Azithromycin Prophylaxis for PRElabor CEsarean DElivery Trial

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a phase-III multi-center double-blind randomized controlled trial of 8,000 individuals undergoing a scheduled or prelabor cesarean delivery who are randomized to either adjunctive azithromycin prophylaxis or to placebo. Both groups also will receive standard of care preoperative antibiotics (excluding azithromycin). The primary endpoint is a maternal infection composite defined as any one of the following up to 6 weeks postpartum: endometritis, wound infection, abscess, septic thrombosis, sepsis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis and breast infection.

Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * ≥ 23 weeks' gestation (ACOG dating criteria)
  2. * Scheduled or prelabor cesarean delivery
  3. * Singleton or twin gestation
  1. * Allergy or contraindication to azithromycin or macrolide antibiotics, including those with a history of cholestatic jaundice/hepatic dysfunction associated with prior use of azithromycin
  2. * Chorioamnionitis
  3. * Bacterial infection (e.g., pyelonephritis) requiring ongoing antibiotic treatment after delivery
  4. * Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) or labor (i.e., contractions with ongoing cervical change)
  5. * Fetal demise or known major congenital anomaly
  6. * Azithromycin treatment within 7 days
  7. * Planned use of antimicrobial prophylaxis after delivery for any reason
  8. * Known structural heart disease or active cardiomyopathy (current ejection fraction\<40%)
