Efficacy of extended infusion of β-lactam antibiotics for the treatment of febrile neutropenia in haematologic patients (BEATLE): a randomised, multicentre, open-label, superiority clinical trial

The efficacy of extended infusions (EI) of β-lactam antibiotics for optimising outcomes in febrile neutropenia is unclear. We assessed whether the administration of β-lactams was more effective in EI than in intermittent infusion (II) for the treatment of febrile neutropenia.
