Official title
A Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Short-Course Antimicrobial Therapy for Young Children With Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Impact on Antimicrobial Resistance
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators will study whether, in young children with acute otitis media (AOM), shortening length of antibiotic treatment as a strategy for reducing antimicrobial resistance provides satisfactory clinical outcome. This is a Phase 2b multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in 600 children aged 6 through 23 months comparing the efficacy of consistent reduced-duration antimicrobial treatment (5 days) with that of consistent standard-duration treatment (10 days) for each episode of AOM developing during a single respiratory season (October 1 through May 31).
