Active clinical trials for "Bacteremia"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CF-301 in addition to background standard of care (SOC) antibacterial therapy for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bloodstream infections (bacteremia), including endocarditis in adults. Patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of CF-301 or placebo in addition to SOC antibacterial therapy. Patients will be prescribed standard of care antibiotics selected by the investigators based on their professional experience, practice guidelines and local antibiotic susceptibility information for the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia. CF-301 is a lysin and member of a new class of targeted protein-based antimicrobials that has demonstrated activity against S. aureus in laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies, alone and in addition to conventional antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the HeRO Vascular Access Device in access challenged (e.g., catheter-dependent) hemodialysis patients. It is hypothesized the bacteremia rate associated with the HeRO device will be lower than a historical literature control of tunneled dialysis catheters.

Evaluate the safety, PK and efficacy comparing Pagibaximab Injection to placebo in preventing staphylococcal sepsis in very low birth weight infants. 1550 infants will be enrolled prior to 48 hours of life and will be randomized 1:1 to receive active drug or placebo on study days 0, 1, 2, 9, 16, and 23.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of daptomycin, an antibiotic, to standard therapy in subjects who have infective endocarditis or bacteremia due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

To optimize Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) prophylaxis in AIDS patients by measuring serum rifabutin levels and adjusting the dose accordingly. To combine rifabutin with ethambutol to examine the effect of combination therapy in preventing or delaying the incidence of MAC bacteremia in this patient population.

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the safety and the relative benefit of rifabutin monotherapy in preventing or delaying the incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteremia in AIDS patients with CD4 counts less than or equal to 200, as compared to placebo, and to assess if survival is prolonged in patients who receive rifabutin prophylaxis.

To determine the antimicrobial activity and tolerability of rifapentine alone and in combination therapy in patients with AIDS and disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteremia. To determine the pharmacokinetics of rifapentine and its metabolite, 25-desacetyl, alone and in combination therapy. To determine the pharmacokinetics of azithromycin and clarithromycin (and its 14-OH metabolite) in combination therapy.

Primary objective of the study is to establish the incidence of all any catheter related complications in BIP CVC and standard CVC groups in patients requiring CVC. (CVC - Central Venous Catheter; BIP - Bactiguard Infection Protection)

Current dosing regimens for vancomycin result in many young infants not reaching the target level of vancomycin in the blood at steady state (when the blood is in equilibrium at 24-48 hours).The purpose of this study is to assess an improved method of calculating the dose of vancomycin ('model-based dosing') in young infants with infections in order for them to achieve the target vancomycin level at steady state. A dosing calculator (which will be available through a web application) will be used for the dose calculation.

Gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) is a frequent hospital & community-acquired infection, yet there is as yet no evidence from randomized studies on the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy. This point-of-care, multicenter randomized controlled non-inferiority trial will randomize 500 patients with GNB on day 5 of appropriate antibiotic therapy to either (1) a total of 7 days of antibiotic therapy, (2) a total of 14 days of antibiotic therapy, or (3) an individualized duration of antibiotic therapy (guided by the patient's clinical course & C-reactive protein levels). The primary outcome is the incidence of clinical failure at day 30.
