Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in women. 50% of women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime with an annual prevalence of 0.5-0.7%. An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a probiotic strains on the urinary tract microbiota in participants with recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). The study duration will be 6 and a half months, including 6 months product intake. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three study groups: control group with placebo administration, probiotic administration group (1 dose) and probiotic administration group (2 doses).

This trial will be initiated to explore whether RBX2660 (REBYOTA®) could be suitable for administration by the practice of colonoscopy. More specifically, the purpose of this trial is to explore the safety and clinical effectiveness of RBX2660 when delivered by colonoscopy to adults with rCDI. The experience of physicians will be documented through a physician-experience questionnaire to explore the usability of RBX2660 in clinical practice for colonoscopic administration. Furthermore, to explore the patient-experience of RBX2660 treatment, each trial participant will be offered to undergo a structured interview.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CABENUVA (Long-acting Cabotegravir Plus Long-acting Rilpivirine) in patients with HIV infection and severe renal impairment. This study is considered research and is voluntary.

Appropriately, half of the global population is infected with H. pylori, and it is now recognized that it causes at least 95% of all gastric cancers. Currently, the main challenge in the field of H. pylori infection is the rapidly increasing antibiotic resistance worldwide, which is causing a decline in the effectiveness of currently available eradication regimens. The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of different H. pylori vonoprazan-based regimens compared to the commonly used standard triple therapy composed of Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin, and Proton pump inhibitor to eradicate H. pylori infection in treatment-naive patients through the determination of each regimen eradication rate and reported safety profile

The prevalence of H. pylori antibiotic resistance has reached an alarming level worldwide. Antibiotic stewardship programs should be urgently developed and implemented. However, H. pylori antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is rarely offered, making local resistance patterns not easily available. Guideline-recommended empiric therapies (GR-ET) may no longer reliably achieve high cure rate in the era of increasing antibiotic resistance. susceptibility-guided tailored therapy (SG-TT) may be a good choice to solve this problem. The aims of this study are: to compare the efficacy of SG-TT with GR-ET as rescue regimens for H. pylori eradication; to compare the patient adherence and adverse effects of these treatment regimens; to investigate factors that may influence H. pylori eradication by these treatment regimens.

This study is a phase II, multicenter, randomized, blind, placebo-controlled to evaluate the safety, tolerance, efficacy of ASC22 injection in combination with anti-retroviral therapy to treat subjects living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

In this study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial design is used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of 9MW1411 injection in patients with ABSSSI caused by S. aureus. The Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of 9MW1411 injection for this placebo-controlled study is comprehensively selected based on the results of Phase I clinical trials and preclinical PK/PD analysis. Approximately 90 subjects with ABSSSI caused by S. aureus are planned to be enrolled, and the infection type and presence or absence of single S. aureus infection will be used as randomization stratification factors for all randomized subjects. They are randomized in a 1: 1: 1 ratio.

Total hip replacement is the most successful treatment modern healthcare can offer patients to regain quality of life. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most common and devastating complication after total hip replacement (THR). Between 0.5 to 2% of primary THR (first time hip replacement), and 8-10% of revision THR (replacement of a hip prosthesis) will become infected. The introduction of local antibiotics blended into bone cement has led to a reduction in postoperative infection in primary THR by half. Unfortunately, in revision THR antibiotic impregnated bone cement in relevant quantities can seldomly be used. The number of revision surgeries of the hip is projected to increase dramatically. Therefore, the need for a feasible infection prophylaxis applicable for revision THR is urgent. Impacted morselized bone allograft is often used in revision THR to fill bone defects. Morselized allograft has been used as a carrier for local antibiotic treatment in multiple pilot studies and appears to be an attractive and effective treatment option, both for already infected joints and as a prophylactic measure in high-risk patients (e.g. THR revision surgeries). Nonetheless, a pivotal trial to support its use in revision THR is lacking. The aim of this pragmatic randomized controlled double blinded drug trial is to investigate whether antibiotic impregnated bone graft (AIBG) decreases the risk of infection after revision hip arthroplasty compared to controls treated with placebo impregnated bone graft. Patients scheduled for elective revision THR will be randomized to receive AIBG or a placebo impregnated bone graft. The primary outcome variable will be the number of re-operations due to infections 2 years postoperative.

To evaluate if the combination of pivmecillinam and clavulanic acid (PAC) is non-inferior to ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or ertapenem as step down oral therapy in patients with febrile UTI caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales (EPE).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a training program in patients that have suffered a COVID infection
