Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This study is designed to find out whether HIV-positive patients whose immune systems have improved after receiving anti-HIV treatment should take azithromycin to prevent Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease. This study also examines the possibility of putting off MAC prevention treatment in patients who respond well to anti-HIV drug therapy. Azithromycin is approved for the prevention of MAC disease in people with HIV and low CD4 cell counts. However, some people who have taken azithromycin have been found to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria (germs that can grow despite the presence of drugs used to kill them). It is not known whether the risks associated with taking azithromycin outweigh the risk of getting MAC disease.

To evaluate three doses of clarithromycin in children with AIDS and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection who are receiving concurrent antiretroviral therapy. Before more extensive evaluation of this promising drug for treatment of MAC infection in children can be done, it is important to study the pharmacokinetics of this drug in this population, to get information regarding its use in pediatric patients receiving currently available antiretroviral drugs, and to get information on the antimycobacterial activity of this drug.

To determine the manner in which pyrimethamine is metabolized and excreted in patients currently receiving zidovudine (AZT). An important goal of this measurement is to establish the optimal dose of pyrimethamine necessary to prevent the development of toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients or delay the subsequent return of toxoplasmic encephalitis. Encephalitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii has emerged as the most frequent cause of focal central nervous system infection in patients with AIDS. Untreated, the encephalitis is fatal. The best treatment for this disease has not been determined. Presently it is standard practice to administer a combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine. Little is known about the pharmacokinetics of pyrimethamine in patients with AIDS receiving AZT. Furthermore, there are reports that patients already exposed to toxoplasmosis may not have uniform absorption of pyrimethamine.

To compare between SCXL and ACXL for treatment of infectious keratitis

TEMO-CARB is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, multicentre, open-label pragmatic clinical trial to test the non-inferiority of temocillin versus carbapenem as initial intravenous treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing enterobacteriaceae.

Phase 2, randomised, double-blind, 2-cohort study in hospitalised adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis. All study cohorts were randomised in a 2:1 ratio. Treatment duration for each cohort was 7 to 10 days. Patients were not permitted to switch to oral therapy. Cohort 1: 15 patients treated with cefepime 1 g/AAI101 500 mg intravenous (i.v.) infusion over 2 hours once every 8 hours (q8h), and 7 patients treated with cefepime 1 g i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h. Cohort 2: 15 patients treated with cefepime 2 g/AAI101 750 mg i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h, and 8 patients treated with cefepime 2 g i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h.

Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study of cefepime 2 g/AAI101 500 mg combination compared to piperacillin 4 g/tazobactam 500 mg in a population of adult patients with cUTI or AP. The study will be conducted in approximately 115 sites located in the EU, the US, Central, South America and South Africa.

This observational study will determine the burden of RSV disease in at least 2000 healthy infants over 6 years until November 2026. The study will determine the incidence of acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) associated with RSV, of medically attended ARTI and RSV related hospitalisation. Mortality (RSV associated and all-cause) through all RSV seasons and the health care costs, resource use and Health Related Quality of Life will also be determined. The study also aims to determine important risk factors for RSV infection (by severity and healthcare utilisation.

At Rigshospitalet, Denmark, we will examine the immune function of solid organ transplant recipients before and at several timepoints after transplantation as well as the clinical outcome, especially the risk of infections complications and graft rejections. The immune function will be assessed with a complete immunological profiling consisting of immune phenotype (flow cytometry), immune function (TruCulture®) and circulating biomarkers. The study aims to generate prediction models of patients at excess risk of poor clinical outcome, with the ultimate intent to propose personalized immunosuppressive regimes to be tested in future randomized clinical trials.

A total of 50 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer will be enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly divided into the WLS-intervention group and the control group. The two groups of patients were given the most appropriate medication according to the specific conditions of the disease. Patients in the intervention group received additional oral administration of Weileshu, a probiotics product (Tongchuang Biotechnology).
