Active clinical trials for "Bacterial Infections"

Primary objective:To study the absolute bioavailability, distribution and elimination parameters of flucloxacillin from two oral formulations of flucloxacillin in healthy male and/or female subjects.

This study will treat pediatric patients who have infections that are due to a specific bacteria (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus)

A Phase IV, multicenter study of hospitalized patients with complicated intra-abdominal infection.

Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic in the treatment of complicated gram positive infections. Approaches to vancomycin therapeutic drug monitioring (TDM) vary. This clinical trial aimed to compare the pharmacoeconomic outcomes between various vancomyicn TDM approaches. Research questions: Which vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) approach is associated with superior economic outcomes? -Objectives: In this proposed multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT), we aim to compare the pharmacoeconomic outcomes of various vancomycin TDM approaches.

Antibiotics are used routinely in postoperative tissue expander based breast reconstruction (TE) and autologous flap (AF) breast reconstruction procedures. Closed suction drains are also used routinely in immediate breast reconstruction to prevent fluid accumulation and seroma formation at the surgical sites. Antibiotics are most often prescribed as a precaution since drains can be a source for infection by creating open channels to outside contaminants. Plastic surgery patients without closed suction drainage devices are usually not placed on prolonged postoperative antibiotics. Current preoperative surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for up to 24 hours only. These recommendations do not take into account the increased risk of indwelling closed suction drains. A recent survey of plastic surgeons, conducted by SBUMC investigators, (IRB# 129415) found that Plastic Surgeons are divided as to extended outpatient administration following TE breast reconstruction. The study plans to prospectively enroll patients who will undergo immediate breast reconstruction with TE or AF based breast reconstruction. Using the above data and the current protocol, the investigators will investigate the optimal antibiotic discontinuation period for these patients. The investigators hypothesize that the use of 24-hour perioperative antibiotics in TE or AF based immediate breast reconstruction with closed suction drainage, does not result in an increased infection rate compared to prolonged postoperative antibiotic administration.

This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, global Phase 3 study of IV to oral TR-701 FA 200 mg once daily for 6 days versus IV to oral Zyvox® (linezolid) 600 mg every 12 hours for 10 days for the treatment of ABSSSI in adults. Patients are to start treatment with at least 2 IV doses and may receive IV therapy for the entire treatment duration. Approximately 100 to 140 sites globally will participate in this study. Patients with an ABSSSI caused by suspected or documented gram positive pathogen(s) at baseline will be randomized 1:1 to study treatment.

This was a non randomised, multi center, italian study performed in burn patients receiving an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) in order to treat an active infection. The aim of the study was to validate a pharmacokinetics model useful to verify if a standard dose regimen of ciprofloxacin, given to patients with a compromised metabolism, is a correct dose or instead is over or under dosed.

The purpose of this study is to determine what are the major types of bacteria that cause newborn infections in the community in rural Bangladesh and whether providing an obstetric and neonatal care package will reduce neonatal deaths by 40%.

To assess the dose proportionality of azithromycin concentrations and toleration when delivered in tablet formulation to HIV-infected patients. The need exists to further assess the antibacterial agent azithromycin at differing doses in an HIV-infected population.

This study aims to obtain plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) data and characterize the PK profile of imipenem (IMI), cilastatin (CIL), and relebactam (REL) following administration of a single intravenous (IV) dose of MK-7655A (a fixed ratio combination of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam), hereafter referred to as IMI/REL.
