Active clinical trials for "Infections"

To Evaluate the Effects of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Best Available Therapy in patients with complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections.

ING111762 is a 48 week, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter, parallel group, non-inferiority study. The study will be conducted in at least 688 HIV-1 infected antiretroviral experienced, integrase-naïve subjects. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive GSK1349572 50 mg once daily or raltegravir (RAL) 400 mg twice daily, each added to an investigator selected background regimen consisting of at least one fully active agent plus no more than one second single agent which may or may not be active. Antiviral activity, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and development of viral resistance will be evaluated.

This study will investigate whether: 1) treatment with MK-3415A in addition to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy will decrease Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurrence as compared to treatment with MK-6072 or MK-3415, 2) treatment with MK-3415A, MK-6072, or MK-3415, in addition to SOC antibiotic therapy will decrease CDI recurrence as compared to placebo, and 3) MK-3415A, MK-6072, and MK-3415 will be generally well tolerated in participants receiving SOC therapy for CDI as compared to placebo.

The study investigates the safety and efficacy of PMX-30063 in patients treated for acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infection (ABSSSI).

The purpose of this study is to assess if triclosan-coated sutures reduces wound infections after saphenous vein harvesting in CABG patients. Secondary objectives are the effect triclosan-coated sutures on sternal wound infections and a cost analysis.

This study is to assess the safety and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF) 400 mg with and without ribavirin (RBV) and/or with and without pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) in subjects with genotype 1, 2 or 3 hepatitis C (HCV) infection.

The purpose of this Phase 3 trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oritavancin in ABSSSIs, including those caused by MRSA and to evaluate the potential economic benefit of oritavancin administered as a single 1200 mg IV dose.

This was a real-world, prospective, open-label, multicenter study in which participants were randomized (1:1) to receive intravenous (IV) vancomycin or IV daptomycin. The purpose of this study is to compare infection-related hospital length of stay, along with a number of participant-reported outcomes, between participants with complicated skin and soft tissue infection treated with daptomycin and vancomycin.

The purpose of this study is to study the effects of valacyclovir on patients who have hepatitis C and antibodies to herpes simplex type-2. Herpes simplex type 2 is a virus which causes genital herpes. Some persons with genital herpes have sores in their private areas but most persons do not have any symptoms at all. Valacyclovir is a medication which is commonly used to treat or prevent outbreaks of genital herpes. This medication is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat genital herpes. Valacyclovir has not been approved to treat chronic hepatitis C. The study will take 16 weeks. Participants will be assigned to take either the study drug, valacyclovir, or a sugar pill that looks exactly like valacyclovir. The researchers and the persons participating will not know which medication they are receiving. Study visits will occur every two weeks and will take approximately 3-45 minutes. All study visits will occur at the G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center.

Skin infections may complicate the treatment of atopic dermatitis.The use of topical ointments has become very important to avoid the use of oral antibiotics. There is little supporting literature regarding the use of topical antibiotics in secondarily infected atopic dermatitis. This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of Altabax ointment use in treating secondarily infected atopic dermatitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.
