Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Ceftaroline Fosamil for ABSSSI Documented or at Risk of MRSA

Skin DiseasesInfectious1 more

The proposed study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, multi-center trial of ceftaroline versus vancomycin for the treatment of ABSSSI in patients documented or at risk for MRSA. Patients admitted to the Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford Hospital, or St. John Medical Center in Detroit Michigan with a documented ABSSSI between April 2012 and November 2015 will be evaluated for inclusion. Patients must present with at least 3 of the following local signs/symptoms: pain, tenderness, swelling erythema, warmth, drainage/discharge, induration, and lymph node swelling/tenderness. Patients will be randomized 1:1 ceftaroline or vancomycin with optional anaerobic and/or Gram-negative coverage. The assignment of study drug will follow a randomized list that was previously generated via a computerized random mix block generator (nQuery Advisor® 7.0) and available at each of the study sites. Patients will be randomized to ceftaroline intravenously at 600 mg infused over 1 hour every 12 hours for patients with normal renal function. Patients randomized to vancomycin will receive the standard 15 mg/kg dose based on total body weight infused over 1 hour q 12 hour, dose and interval adjusted based on creatinine clearance and via institution-specific pharmacy protocol to target serum trough concentrations of 10-20 mg/L within the first 72 hours. Outcomes measured in the Clinically Evaluable patient population include day two or three size reduction (percentage) and clinical response at end of therapy or discharge.

Pharmacological Comparison of Continuous and Intermittent Infusions of Cloxacillin

InfectionMethicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus Infection1 more

Our objective is to establish pharmacological equivalence of intermittent and continuous infusion of cloxacillin during methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bone and joint infections (BJI). Twelve patients suffering MSSA BJI will receive both administration modalities and serum concentrations of cloxacillin will be determined after 3 days of II and 3 days of continuous infusion in a prospective, randomized, open-label, monocentric crossover study design.

A Comparison of Fidaxomicin and Vancomycin in Patients With CDI Receiving Antibiotics for Concurrent...

Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI)

Administration of concomitant antibiotics (CA) is a known risk factor for treatment failure in the treatment of CDI, as well as for recurrence of CDI. Recent data suggested that among patients receiving CA, fidaxomicin is superior to vancomycin. While these data are encouraging, many clinicians remain unclear on how to apply these data to patient care. Additionally, patients were excluded from the trials presented to the FDA if it was expected that they would require ≥ 7 days of CA. Therefore, the clinical question still remains of how to apply these data to the real world patient who requires a long course of CA and develops CDI while on therapy. We therefore propose an open label, comparative and prospective study of fidaxomicin 200 mg twice daily vs oral vancomycin 125 mg four times daily for the treatment of CDI among patients who are receiving a long course of CA. We hypothesize that fidaxomicin will be superior to vancomycin with respect to clinical cure for patients with CDI.

Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the proportion of subjects achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) in adults with genotype 1 (GT1) chronic HCV infection, who received treatment with 3 direct-acting antiviral agents (3-DAAs; ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir) with or without ribavirin.

Effectiveness of Rifabutin in the Treatment of Mycobacterium Avium Complex

Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections

Treatment of adults with chronic Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex lung infections who have failed or are intolerant of rifampin. Rifabutin may be a reasonable alternative agent in patients who fail rifampin or or intolerant of rifampin.

Clostridium Difficile Infection Recurrence

This is a research study to collect information from people that have Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and are treated with a standard antibiotic treatment in which the antibiotic dose is gradually reduced over 6 weeks and bezlotoxumab (BEZLO), an approved monoclonal antibody targeting C. difficile toxin, which has shown to reduce CID recurrence when used in combination with standard antibiotic treatment.

Rifaximin for Infection Prophylaxis in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Microbial Colonization

Primary purpose of the study is to see if rifaximin can improve the balance of bacteria within the gut, which has been shown to improve transplant outcomes. It will also assess whether rifaximin can reduce the risk of infection in blood/marrow transplant (BMT).
