Active clinical trials for "Gastroenteritis"

The objective of this study is to determine for previously healthy children who present to a Canadian Emergency Department (ED) with acute gastroenteritis (infection or irritation of the digestive tract); if compared with placebo, the administration of a probiotic agent (Lacidofil) will result in a significantly lower proportion of children developing moderate to severe disease over the subsequent 2 weeks and will not be associated with a significantly greater occurrence of side effects.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Benralizumab (Anti-IL5RA) in Subjects With Eosinophilic Gastritis.

This is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects of AK002, given monthly for 4 doses. It is hypothesized that AK002 is more effective than placebo control (alternative hypothesis) in reducing the number of eosinophils per high power field (HPF) in gastric and/or duodenal biopsies before and after receiving AK002 or placebo versus no difference between AK002 and placebo control (null hypothesis).

This is a phase 2 multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of nitazoxanide for the treatment of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients with symptomatic diarrhea due to Norovirus. The study involves a total of 160 Hematopoietic Stem Cell or Solid Organ transplant recipients, equal to or greater than 12 years of age with diagnosis of Norovirus who will be selected and randomly assigned (1:1) to nitazoxanide or placebo group. The study duration is 60 months and subject participation duration is 6 months. Given the safety of prolonged therapy with nitazoxanide, lack of interactions with common post-transplant medications, putative antiviral activity and prolonged duration of viral shedding we are assessing 56 doses of therapy. The longitudinal monitoring phase will provide useful information on the course of host and viral responses in subjects with chronic Norovirus infection with and without treatment. Randomization will be stratified by age group (pediatric (12 through 17 years) vs. adult (greater than or equal to 18 years)), chronicity of Norovirus-associated symptoms (acute (less than 14 days) vs. chronic (greater than or equal to 14 days)) and transplant type (solid organ (SOT)) vs. hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)). Enrolled subjects will participate in 2 phases of the study: Treatment Phase, which will include dosing with the assigned study agent for 28 days. Longitudinal Monitoring Phase which will include telephone call on Days 35, 53, 113, 173. Primary objective is 1) to assess the clinical efficacy of nitazoxanide for the management of acute and chronic Norovirus in transplant recipients.

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is one of the most common diseases among children. Oral rehydration therapy is the key treatment. According to the 2014 guidelines developed by the ESPGHAN probiotics may be considered in the management of children with AGE in addition to rehydration therapy. Considering that evidence on L reuteri remains limited, the investigators aim to assess the efficacy of L reuteri DSM 17938 for the treatment of AGE in children. Children vaccinated and not vaccinated against rotavirus will be evaluated separately. Two independent reports (rotavirus-vaccinated and non-vaccinated children) are planned.

This is a Phase 3, open-label, extension study to assess the long term efficacy and safety of lirentelimab given monthly.

Is intravenous metoclopramid as effective as intravenous ondansetron in the treatment of persistent vomiting in patients with acute gastroenteritis.

Telephone medical advice in general practice is expanding. The Cochrane Database concludes in 2008 that there is not enough data about its use regarding out-of-hours general practitioners workload, emergency department visits, cost, safety and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of telephone medical advice given by a general practitioner in a call centre for patient presenting isolated fever or gastroenteritis symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of zinc in acute watery diarrhea in children. The investigators will evaluate the effect of product versus placebo.

The primary objective is to determine if the administration of a single dose of oral ondansetron (an anti-vomiting medication), compared to placebo, results in a reduction in intravenous (IV) rehydration therapy in children presenting for emergency department care with some dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea in Pakistan. SOME Dehydration is defined as 2 or more of the following signs and symptoms: Restlessness, irritability Sunken Eyes Drinks eagerly, thirsty Skin pinch goes back slowly
