Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The primary objective of the study is to assess tolerability and adherence to treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid

This is a proof-of-concept double-blind cluster randomized (1:1) parallel study. The randomization unit is healthy volunteers who have no symptoms of COVID-19 at the start of the study and have not been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) virus in the past 90 days. The selected individuals are randomly grouped in either the experimental group (individuals using the BioBlock® antiviral nasal spray immediately after waking up in the morning and thereafter once every 4 hours and so for 28 days) or the control group (placebo is used by individuals immediately after waking up in the morning and thereafter once every 4 hours and so for 28 days).

This digital couples-based HIV/STI prevention intervention project will determine preliminary efficacy to improve uptake of evidence-based strategies and a tailored prevention plan among cisgender male couples who are in a relationship (defined as greater than 3 months or more).

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri 3613 for the decrease or prevent UTI occurrence in women ages 18-65 with a confirmed medical history of recurrent uncomplicated UTIs compared to a Placebo (the study medication without the probiotic)

The primary objective of this study is to determine the magnitude and breadth of the serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil-9) in adults with well-controlled HIV infection. The secondary objective of the study is to observe short term clinical outcomes of prevalent HPV genotype-specific anogenital infections in adults living with HIV who complete the three-dose Gardasil-9 vaccine series. The clinical hypothesis is that adults with virologically controlled HIV mount a serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine that is comparable to HIV negative counterparts. We also postulate that HPV vaccination will provide short-term clinical benefit against HPV infections and disease associated with vaccine genotypes.

Ankle fractures are one of the most common injuries in traumatology. It is the fourth most common fracture in general population after hip, wrist, and hand fractures. These injuries are the second cause of hospitalization due to fractures. Surgical site infections can be divided according to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) in superficial surgical site infections whose are defined as any infection that happens within the next 30 days after the procedure, they involve only the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the incision, and the patient presents at least one of the following: purulent drainage of the superficial incision, microorganisms isolation from an aseptically obtained culture of body fluid or tissue or the pain existence, tenderness or local inflammation at the superficial incision site despite negative cultures. Also, a diagnosis made by the surgeon or attending medic.

The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the prevention of invasive fungal diseases when compared to the standard antimicrobial regimen.

ROSSINI 2 is a phase III, multi-arm, multi-stage (MAMS) pragmatic, blinded (patient and outcome assessor), multicentre, randomised controlled trial (RCT) with an internal pilot, to evaluate the use of several in-theatre interventions, used alone or in combination, to reduce SSI rates in patients undergoing surgery.

The primary aim of this open-label, randomized control trial is to compare the immunogenicity at week 28 after 20µg HBV vaccine (at week 0, 4, 24) versus 40µg HBV vaccine (40-µg at week 0, 4, 24 week) among HIV-positive patients or HIV-negative MSM who were born in Taiwan after July 1986 and tested negative for all HBV serological markers. The secondary aims are to assess the safety of double-dose HBV vaccination, the proportions of high-level responders (anti-HBs antibody >100 mIU/ml) at weeks 28 and 48, the serological responses at week 48, and incident HBV infection (indicated by appearance of anti-HBc and/or HBsAg) at week 48.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common serious bacterial infection among infants. Suprapubic aspiration and bladder catheterization are considered as the gold standard by the American Academy of Pediatrics for the diagnosis, yet it is painful and invasive. In contrast, the bladder stimulation technique has been shown to be a quick and non-invasive approach to collect urine in young infants. Actually, the investigators don't have data on bacterial contamination rates for clean-catch midstream urine collections using this technique
