Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Medical Therapy | Subjects in the medical therapy arm will be treated with piperacillin/tazobactam for at least 24 hours. Ciprofloxacin/metronidazole will be used in penicillin-allergic patients. Subjects will be maintained on nothing by mouth with intravenous fluids for at least 12 hours. Subjects will be transitioned to oral antibiotics when their WBC is normal, they have a decrease in CRP by ≥ 15%, and they have been afebrile for 24 hours on IV antibiotics.~Piperacillin/Tazobactam: 24 hours of IV antibiotic administration | 0 | 20 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Surgical Intervention | Subjects in the surgical treatment arm will receive intravenous antibiotics until the time of operation, and will be maintained on intravenous fluids and no oral intake until they undergo appendectomy as per standard of care. Appendectomy will occur within 24 hours of enrollment. Subjects in the surgical treatment arm will receive post-operative antibiotics as per standard of care.~Piperacillin/Tazobactam: 24 hours of IV antibiotic administration~Surgical Treatment: Appendectomy | 0 | 19 | EG001 |
