Comparing new antibiotics for treating diabetic foot infections
Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Contezolid Acefosamil and Contezolid Compared to Linezolid Administered Intravenously and Orally to Adults With Moderate or Severe Diabetic Foot Infections (DFI)
Run by MicuRx · NCT05369052 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing two new antibiotics to see if they can better treat moderate to severe foot infections in adults with diabetes compared to a standard antibiotic.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with diabetes mellitus who have moderate or severe diabetic foot infections that meet specific clinical criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with diabetic foot infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria or those with severe complications like osteomyelitis may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3 clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of contezolid acefosamil administered intravenously and contezolid taken orally, compared to linezolid given both intravenously and orally, in adults with moderate to severe diabetic foot infections. Approximately 865 participants will be enrolled, with the study focusing on infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The treatment duration will range from 14 to 28 days, and the study will be conducted across multiple centers to ensure diverse participant representation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective treatment option for patients suffering from diabetic foot infections.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in treating diabetic foot infections with similar antibiotic approaches, but this specific combination is being evaluated for the first time.
