Active clinical trials for "Infections"

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and particularly Clostridium difficile-Infection (CDI) are the most common causes of healthcare associated infectious diarrhea. In light of the results obtained in a limited number of randomized clinical trials in subjects with AAD and CDI in comparison with the widespread occurrence of these diseases, it is felt that the addition of a well-controlled clinical trial in a western environment would add value to support the use of a specific probiotic to counteract these diseases.

To compare the efficacy of treatment with a single dose of dalbavancin 1500 mg to treatment with a two dose regimen of dalbavancin (1000 mg on Day 1 followed by 500 mg on Day 8) in participants with known or suspected Gram-positive acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) at 48 -72 hours after initiation of treatment.

Abacavir/Lamivudine + Nevirapine (ABC/3TC + NVP) is a very effective and well tolerable regimen on the long-term. However this regimen comprises 2 pills per day. Abacavir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (ABC/3TC/DTG) offers simplification with a single pill per day with no food constraints, Dolutegravir (DTG) having the advantage over Nevirapine (NVP) of high potency, higher genetic barrier to resistance, with a very good safety profile. The objective of this study is to evaluate the virologic safety (maintenance of virologic suppression) after switching from ABC/3TC + NVP to ABC/3TC/DTG in 50 HIV-1 infected adults with prolonged HIV RNA suppression on ABC/3TC + NVP, as well as clinical and laboratory safety. Because nevirapine is a strong inducer of hepatic enzymes, pharmacocinetic (PK) assessment will be performed in all patients in the first weeks after switch and 24-hours PK in a subset of 10 patients after 5 days of DTG addition to current regimen, before switching to ABC/3TC/DTG.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of three different dosing regimens of brilacidin compared to daptomycin for the treatment of serious skin infections. This study will aid in selecting the appropriate dose of brilacidin for later stage studies.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ ritonavir and dasabuvir in adults with genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cirrhosis.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in RSV-positive adults who have been hospitalized with acute respiratory infectious symptoms. Participants will receive 1 dose of presatovir on Day 1 and followed for 27 days postdose. Nasal swabs will be collected at each study visit (excluding Day 28) and assayed for change in viral load as the primary endpoint.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a treatment regimen of 12 weeks or 8 weeks of simeprevir in combination with sofosbuvir in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infected men and women without cirrhosis who are HCV treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced.

Triple therapy (TT) comprising proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin 1g and clarithromycin 500mg twice daily has long been considered one of the standard treatment for H. pylori infection as initial studies demonstrated success rates of > 90% on per protocol analysis (PP) and > 80% on intention to treat (ITT) analysis. However increasing bacterial resistance, especially to clarithromycin, has been reported and there are concerns that the efficacy of TT has decreased. Sequential therapy (ST) is an alternative first line therapy that consists of 5 days of treatment with a PPI and amoxicillin followed by 5-day treatment with the PPI and clarithromycin and metronidazole. The rationale for this approach is that amoxicillin may weaken the bacterial cell wall in the initial phase of treatment, and prevent the development of drug efflux channels that inhibit clarithromycin from binding to ribosomes and thus help to improve the efficacy of clarithromycin in the second phase of treatment. A recent meta-analysis based on mainly European studies showed that the success rate of ST compared to TT was 92.8 - 96% vs. 76.2 - 78.8%. Concomitant therapy (CT) is another alternative first line treatment that consists of 10 days of PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole. The rationale for using CT as a first line treatment option is to address the possibility of clarithromycin resistance which is increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Currently there are no randomized controlled studies that compared TT with ST in Singapore, although both regimens are being used in routine clinical practice. The hypothesis is that ST is superior to TT as first line treatment for H. pylori infection. The study aim to compare 10-day TT versus 10-day ST versus 10-day CT as first line treatment for H. pylori infection in Singapore.

To investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of POL7080 co-administered with SoC during 10 to 14 days of treatment in VAP patients due to suspected or documented Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
