Antibiotic comparison for teenage urinary tract infections
Treatments studied
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.

This trial tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein for 3 days works as well as giving 3 days through a vein followed by 7 days by mouth for a first urinary tract infection (kidney infection). It may help your child recover safely while possibly reducing longer IV treatment.
This trial tests if a switch to pivmecillinam pills after IV antibiotics works as well as standard oral antibiotics for E. coli febrile urinary tract infections. It aims to simplify treatment for patients who are already stable.
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 whether fosfomycin works better than the usual treatment for children with urine infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs. It may help by using an antibiotic choice that can still work when common oral options may fail.
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 whether one dose of intravenous (IV) antibiotics is as effective as the usual multiple-dose course for children with complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) who need IV treatment in the emergency department. It aims to reduce hospital stays and the need for repeated IV lines.
