View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This is a Phase 4 multi-center, group-randomized, crossover trial to compare nasal antimicrobial photodisinfection therapy (aPDT) with standard of care for prevention of surgical site infections in patients undergoing major elective, urgent, or emergent surgeries in a hospital setting. The main outcomes are to: 1. compare the efficacy, and 2. estimate the safety of applying nasal (aPDT) before surgery in reducing the incidence of SSIs within the initial 30 days after surgery compared to standard of care (SOC). Participants in the intervention group will receive aPDT prior to surgery on the day of surgery. Participants in the control group will receive standard of care surgical site prevention measures prior to surgery.
