Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

IMPAACT 2044 is a study to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of ceftriaxone and benzathine penicillin G during pregnancy. Up to 78 pregnant women receiving (1) ceftriaxone for indications other than syphilis or (2) benzathine penicillin G for treatment of syphilis from non-study clinical care providers will be enrolled at study sites located in the United States. Approximately 22 infants of pregnant participants receiving benzathine penicillin G will also be enrolled.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

IMPAACT 2044 is a Phase IV, multi-site, open-label, non-randomized, opportunistic study to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of ceftriaxone and benzathine penicillin G during pregnancy.

The study includes two arms, with Arm 1 subdivided by route of administration:

Arm 1A: Intravenous (IV) ceftriaxone Arm 1B: Intramuscular (IM) ceftriaxone Arm 2: IM benzathine penicillin G

* At screening, has a viable singleton intrauterine pregnancy of any gestational age confirmed by fetal ultrasound, as determined by the site investigator based on medical records, with trimester documented based on the best available obstetric estimate
* At screening, is receiving or expected to receive one of the following drugs under study as prescribed by a clinical care provider and documented in medical records:
