Active clinical trials for "Bacterial Infections"

Studies for GSK580416 have been completed in rats and dogs. The main toxic effects seen in animals affected the digestive system and blood cells. Study OPS106400 will be the first administration of GSK580416 in humans. Parts A and B of this study will examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of increasing single doses of GSK580416 with reference to placebo. Part C of the study will assess the effect of food on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of GSK580416 in healthy subjects.

To evaluate the ocular tolerance of T1225 1% and 1.5% eye drops versus vehicle after one instillation twice-daily (morning and evening), in one eye, during 3 days (from Day 0 to Day 2). To assess azithromycin tear, conjunctiva and plasmatic concentrations, after a 3-day treatment period

The purpose of this study is to determine whether telavancin (TD-6424, ARBELIC) can be safety administered to patients with bloodstream infections and whether telavancin is effective in treating these infections.

The purpose of this study is to provide a mechanism for the emergency use of tigecycline in the appropriate clinical situations. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of patients with selected serious infections where other treatment has not been successful.

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of oral levofloxacin (an antibiotic) with that of oral lomefloxacin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections in adults.

The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections have gradually increased over the years worldwide (1-3). In China, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) was the most prevalent NTM specie (4), while challenged by long treatment duration, frequent drug-induced adverse events, lack of treatment alternatives, poor treatment outcome and high recurrence rate (5, 6). In order to maximize the efficacy of the few available drugs and prevent the development of drug resistance, ensuring adequate plasma drug concentrations are of importance. Despite the role of pathogen susceptibility, determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), is non-negligible, the evidences regarding its association with treatment outcome are limited, especially for rifamycin and ethambutol. The difficulties in explaining the clinical values of MIC might partially be attributed to the lack of in vivo drug exposure data, which cannot be accurately predicted by the dose administered because of between-patient pharmacokinetic variability (7). Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a strategy to guide and personalize treatment by measuring plasma drug concentrations and pathogen susceptibility, which might have the potential to improve treatment response to MAC lung disease. In this observational study, the hypothesis is that the drug exposure and/or MIC of antimycobacterial drugs are correlated to the treatment response of MAC lung disease, which is assessed from the perspective of treatment outcome, mycobacterial culture negative conversion, lung function, radiological presentation and self-reported quality of life. Consenting adult patients with culture-positive MAC lung disease will be recruited in study hospital. Respiratory samples (sputum and/or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) will be collected regularly for mycobacterial culture on the basis of BACTEC MGIT 960 system and MIC will be determined using a commercial broth microdilution plate. Drug concentrations will be measured at 1 and/or 6 months after treatment initiation using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The final treatment outcome is recorded at the end of MAC treatment and defined according to an NTM-NET consensus statement (8).

Multicenter, Retrospectivecohort study in patients with Chronic Prostatitis, Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis (Category II) and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (Category IIIA, IIIB) and 140 patients without other significant comorbidities will be participated. The aim of the study is to collect post-treatment data to evaluate inflammation, infection status and quality of life with standard antibiotic therapy with NSAID and added Treataprost effect.

Severe infections can be caused by various organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, and lead to otherwise healthy people getting very unwell, sometimes needing treatment in hospital or even intensive care. For the treatment of bacterial infections to be successful, the correct antibiotics need to be given promptly. Early in the course of illness, clinicians often do not know exactly which bacteria are causing the infection. Furthermore, patients differ in terms of how their bodies process the antibiotics they are given; this means that some may get too much and others too little. This can in turn lead to some patients not being fully cured, and others coming to harm due to side effects of higher doses of these drugs. For certain types of antibiotics, clinicians are able to measure their levels in the bloodstream, which can help guide dosing. This is called therapeutic drug monitoring, and is commonly used in clinical practice. One of the problems with therapeutic drug monitoring is that it is often not available outside of regular working hours, is costly, and most importantly, provides clinicians with useful information only after a few days of treatment have already been completed. This may be too late to treat these severely ill patients with life-threatening infections, where early and appropriate treatments matter. The aim of our study, called TDM-TIME, is to look at how long it takes for blood samples to get from the patient to the laboratory to be measured, with the results then communicated back to clinicians. We are further looking to investigate whether steps can be taken to improve these timings, which would lead to shorter times until treatments can be improved. As our study is observational, we will not change anything about the treatment of our patients, but will only be measuring levels of antibiotics in their blood.

This study evaluates the safety and clinical benefit of MBN-101 administered intraoperatively to osteosynthesis or osteomyelitis sites for patients diagnosed with an orthopedic infection, with or without orthopaedic hardware. Three quarters of the patients will receive MBN-101, while the other one quarter will receive placebo.

TD-1607, administered intravenously as multiple ascending doses, will be investigated in healthy subjects to assess its tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
