NCT05248620
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotic treatment on blood stream infections and severe culture negative infections, in patients on newly started hemodialysis(HD), with a central venous catheter as vascular access.
Detailed Description:
After being informed about the study and potential risks all eligible patients, giving written informed consent will be included in the study. At week 0 patients will be randomized in a single blinded manner (participants and care providers) in a 1:1 manner to receive 500/125mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 30-120 minutes before each hemodialysis with a central venous catheter (CVC) as vascular access, or corresponding placebo. The timing of antibiotic administration has been established in a pilot-study in order to secure a sufficient concentration of antibiotics during the dialysis session. In case of side effects to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, the prophylactic antibiotic will be shifted to 600mg clindamycin. Total treatment period with prophylactic antibiotics is 6 months, with a 1 year follow-up.
