Active clinical trials for "Community-Acquired Infections"

This is an observational study to evaluate the utility of the latest recommendation to define severity of infection for sepsis patients (sepsis-3), and to identify the aetiology and factors associated with outcome of community-acquired sepsis in Northeast Thailand. Potential study participants will be adult patients who are presented at the hospital with community-acquired sepsis. Clinical specimens (including blood, urine, sputum, throat swabs and pus or wound swab) will be collected from each participant on admission for culture, PCR and serological tests, and other laboratory tests. Participants' treatment will be closely monitored during the duration of their hospital stay. Blood will be again collected at 72 hours after admission. Participants will be contacted at 28 days after admission to determine clinical outcome by phone interview with standardized script.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared to cefepime in children hospitalized with pneumonia.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of CPAP application by a helmet and O2 administration by a Venturi mask in terms of gas exchanges improvement in patients with acute respiratory failure due to community-acquired pneumonia.

This is a prospective multi-center study. Bacterial isolates from hospitalized patients with CA-HRE will be compared to those from hospitalized patients with healthcare-associated HRE (HA-HRE). In addition, community spread of CRE will be determined.

This study will treat patients who have a community-acquired pneumonia that is due to a specific bacteria (S. pneumoniae)

To compare the efficacy and safety of IV tigecycline to IV levofloxacin in the treatment of subjects with CAP requiring hospitalization.

We developed a computerized decision support system for prescription of antibiotics to inpatients. The purpose of the study is to assess the performance of the system in different wards, in three different hospitals, in three countries.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of omadacycline as compared to moxifloxacin in the treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

To purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) tigecycline in hospitalized subjects of Japanese descent with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

This is a two-part study. Part A is a three-period study in approximately 24 healthy male Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Period 1 and Period 2 will be an open label study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending intravenous doses of GSK2251052. Period 3 is a single blind, placebo controlled, repeat fixed dose design to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple intravenous doses of GSK2251052 for 12 days. The selection of the repeat IV dose will be based on the results from Periods 1 and 2. Japanese subjects will be stratified based on their metabolic genotype, polymorphic or wild-type for ADH and ALDH. Caucasian subjects are not anticipated to have these enzyme polymorphisms and therefore will not be stratified. Part B is a two cohort, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-rising, repeat dose study in approximately 24 healthy male and female subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of supratherapeutic IV doses of GSK2251052 for 10 days. Cohort 1 subjects will be randomized to receive 2250 mg of GSK2251052 or placebo and Cohort 2 subjects will be randomized to receive 3000 mg GSK2251052 or placebo. The decision to conduct Cohort 2 of Part B will be based on the available toxicology cover results from ongoing preclinical toxicity studies.
