Active clinical trials for "Fever"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether mild walter-filtered near infrared hyperthermia produces an additional benefit when applied as an adjunct to standard multimodal rehabilitation compared to standard multimodal rehabilitation only in patients with fibromyalgia.

This study will treat patients who have fever and neutropenia (after cancer chemotherapy) that is possibly due to a specific bacteria (gram positive bacteria).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics of FK463, a novel echinocandin (cell wall-active antifungal lipopeptide), as early empirical therapy for prevention of fungal infections in immunocompromised children. The study is designed as a multicenter open label, sequential dose escalation study of intravenous FK463. Intravenous FK463 will be administered daily as an hour infusion to patients with new onset of fever and neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count less than or equal to 500/mm3) who will be initiated onto broad spectrum empirical antibacterial therapy. The patient population consists of children ages 2 to 17 years of age; two age cohorts will be studied (2-12, 13-17). Dosage levels will be 0.5mg/kg/day (not to exceed 25 mg/day), 1.0 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 50 mg/day), 1.5 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 75 mg/day) and 2.0mg/kg/day (not to exceed 100mg/day). The planned sample size is 64 patients (a maximum of two replacement patients may be added to a given dose level and age cohort, for a total of no more than 10 patients per dose level and age cohort. The study will enroll no more than 80 patients). At each dosage level, a total of 8 patients will be enrolled into each age cohort (2-12, 13-17); a total of 16 patients will be enrolled into each dosage level. The first group of patients will receive FK463 at 0.5 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 25 mg/day). The second group of patients will receive 1.0 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 50mg/day). The third group of patients will receive 1.5 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 75 mg/day). The fourth group of patients will receive 2.0mg/kg/day (not to exceed 100mg/day). Study drug will continue until recovery from neutropenia (ANC post nadir greater than or equal 250/mm3) or until the initiation of conventional deoxycholate amphotericin B or a lipid formulation of amphotericin B for empirical antifungal therapy or for proven fungal infection. Patients may receive FK463 for a maximum duration of 14 days. For any patient who meets institutional criteria to start standard empirical antifungal therapy with conventional deoxycholate amphotericin B or a lipid formulation of amphotericin B (greater than 96 hours on study drug) or who has a proven breakthrough fungal infection, FK463 will be discontinued and conventional deoxycholate amphotericin B or a lipid formulation of amphotericin B will be initiated.

ABG PARAMETERS ARE CHANGED DURING HIPEC, WE TRIED TO FIND COMPARISON BETWEEN NORADRENALINE AND PHENYLEPHRINE IN OPTIMIZING ABG PARAMETERS THAT REFLECTS ORGAN PERFUSIONS ESPECIALLY SERUM LACTATE

Abstract: Background The current practice in Senegal is to use broad-spectrum antibiotics including amoxicillin and/or cotrimoxazole in case of non-malarial fevers. First-line treatment with doxycycline has cured such patients. The investgators aimed to determine the efficacy of a single dose of doxycycline compared to a 5-day amoxicillin course for the treatment of fever.

Yellow Fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the Yellow Fever Virus (YFV), a re-emerging arbovirus transmitted by the same mosquito vector (Aedes aegypti) that transmits Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). YFV is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas of South America and Africa, causing an estimated 200,000 infections and 30,000 deaths annually. It has now become a growing public health problem, rapidly spreading throughout the two (2) continents in a cyclical pattern. With climate change, global travel and urbanisation, which increase the chance for mosquito-borne diseases to spread rapidly, the risk of YFV establishing its foothold in the Asia-Pacific region with periodic epidemic bursts remains a real public health concern. Although there is currently a safe and effective vaccine available on the market, global shortages of supplies have severely hampered any efforts in the prevention and control of YFV outbreaks. To date, no YFV therapy (biologic or small molecule) has advanced to clinical trials. TY014 will be the first therapeutic in the world, specifically targeting YFV, to enter clinical trials. It is anticipated that a monoclonal antibody therapeutic could be administered to infected cases to reduce disease severity within the patient and their contacts. This is a Phase 1, first-in-human TY014, YFV monoclonal antibody (mAb), study to be conducted in two (2) arms: Safety Arm (1A): Healthy adult volunteers Efficacy Arm (1B): Healthy adult volunteers challenged with YF-17D Vaccine Strain 24 hours prior to TY014 dosing TY014 will be administered once through single IV infusion over 30 minutes. Total duration of study participation is estimated at approximately 114 days from the date of screening. The main objectives of this study are to: (a) evaluate the safety of TY014 in healthy adult volunteers, and (b) evaluate the safety of TY014 in YF-17D Vaccine Strain-challenged healthy adult volunteers. Percentage aviremia of YF-17D Vaccine Strain-challenged subjects within 48 hours after IV infusion of TY014 will also be assessed.

Phase I open label, non-randomised dose escalation study on healthy UK volunteers aged from 18 to 50 years to assess the safety and immunogenicity of ChAdOx1 RVF

This is a single dose study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a Fixed Dose Combination Ibuprofen 250 mg/ Acetaminophen 500 mg tablet in healthy male patients with fever. Results for the Fixed Dose Combination product will be compared to the individual components Ibuprofen 250 mg and Acetaminophen 500 mg and also compared to placebo.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of paclitaxel that can be given as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to patients with gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. HIPEC is a system in which heated chemotherapy is delivered directly inside the abdomen during surgery. In this study, paclitaxel is being combined with mitomycin and cisplatin to see if this study drug combination can help to control the disease. This is an investigational study. Mitomycin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel are FDA-approved and commercially available for the treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal cancer. It is investigational to give these drugs by HIPEC. The study doctor can describe how the study drugs and HIPEC are designed to work. Up to 48 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate safety and tolerability of ACZ885 in this extension study. This extension study offered the opportunity for participants who completed Epoch 4 of the preceding CACZ885N2301 (NCT02059291) study to continue to be treated with ACZ885 until approval in Japan of the drug in Periodic Fever Syndromes or until development of ACZ885 in Periodic Fever Syndromes was suspended.
