Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This is a study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of 2 heterologous prime-boost vaccine regimens in healthy, malaria naïve adults. The study will include 2 vaccine groups and an infectivity control (IC) group consisting of non-immunized subjects. Subjects to be immunized will be randomly assigned to one of two vaccine groups.

The study evaluated if interactive theater in school sex education affects student knowledge, attitudes and behavior regarding condom use. The intervention group got a play, value exercises, chlamydia games, condom school and interactive replay with professional actors and staff from a youth guidance center. The control group got standard sex education from school staff, based on the education guidelines of the Swedish National Agency for Education.

A trial to assess cumulative incidence of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) in infants (by three months of age) born to mothers receiving a single-dose of 2 grams of oral azithromycin during labour (or immediately prior to delivery in the case of caesarean section), compared to infants whose mothers received placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MEDI8897 compared to palivizumab when administered to preterm infants entering their first RSV season and children with chronic lung disease (CLD) and congenital heart disease (CHD) entering their first and second RSV season.

This study is an open label and is an extension to the TDF2 study in which the investigators offered daily oral tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) for a maximum of 12 months to HIV uninfected former participants of the TDF2 study.

Phase III, Prospective, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Two-arm, Double Blind Study to assess Efficacy and Safety of D-PLEX Administered Concomitantly with the Standard of Care (SoC), compared to a SoC treated control arm, in prevention of post abdominal surgery incisional infection.

The aim of this randomised parallel trial is to compare the efficacy of Glycosaminoglycan layer replacement against cystoscopy and urethral dilatation in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection in pre-menopausal women. The women will be randomised to 1 of 2 arms.Arm 1 patients will receive standard treatment from the Urologists. This will involve rigid cystoscopy and urethral dilatation, under general anaesthetic. Arm 2 patients will receive standard treatment from the Gynaecologists.

This is a phase 2a, open-label, randomized study. The study is designed to test the hypothesis that the nucleoside inhibitor sofosbuvir combined with NS5A inhibitor daclatasvir and NS5B non-nucleoside inhibitor CDI-31244 with/without the protease inhibitor asunaprevir will result in high SVR rate with a shortened treatment duration (2 weeks) in non-cirrhotic HCV genotype 1b-infected subjects.

This study will evaluate the virologic effect, safety and tolerability of Genvoya® in adults during early acute HIV infection.

The overall aim of the project is to fill an important knowledge gap on the ecological effects of selected antibiotics. The results will be used to guide treatment decisions for common infections to as much as possible reduce the negative impact on the intestinal microbiota and consequently the risks of side effect and resistance development during therapy. Specific aims for this study are to determine (1) the composition of intestinal microbiota and prevalence of resistant bacteria and resistance genes prior to and up to 1 year after antibiotic treatment, and (2) the relative effects on the microbiota after treatment with three antibiotics used for lower respiratory tract infections; phenoximethylpenicillin, amoxicillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, or no treatment (control). A total of 120 healthy volunteers will be recruited to the study. They are randomised to 5 days' treatment with phenoximethylpenicillin, amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, or to no antibiotic treatment. Subjects submit faecal samples at eight different time-points; at the start of the study (before treatment), immediately, one week and 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after completion of the treatment. The samples will be delivered to Scilifelab for metagenomic sequencing to detect antibiotic resistant genes and analysis of the intestinal microbiota and to the Microbiology ward for analysis with phenotypic methods (culturomics) to detect resistant genes and resistant bacteria.
