Active clinical trials for "Infections"

- Parasitic infection is a serious public health problem throughout the world particularly in developing countries including Egypt. The individuals infected with helminths are responding to the parasite infections by a specific Th2 type innate and adaptive immune responses. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic has affected over 169 million people and caused the death of millions worldwide. COVID vaccines with up to 95% of efficacy and effectiveness have been developed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USA. Moreover, it's reported that vaccination against COVID may lead to Cytokine Storm Syndrome in some vaccinated people with release of large amounts of cytokines as (IFNγ, IL-12, TNFα).

The frequency of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae coinfection can vary depending on their individual incidence and prevalence rates.Single-agent therapy with ceftriaxone is the preferred regimen for treatment of gonococcal infections. If an injectable cephalosporin is not available, cefixime is the only oral cephalosporin that can be used for gonococcal therapy. Doxycycline was recommended for presumptive treatment of chlamydia in nonpregnant individuals with gonococcal infection. The study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two regimens in combination with doxycycline with cefixime or ceftriaxone.

Urinary tract infection is among the most common nosocomial and community acquired infections. The Information on prevailing levels of antimicrobial resistance among common pathogens that associated with urinary tract infection is useful in making an appropriate choice of empiric therapy .Resistance to antibiotic treatment in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) is a representative example of the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) has emerged as an important mechanism of resistance in Gram-negative bacteria.

The rationale of the study is to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Emodepside in adults infected with Trichuris trichiura and hookworm.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled comparative study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of XC221 used at 100 mg daily and at 200 mg daily in patients with uncomplicated influenza or other acute viral upper respiratory infections (URIs) for 5 days of treatment. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of ХС221 at 100 mg and at 200 mg in comparison with placebo regarding its effect on the severity and duration of influenza symptoms and symptoms of other viral URIs (fever and other major signs and symptoms). The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of ХС221 at 100 mg and at 200 mg in comparison with placebo in the treatment of influenza ad other viral URIs.

The benefit of the research is to provide information regarding the efficacy and safety of Favipiravir plus the Standard of Care (SoC) for mild-moderate COVID-19 patients to be a reference for policy recommendations regarding the use of Favipiravir as an antiviral drug for the treatment of Covid-19.

The purpose of this open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, pilot study is to assess the safety of high dose intermittent iNO for treatment of NTM infection in CF and non-CF patients.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It is rapidly spreading worldwide, posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Anakinra - an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist - had showed survival benefits in patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and sepsis and was investigated for the use in COVID-19 infection with promising outcomes.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a relevant role in COVID-19, as the virus will enter host's cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2); RAS disequilibrium might also play a key role in the modulation of the inflammatory response that characterizes the lung involvement. Angiotensin-(1-7) is a peptide that could be altered in COVID-19 patient and its supplementation may potentially helpful in this setting.

The treatment of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and COVID-19-associated diarrhoea and liver injury remains challenging. Optimizing treatment approaches for COVID-19 remains an issue. It is assumed, that changes in composition of intestinal microbiota is closely related to a change in the regulation of the immune response in the lungs in patients with COVID-19. These gut microbiota changes in combination with antibiotic prescription during the treatment increase the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and C. difficile infection as well as worse clinical outcomes in these patients. Probiotics are useful for restoring the human gut microbiome and increasing anti-inflammatory response also. Despite the variety of uses of probiotics, there is still insufficient data on the clinical efficacy of including probiotics in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.
