Comparing Antibiotic Treatment Strategies for Children With Pneumonia in Outpatient Settings: (STAMPP)

Exploring pneumonia antibiotic options for children in outpatient care.

12-71 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is about testing two ways to give antibiotics to kids with a lung infection called community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). One way is the **"watch and wait"** method or Safety Net Antibiotic Prescribing (SNAP). Here, parents only give antibiotics if the child isn't better after 72 hours or gets worse. The other way is giving antibiotics right after a doctor's visit. The study is to see which method works better.

Children aged 12 months to under 6 years who can be treated at home are eligible. The study lasts 14 days, with surveys on days 4, 7, and 14. Parents will fill out surveys and might be interviewed. About 2,000 children will join this study across different places in the U.S.

Here are a few points to know:

  • The study lasts 14 days with surveys on days 4, 7, and 14.
  • Participants will be randomly chosen for either the SNAP or immediate antibiotic group.
  • Parents or guardians will participate in surveys and might have interviews.
