Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) plus ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naive adults with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Infections of the blood are extremely serious and require intravenous antibiotic treatment. When the infection results from antibiotic resistant bacteria, the choice of antibiotic is an extremely important decision. Some types of bacteria produce enzymes that may inactivate essential antibiotics, related to penicillin, called 'beta-lactams'. Furthermore high level production of these enzymes can occur during therapy and lead to clinical failure, even when an antibiotic appears effective by laboratory testing. However, this risk of this occurring in clinical practice has only been well described in a limited range of antibiotic classes in a type of bacteria called Enterobacter. There is currently uncertainty as to whether a commonly used, and highly effective antibiotic, called piperacillin-tazobactam is subject to the same risk of resistance developing while on treatment. Infections caused by Enterobacter (and other bacteria with similar resistance mechanisms) are often treated with an alternative drug called meropenem (a carbapenem antibiotic), which is effective but has an extremely broad-spectrum of activity. Excessive use of carbapenems is driving further resistance to this antibiotic class - which represent our 'lastline' of antibiotic defence. As such, we need studies to help us see whether alternatives to meropenem are an effective and safe choice. No study has ever directly tested whether these two antibiotics have the same effectiveness for this type of infection. The purpose of this study is to randomly assign patients with blood infection caused by Enterobacter or related bacteria to either meropenem or piperacillin/tazobactam in order to test whether these antibiotics have similar effectiveness.

This was a randomized, multicenter, multinational, double-blind study comparing the efficacy and safety of plazomicin compared with meropenem followed by optional oral (PO) therapy in the treatment of cUTI, including AP, in adults.

A combined Phase Ib and IIa randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of VM-1500 in healthy subjects and in patients with HIV-1 infection that are antiretroviral therapy naïve.

Up to now, there is few randomized, large scale study prospectively and simultaneously comparing the efficacy, adverse effects and patient adherence of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) as 1st-line regimens for H. pylori eradication. The aims of this study are: to compare the efficacy of HDDT, and BQT as 1st-line regimen in H. pylori eradication; to compare the patient adherence and adverse effects of these treatment regimens; to investigate factors that may influence H. pylori eradication by these treatment regimens.

The purpose of this study is to provide data documenting the efficacy of daptomycin in elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years with complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections.

The purpose of this study is to understand the utilization patterns of doripenem in Asia Pacific, including the profile of the patients treated with carbapenems.

On the basis of monotherapy for intra-abdominal infection, the investigators are conducting this study to identify the difference of drug efficacy between ampicillin/sulbactam and moxifloxacin.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of telaprevir, peginterferon alfa-2a, and ribavirin is safe and effective in treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in subjects who are infected with both HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral NXL103 vs. established treatment of acute bacterial infection in adults.
