Active clinical trials for "Bacteremia"

Phase IV, open-labeled, randomized and multicenter clinical trial to demonstrate the superiority of antibiotics with authorized indication for 7 days versus 14 days in the treatment of bloodstream infections produced by P. aeruginosa (BSI-PA).

Phase 1b/2a, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Intravenous AP SA02 as an Adjunct to Best Available Antibiotic Therapy Compared to Best Available Antibiotic Therapy Alone for the Treatment of Adults With Bacteremia Due to Staphylococcus aureus

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomised, Controlled, Open-Label Study to demonstrate noninferiority of temocillin (unauthorized investigational medicinal product IMP in Spain, but authorized in Belgium and UK) vs a carbapenem antibiotic (meropenem) in adults with bacteraemia due to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The duration of treatment will be between 7 and 14 days. From the 5th day of intravenous treatment, the sequential oral treatment is permitted if the patient meets appropriate conditions.

Data regarding optimal treatment for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae blood-stream infection are lacking. Observational studies show conflicting results when comparing treatment with combination beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor and carbapenems. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of definitive treatment with meropenem vs. piperacillin-tazobactam on the outcome of patients with bacteremia due to cephalosporin-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. The investigators hypothesize that piperacillin-tazobactam is non-inferior to meropenem.

Randomized clinical trial to determine the optimal duration of antibiotic treatment for E. Faecalis or E. faecium bacteraemia, following an innovative DOOR / RADAR (Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) and Response Adjusted for Duration of Antibiotic Risk (RADAR)) analysis methodology. Phase IV clinical trial, open-labelled, randomized, pragmatic, multicenter study to demonstrate non-inferiority of a 7-day antibiotic regimen vs. 14 days in the treatment of bacteremia due to E. faecalis or E. faecium.

The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).

The goal of this quasi-experimental interventional study is to determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted stewardship intervention in reducing overall vancomycin use in five tertiary care Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU). There are two groups of subjects in this study: PICU clinicians/sepsis stakeholders and patients admitted to one of the participating PICUs during the study period. The intervention will at a minimum include: Implementation of a clinical guideline indicating when vancomycin should and should not be used Unit-level feedback on overall vancomycin use within and across centers Clinician education.

The increasing number of persons >65 years of age form a special population at risk for nosocomial and other health care-associated infections. The vulnerability of this age group is related to impaired host defenses such as diminished cell-mediated immunity. Lifestyle considerations, e.g., travel and living arrangements, and residence in nursing homes, can further complicate the clinical picture. The magnitude and diversity of health care-associated infections in the aging population are generating new arenas for prevention and control efforts. Common infections leading to hospitalizations in this age group result in respiratory infections and bacteraemia and the impact of these infections on the quality of life and disability in aged populations has not been accurately quantified in a European setting. This study aims to capture and quantify the impact of infectious diseases on quality of life in an aged population.

This is an open-label, randomized, multi-center, interventional, active-controlled Phase 4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAZ-AVI versus BAT in the treatment of infected participants with selected infection types (Hospital Acquired Pneumonia [HAP] (including Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [VAP]); Complicated Urinary-Tract Infection [cUTI]; Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection [cIAI]; Bloodstream Infection [BSI]) due to carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens in China.This study will be an estimation study. The statistical inference will be based on point estimate and confidence interval.

The World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (AMMI) Canada, and Health Canada have all declared antimicrobial resistance a global threat to health, based on rapidly increasing resistance rates and declining new drug development. Up to 30-50% of antibiotic use is inappropriate, and excessive durations of treatment are the greatest contributor to inappropriate use. Shorter duration treatment (≤7 days) has been shown in meta-analyses to be as effective as longer antibiotic treatment for a range of mild to moderate infections. A landmark trial in critically ill patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia showed that mortality and relapse rates were non-inferior in patients who received 8 vs 15 days of treatment. Similar adequately powered randomized trial evidence is lacking for the treatment of patients with bloodstream infections caused by a wide spectrum of organisms.
