Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of voxilaprevir (VOX) plus sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) ± ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral effect of repeated oral dosing of JNJ 53718678 compared to placebo in healthy adult participants infected through inoculation with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-A Memphis 37b virus.

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.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks and ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) for 12 weeks, and to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of SOF and its metabolites and LDV in participants with genotype (GT) 1, 3, or 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have chronic renal insufficiency (impaired kidney function).

This study will investigate the treatment of urinary tract infection in men. Specifically, the investigators are looking to see if shorter duration of antibiotics (7 days) is any worse than longer duration of antibiotics (14 days). The investigators will also study whether longer treatment leads to an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria in the large intestine (colon), or an increase in drug side effects.

The aim of this study is to see the efficacy and safety of BAY1192631 in Japanese patients with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and SSTI-related bacteremia).

The objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single-ascending oral dose of UV-4B in healthy subjects and to determine pharmacokinetic parameters describing absorption and elimination following a single dose of UV-4B in healthy subjects.

Lower limb amputations are performed usually as a last resort in patients with acute and chronic limb ischaemia (CLI) caused by vascular disease, poorly controlled diabetes or, infection. In the period 2003-2008 there were approximately 5,000 amputations per year in the UK. The Centre for Disease Control defines a Surgical Site Infection (SSI) as an infection within 30 days of an operation or up to one year if an implant is left in place and the infection is related to an operative procedure. Figures from the Surgical Site Infection Surveillance reported that the highest rate of surgical site infection was reported in association with lower limb amputation at 13.1%. There is a clear under-representation and the infection rate within our institution is approximately 25% which reflects the infection rate reported in a recent trial by Sadat et al (22.5%) Prevention of surgical site infections is of paramount importance to patients, healthcare providers and policy-makers, as they impact on morbidity and mortality and have significant time and cost implications. Currently there is NO CONSENSUS as to what the best practice is towards antibiotic administration in such patients. From a questionnaire-based audit we performed including vascular departments across the entire country, practice varies in both course duration (single dose → 5 days antibiotic course) as well as choice of antibiotics. The guideline at our institution suggests the 5-day course of antibiotic prophylaxis. The course duration varies depending on the clinical picture as well as microbiology results and recommendations. There are no randomised control trials that have investigated this aspect of patient care. We have set up one such trial and through it, we are looking to establish a standard practice which will hopefully be as beneficial as possible to the patient but also cost-effective for NHS.

Phase I, open-label, sequential-cohort, ascending multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of PDS0101 in female subjects with high-risk HPV infection and biopsy-proven CIN1. The study will include 3 cohorts of 3 to 6 subjects each based on a modified "3 + 3" dose-escalation study design. The study will be initiated with Cohort 1 and progress through Cohort 3, with each subsequent cohort receiving a higher dose of PDS0101. Successive cohorts will receive a constant dose of HPV-16 E6 and E7 peptides. All subjects will receive 3 vaccinations SC given approximately 21 days apart. Dosing and dose escalation will be based on safety evaluation for determination of potential dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

GSK2140944 belongs to a novel structural class of antibiotics - Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitors (BTI). This is a Phase II, randomized, two-part, multicenter study designed to select the optimal dose by further characterizing the safety, tolerability and PK of GSK 2140944 and by evaluating efficacy in subjects requiring in-patient medical care to treat their suspected or confirmed Gram-positive acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). The selected dose will be used in future studies.
