Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This is a phase I, single-site, study to evaluate the effects of VOR and HIV-1 Antigen Expanded Specific T Cell Therapy (HXTC) on persistent HIV-1 Infection in HIV-infected individuals suppressed on ART. Twelve participants with durable viral suppression will be enrolled and will complete the study. All participants will receive the same treatment and if eligible, will be dosed with HXTC and VOR. Participants will continue their baseline ART regimen throughout the study.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride Tablets, USP 200 mg as a short term analgesic treatment for the primary symptoms of pain or burning when passing urine associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI)

To evaluate the antiretroviral activity and safety of 200 mg BID and 300 mg BID doses of MPC-4326 administered as monotherapy for 14 days to HIV-1 positive patients. Patients with an initial treatment response will have the option to continue MPC-4326 in combination with an Optimized Backround Regimen for a maximum of 72 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ANA598 when administered with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (Standard of Care [SOC]) compared to placebo + SOC.

Chlamydia is a common infection among youth and can be given from one person to another during sex. Many people who have chlamydia have no signs of infection at all, but can pass the infection to anyone they have sex with. If not treated, chlamydia can lead to serious health problems. This study will look at how well medicines given for chlamydia infection work. The study requires 306 evaluable subjects, chlamydia-positive, males and non-pregnant females, ages 12-21, living in long-term, gender-segregated youth correctional facilities. Participants will be assigned to receive either doxycycline (2 times per day, by mouth, for 7 days) or azithromycin (1 single dose by mouth). Study procedures will include collection of at least 3 urine samples to test for chlamydia. Study visits will occur during initial enrollment in the study, day 28 after starting treatment, and day 67. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 67 days.

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of boceprevir (SCH 503034) 800 mg three times a day (TID) orally (PO) in combination with peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIFN-2b) 1.5 µg/kg weekly (QW) subcutaneously (SC) plus weight-based dosing (WBD) of ribavirin (RBV) (600 mg/day to 1400 mg/day) PO to therapy with PegIFN-2b + RBV alone in adult participants coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and previously untreated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1. Boceprevir is a potent, orally administered, novel serine protease inhibitor, specifically designed to inhibit the HCV nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) protease and, thereby, inhibit viral replication in HCV-infected host cells. The mechanism of inhibition represents a new mechanism of action compared to both interferon alfa and ribavirin. Based on previous experience with PegIFN-2b and RBV in combination with boceprevir in the HCV-monoinfected population, this combination treatment is expected to provide significant benefit to the HIV/HCV coinfected population. Given the high unmet medical need of these participants and the benefit of the addition of boceprevir to PegIFN-2b/RBV, it is important to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of boceprevir in combination with PegIFN-2b/RBV in participants coinfected with HIV/HCV. This is a randomized, multi-center trial, double-blinded for boceprevir or placebo in combination with open-label PegIFN-2b/RBV in participants coinfected with HIV and previously untreated chronic HCV (genotype 1), to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP). This trial consists of two arms, one control arm (Arm 1) and one experimental arm (Arm 2). Participants in the control arm (Arm 1) may receive boceprevir/PegIFN-2b/RBV via a crossover arm.

There are numerous indications for a relation between low serum levels of 25(OH)D and blood pressure, lipid levels, frequency of infections and tendency towards depression. Whether it is a causal relationship it is not known, and can best be studied with a vitamin D intervention. The investigators hypothesis is that supplementation with a high dose vitamin D (40.000 IU per week) will have a beneficial effect on these parameters.

This study investigated the efficacy of inhaled TOBI treatment for early infections of P. aeruginosa in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ertapenem sodium (Invanz) in treatment of complicated urinary tract infections with respect to the proportion of patients with a favorable microbiological response at 5-9 days post therapy.

This study will assess short term safety, antiviral activity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IDX184 in combination with Peg-interferon (Peg-IFN)/Ribavirin (RBV) in participants with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1 infection. These data will guide dose selection for future, longer term studies.
