Active clinical trials for "Infections"

Apricitabine is a new NRTI which is active against drug-resistant HIV. NRTIs are often included as part of patients' treatment, but many HIV-infected patients develop resistance to commonly used NRTIs such as lamivudine (3TC) and emtricitabine (FTC). This study will examine whether including apricitabine as part of patients' treatment is more effective than including lamivudine,when patients change treatment because of drug resistance.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of daptomycin compared to vancomycin or teicoplanin for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections

This study will assess the efficacy of everolimus as an inhibitor of fibrosis progression in liver transplant patients who have a recurrence of hepatitis C viral infection in the transplant

The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy of 851B gel over a range of concentrations and dosing regimens on high-risk cervical human papillomavirus infection in women.

The objective of the study was to compare the compliance and the side effects of a short course to treatment of latent tuberculosis infection during 3 months(isoniazid plus rifampin)group I, with the standard course for 6 months(isoniazid)group II .Prospective, comparative, randomized and open trial of patients with positive TST and the suitable criteria for treatment, in accordance with the guidelines of the CDC, excluding HIV infection. 105 patients were included. In Conclusion, a short course with isoniazid plus rifampin during 3 months shown better compliance with a lower percentage of abandonment that the course 6H. Tolerance is similar in the two courses.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of inhaled Interferon gamma-1b (IFN-g 1b), when administered for 48 weeks and in combination with oral antibiotics which may be administered for up to 72 weeks for the treatment of a lung infection caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium avium complex . FDA has not approved Interferon gamma-1b for use in patients with MAC infection of the lungs, which is the purpose of this study.Interferon gamma-1b and similar proteins play important roles in establishing and maintaining protective immune responses against a variety of microorganisms.

This study is a 96-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GW873140 in combination with Kaletra in HIV infected, untreated subjects.

Primary Objective: Explore the efficacy of teicoplanin (100-200 mg administered orally twice a day for 7 to 14 days) in patients with Clostridium difficile infection-associated diarrhea and colitis Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety of teicoplanin in patients with Clostridium difficile infection-associated diarrhea and colitis

Hyper-inflammation, caused by a cytokine storm resulting from an exaggerated response of the immune system in the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is considered to represent one of the most important negative prognostic factors in patients infected with sSARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to investigate new treatment options to reduce the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This is intended to address the most urgent need to preserve the access to intensive care unit support to the lowest possible number of patients and may potentially reduce mortality.

Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) has caused an international outbreak of respiratory illness described as COVID-19. Individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease develop a more severe illness and have higher rates of death. Because of the potential interaction between RAS blockers and SARS-CoV-2 mechanism of infection, there are ongoing scientific discussions on whether they should be stopped or continued in patients with COVID-19. It is crucial to determine whether RAS blockers should be discontinued or not in patients with COVID-19.
