Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an extension of conventional urine diagnostics with mass spectrometry in patients with a suspected UTI. Mass spectrometry is done directly from the urine sample (without an intermediate bacterial culture).The primary outcome is the time from the entry of a urine sample in the microbiological laboratory to the adequate/optimal/definitive treatment. Secondary outcomes are the time to diagnosis of a therapy relevant UTI, the quantity of antibiotics prescribed per patient and ward and a comparison of the length of hospital stay.

The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to determine whether infusions of T-memory cells prevent infections in children with leukemia after allogeneic alpha, beta T-cell receptor (TcRab)/CD19-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of vapendavir treatment of laboratory-confirmed and symptomatic HRV infection of the upper respiratory tract in allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplant subjects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of vapendavir on laboratory-confirmed HRV upper-respiratory tract infection in HSCT patients, as measured by viral load changes, worsening of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), duration of clinical symptoms, the occurrence of supplemental oxygen use, duration of viral shedding, hospital admission and duration of hospitalization, incidence of secondary bacterial infection, and mortality rates. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of vapendavir, and the vapendavir plasma levels achieved in the HSCT population, and the profile of viral resistance development will also be assessed.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard for gallstones. In this study the investigators are investigating the effect of the removing of cholecystectomy material from different ports, to the port site infections.

A Phase III Double Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Protection Against HPV-16 and 18 Related Diseases, Immunogenicity and Safety of Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Virus-like Particle Vaccine (Type 16 and 18 L1 Proteins, Yeast) in Healthy Females Aged 18-30 Years.

The purpose of the study is to assess the short term efficacy of the Theraflu Night powder for oral solution in the Russian population in "Short term relief of the symptoms of colds, chills and influenza, including mild to moderate pain, fever and nasal congestion".

This Phase 2 Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine study is intended to replicate and extend the immunogenicity and safety results obtained in earlier Phase 1-2 and Phase 2 studies. The study is being conducted to evaluate that the immunogenicity profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine meets the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) licensure criteria and to evaluate if the immunogenicity and the safety profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine is acceptable and comparable to that of the FluLaval® Tetra and Fluzone® High-Dose (HD). The study will also help to define the optimal dose in this population, establish potential competitive advantages, and support the design of future studies.

A study to investigate if inhaled Interferon beta-1a is safe and tolerated, and can prevent or reduce the severity of asthma attacks when administered to asthma patients at the onset of symptoms of common cold or influenza

This multicentre, parallel group, block randomised clinical trial aims to investigate the post booster antibody response in UK infants given a reduced priming schedule of meningococcal serogroup B vaccine and 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. It will provide information about how best to include the meningococcal B vaccine (likely to be introduced late 2015) into the routine immunisation schedule. The UK Department of Health provides a routine vaccination schedule for children in the UK and are advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The Department of Health have announced that the meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero) be introduced to the routine schedule as a 2+1 schedule. Cost effectiveness could also be improved by removing the current MenC conjugate vaccine dose given at 3 months of age. There is no published immunogenicity data for Bexsero when given at 2, 4 and 12 months of age (2+1 schedule) and with concomitant Infanrix/IPV/Hib which has now replaced Pediacel in the infant programme. This change to the schedule would result in three injections at 2, 4 and 12 months, and given previous reluctance among parents for three injections at one visit, an option to reduce PCV13 to a 1+1 schedule (priming dose at 3 months and booster at 12 months) will be assessed in this study.

The purpose of this study is to see if applying parafilm as an external barrier on the central line in children having a bone marrow transplant helps to prevent central line associated bloodstream infection(s) and also to assess the ease of use of parafilm.
