A Single Dose of a Marketed Drug Being Studied for a New Indication to Treat Surgical Site Infection Following Colorectal Surgery as Compared to a Marketed Drug Approved for This Indication (0826-039)
February 16, 2017 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
A Prospective, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Comparative Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of a Single Dose of Ertapenem Sodium (MK0826) Versus Cefotetan for the Prophylaxis of Surgical Site Infection Following Elective Colorectal Surgery
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a one time dose of an intravenous marketed drug being evaluated for a new indication as compared to a marketed drug already approved for the prevention of surgical site infection following colorectal surgery.
