Active clinical trials for "Infections"

Cough is a frequent symptom in children and infants and is one of the most common reasons parents visit a healthcare provider for their child. The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that over-the-counter cough and cold medicines including antihistamines, decongestants, anti-tussives, and expectorants should not be administered to children younger than 2 years of age due not only to lack of proven efficacy, but also because of important safety concerns. A product that has been used in alternative medicine for cough is maple syrup. Although no studies have formally evaluated the use of maple syrup for nocturnal cough associated with URI, the demulcent effect of maple syrup may provide some relief from cough in children. A novel formulation of pasteurized maple cough syrup, when compared to placebo, should provide superior relief on nocturnal cough and the sleep difficulty associated with URI in children under 12 months and sleep difficulty of their parent/caregiver.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared with meropenem in children hospitalized with complicated intra-abdominal infections.

This is a multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded, comparator-controlled study. Participants were to be randomized (1:1) to daptomycin or comparator, stratified by degree of renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 - 50 milliliters per minute [mL/min] [moderate impairment] and <30 mL/min [severe impairment]) and by type of infection (bacteremia and complicated skin and skin structure infections [cSSSI]) to create 4 cohorts defined as follows: Cohort 1: Bacteremia and CLcr <30 mL/min Cohort 2: Bacteremia and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min Cohort 3: cSSSI and CLcr <30 mL/min Cohort 4: cSSSI and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min Participants will be treated and evaluated for safety and microbiological and clinical efficacy in accordance with their type of infection and degree of renal impairment. Peak and trough samples will be collected to assess exposure to daptomycin for participants on Day 1 and following the 5th dose.

This study aims to evaluate whether an investigational monoclonal antibody, CT-011, is safe to give and if it helps patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Monoclonal antibodies are a type of drug that is typically given by infusion into a vein (intravenously). Results of this trial will help doctors obtain additional information with regard to the safety and efficacy of CT-011 as a potential treatment for HCV.

In this study, adult Indonesian subjects with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfected with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) will be given peginterferon alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy. The efficacy rate (sustained virologic response, end of treatment virologic response, and sustained biochemical response), the subject morbidity rate as caused by other opportunistic infection (eg, bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other bacterial infection), and the safety and tolerability of this combination therapy will be examined.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ceftobiprole versus a comparator in patients with fever and neutropenia

The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antiviral activity of multiple doses of ACH-0137171 in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

The purpose of this research study is to see if HIV that persists despite current antiviral therapy can be targeted by new treatments. We will see if adding Raltegravir (MK-0518) and Valproic acid (VPA) to current ART can decrease the amount of latent HIV.

This study will test a drug called MGAWN1 for the treatment of West Nile infections.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK6186 and the change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA after seven consecutive days of dosing.
