Active clinical trials for "Bacterial Infections"

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multiple-dose trial conducted at a single center. The treatment period will consist of three 6 g doses (18 g) of ZTI-01 as a 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion (+10 minute window). A total of 30 enrolled subjects will be randomized to undergo a single standardized bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at one of five sampling times. A total of 6 subjects will be assigned to each BAL-sampling time. Up to ten additional enrolled subjects will act as alternates to obtain 30 evaluable subjects. An evaluable subject is defined as a subject who receives all doses of ZTI-01, undergoes BAL at the randomized sampling timepoint with BAL return volume adequate for testing, and undergoes at least the one blood sampling timepoint that is concurrent with the assigned BAL sampling timepoint, with blood sampling volume that is adequate for testing. The objectives of the study are to assess safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) for a multiple dose regimen of IV-infused ZTI-01.

A study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of solithromycin capsules in adolescents

This is a phase 1, non-randomized, open label, single-dose, two-period, cross-over study. This study will utilize 14C radiolabeled GSK1322322 to investigate the recovery, excretion, and pharmacokinetics of GSK1322322 in 6 healthy adult male subjects through the sampling of blood, urine, and feces. Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 7 to 8 weeks i.e., 30 day screening period, two dosing periods (approximately 8 days each) and a follow up visit. The subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day 1 of the first treatment period and remain in the unit for up to approximately 16 days through the end of the second treatment period. On Day 1 of Period 1, each subject will receive 14C radiolabeled GSK1322322 as a single therapeutic intravenous (IV) dose (1000 milligrams [mg]). When the total radioactivity is <1% of the administered dose in all subjects, Period 2 dosing will begin (approximately 8 days after the IV dose). On Day 1 of Period 2, each subject will receive single therapeutic oral solution dose (1200 mg). Blood, urine, bile and fecal samples will be collected during both the periods. The subject may be discharged from the unit as early as Day 8 of Period 2. Subjects will visit the study unit for the follow-up visit 7 to 10 days following discharge from the unit.

Triple therapy (TT) comprising proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin 1g and clarithromycin 500mg twice daily has long been considered one of the standard treatment for H. pylori infection as initial studies demonstrated success rates of > 90% on per protocol analysis (PP) and > 80% on intention to treat (ITT) analysis. However increasing bacterial resistance, especially to clarithromycin, has been reported and there are concerns that the efficacy of TT has decreased. Sequential therapy (ST) is an alternative first line therapy that consists of 5 days of treatment with a PPI and amoxicillin followed by 5-day treatment with the PPI and clarithromycin and metronidazole. The rationale for this approach is that amoxicillin may weaken the bacterial cell wall in the initial phase of treatment, and prevent the development of drug efflux channels that inhibit clarithromycin from binding to ribosomes and thus help to improve the efficacy of clarithromycin in the second phase of treatment. A recent meta-analysis based on mainly European studies showed that the success rate of ST compared to TT was 92.8 - 96% vs. 76.2 - 78.8%. Concomitant therapy (CT) is another alternative first line treatment that consists of 10 days of PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole. The rationale for using CT as a first line treatment option is to address the possibility of clarithromycin resistance which is increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Currently there are no randomized controlled studies that compared TT with ST in Singapore, although both regimens are being used in routine clinical practice. The hypothesis is that ST is superior to TT as first line treatment for H. pylori infection. The study aim to compare 10-day TT versus 10-day ST versus 10-day CT as first line treatment for H. pylori infection in Singapore.

The present controlled, randomized, doubleblind study aims to answer the following questions: How will the "normal flora" be affected by the xylitol consumption? Will daily consumption of xylitol change the plaque-saliva distribution of the mutans streptococci? The association of the test results will also be compared with the caries status at the baseline. About eighty subjects with MS counts of log CFU 5 or more will be identified and invited to the study. They will be randomly divided into a Xylitol and Sorbitol group. Xylitol/Sorbitol gum (6g polyol/day) will be used for 5 weeks. Saliva samples will be collected before and after gum use. Studying and quantifying of 16 bacterial species belonging to the normal flora by DNA-DNA hybridizations and Real-time PCR will show how xylitol influenced the oral flora in general.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cαStx1 and cαStx2 administered concomitantly in children presenting early signs of Shiga Toxin-Producing Bacterial (STPB) Infection.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of three different dosing regimens of brilacidin compared to daptomycin for the treatment of serious skin infections. This study will aid in selecting the appropriate dose of brilacidin for later stage studies.

This study will be conducted in three parts (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Part 1 of this study will evaluate the relative bioavailability of a single dose of GSK2140944 tablet formulation compared to the reference capsule formulation under fasted conditions. The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of the tablet formulation will also be assessed. Part 2 will evaluate the effect of repeat doses of itraconazole on the pharmacokinetics of GSK2140944 following a single dose. A decision will be made whether to use the current capsule formulation or the new tablet formulation in Part 2 based upon the safety and PK data obtained from Part 1. Part 3 is conditionally based upon progression of the tablet formulation from Part 1 and will evaluate the effect of food on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the tablet formulation following multiple doses in elderly healthy subjects.

This is a prospective study of Veterans with chronic lower extremity or diabetic foot ulcers who will be randomized to either a Larval Debridement Therapy group (Biobags every 4 days x 2 applications) or a Sharp Debridement Therapy group (standard or control weekly x 2) during an 8 day study period.

This study will be conducted to determine if altered renal function affects the plasma pharmacokinetics of gepotidacin, which will inform if dosing recommendations based upon renal impairment are required. The objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of gepotidacin administered as a 750 milligram (mg) intravenous (IV) dose in normal healthy subjects compared with subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, and with subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD). This is a Phase I, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel-group, multi-center, multi-part study. In Part 1, up to 16 subjects with normal renal function will be matched to approximately 8 subjects with moderate renal impairment, and approximately 8 subjects with severe renal impairment and/or subjects with ESRD not on hemodialysis for a total of approximately 32 subjects. In Part 2 (optional), approximately 4 to 8 subjects with normal renal function (if enrolled), approximately 4 to 8 subjects with mild renal impairment, and approximately 4 to 8 subjects with ESRD on hemodialysis will be enrolled for a total of approximately 12 to 24 subjects. The duration from Screening to the Follow-up Visit will be approximately 44 days for Part 1 and approximately 50 days for Part 2.
