Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of Antaitavir Hasophate in Combination With Yiqibuvir in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection

Pilot non comparative study assessing the clinical control of infection of DAIR + SAT +NaCl and DAIR + SAT + Phages anti-Staphylococcus aureus in patients with Staphylococcus aureus Prosthetic Joint Infection with an indication of DAIR + SAT.

The objective of this study is to determine if early high volume intravenous fluid administration (hyperhydration) may be effective in mitigating or preventing complications of shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection in children and adolescents when compared with traditional approaches (conservative fluid management).

Data regarding optimal treatment for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infection are lacking. Observational studies show conflicting results when comparing treatment with combination beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor and carbapenems. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of definitive treatment with meropenem vs. piperacillin-tazobactam on the outcome of patients with bacteremia due to cephalosporin-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. The investigators hypothesize that piperacillin-tazobactam is non-inferior to meropenem.

This is an open-label, randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Qingre Huashi Granules combined the modified dual therapy (or called high dose dual therapy) for Helicobacter pylori infection specifically in geriatric patients, compared with the bismuth containing quadruple therapy. A total of 160 eligible patients will be enrolled in 4 hospitals. The eradication rate, symptoms, and the adverse events will be recorded and analyzed.

This is a first in human clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RQ-01. Adult patients who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus, have mild symptom(s) of COVID-19 disease, and who are at low risk for developing moderate or severe COVID-19 disease are welcome to participate. The main questions this study aims to answer are: What is the safety profile of RQ-01? What is the reduction in SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) shedding after administration of RQ-01? How effective is RQ-01 versus placebo in reducing COVID-19 symptoms? After providing informed consent, subjects will be randomized to RQ-01 (high or low dose) or placebo and will be dosed for 3 consecutive days. Throughout the duration of the trial, subjects will participate in the following activities: perform rapid antigen and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for COVID-19, answer questions about their medical history and medications, answer questions about their COVID-19 history and symptoms, conduct a physical exam, have their vitals measured, and have bloodwork done.

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of EBV-specific T-cell lines to treat patients suffering from high EBV viral titers not responding to standard of care therapies and to treat EBV-related lymphoma. The study will recruit 6 patients to receive autologous T cells or a T cell line derived from the patient's allogeneic donor (in the case of stem cell transplant recipients), and 6 patients to receive a T-cell line prepared from a matched or partially matched related donor.

This phase II trial studies how well donor cytotoxic T lymphocytes work in treating patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are made from donated blood cells that are grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill viruses that can cause infections in transplant patients and may be an effective treatment in patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a 5-day treatment with orally administered prednisone provides patient-relevant benefits by improving the cough-related QoL of patients with post-infectious cough triggered by an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) and seeking care in adult primary care practices. The study aims to describe an efficacy and safety profile for a 5-day prednisone treatment compared to a 5-day course of placebo.

Early treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFI) may prevent undue mortality in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. We aim to study the impact of early empiric treatment (based on clinical suspicion) of IFI as compared to pre-emptive treatment (based on biomarkers and culture positivity) on the outcomes in ACLF patients with suspected IFI in a randomized trial. The ACLF patients with clinically suspected IFI would be randomly allocated to empiric treatment or pre-emptive treatment group and followed up clinically to assess the impact on survival, clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness and safety of such an approach. The protocol is designed to cut- down unnecessary usage and to curtail the duration of antifungals use in ICUs based on biomarkers/culture-driven stoppage rules. The results will fuel further studies on formal cost-effective analysis and antimicrobial stewardship protocols in ACLF patients.
