A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of i.v. And/Or Oral Levofloxacin With That of Ticarcillin/Clavulanate Alone or Followed by Amoxicillin/Clavulanate in the Treatment of Complicated Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin (an antibiotic) with ticarcillin/clavulanate alone or followed by amoxicillin/clavulanate in the treatment of complicated skin infections.
Conditions: Skin Diseases, Bacterial.
Primary outcome: Clinical response rates at post-therapy, categorized as cured, improved, or failed..
Enrollment: 413 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 413 participants or records.
