ceftriaxone for gonorrhea in men
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a lower dose (500 mg) of the antibiotic ceftriaxone works as well as the standard dose (1000 mg) for treating gonorrhea in men. If you have a gonorrhea infection in your throat, rectum, or genitals and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This study evaluates a new rapid test for gonorrhea designed for women. You'll provide vaginal swab samples and complete a brief counseling session to help researchers understand how well the test works and whether patients can use it correctly.
This trial tests a combination of medications (doxycycline, pentoxifylline, and nitazoxanide) in men with untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia. It may help clear the infection more effectively, but you must meet specific safety and health criteria.
This study tests whether an antibiotic called temocillin works as well as standard treatment for gonorrhea that has no symptoms. You may qualify if you've tested positive for gonorrhea but don't have signs of infection.
This study checks whether a specific lab test (the “gyrA assay”) can detect gonorrhea in people who do not have symptoms. It may help clinicians find gonorrhea more quickly and with the right treatment when symptoms aren’t present.
This study tests two ways to prevent STIs in men who have sex with men in Kenya: taking antibiotics only when you have symptoms, or taking a single antibiotic pill (doxycycline) shortly after sex. It aims to find which approach works better for keeping you healthy.
This study looks at two antibiotics given during pregnancy: ceftriaxone (given as a shot or IV) for infections other than syphilis, and benzathine penicillin G (given as a shot) for syphilis. The goal is to learn more about how these medicines affect pregnant women and their babies.
