Active clinical trials for "Infections"

A phase IIA randomized double-blind placebo-controlled single-centre study of the effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination on the HIV latent reservoir

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of Intravenous Infusion of Zofin for treatment of moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to COVID-19 infection vs Placebo.

The purpose of this study is to assess completion and performance of the following novel invasive cervical cancer (ICC) screen-and-treat algorithm among 625 HIV-positive women in Lilongwe, Malawi: 1) rapid testing of self-collected vaginal brush for primary high risk (hr)-human papillomavirus (HPV), 2) same-day visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) for women who are hr-HPV positive, and 3) thermocoagulation for VIA positive/ablation-eligible (by cervical colposcopy) women.

Marrow transplanted immunocompromised patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral infection will be treated with CMV activated T-Lymphocytes. T-Lymphocytes will be obtained through an apheresis from a compatible donor. Safety and immunoreconstitution parameters in blood samples will be assessed up to +60 days after the treatment.

This trial has two parts. Part A and Part B. Due to changes in the overall clinical development plan, Part B will no longer be conducted. The objectives originally described for Part B have been implemented in the ongoing development via a pivotal Phase I/II/III trial BNT162-02/C4591001 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT: 04368728). Part A is for dose ranging of four different vaccines (BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2) which will be undertaken with dose escalation and de-escalation plus the evaluation of interim dose levels. It also includes dose ranging in older participants. The vaccines BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2 will be administered using a Prime/Boost (P/B) regimen. The vaccine BNT162c2 will also be administered using a Single dose (SD) regimen. Three additional cohorts aged from 18 to 85 years receiving BNT162b2 only. BNT162b2 has entered a Phase II/III evaluation of efficacy, with the intent to support an application for marketing authorization. The dosing regimen under investigation is two BNT162b2 doses given ~21 d apart.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a combination of the broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) teropavimab (formerly GS-5423) and zinlirvimab (formerly GS-2872) in combination with the HIV capsid inhibitor lenacapavir (LEN).

A preparation of CimertrA, comprising Artemisinin, Curcumin, and Boswellia, and Vitamin C in a nanoparticular formulation, is proposed as a treatment for the disease associated with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This initiative is presented under the urgent circumstances of the fulminant pandemic caused by this lethal disease, which is known as COVID-19 and has spread across the globe causing death and disrupting the normal function of modern society. The grounds for the proposal are rooted in existing knowledge on the components and pharmacological features of this formulation and their relevance to the current understanding of the disease process being addressed. The severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness results from the immediate response to the viral infection as well as from a subsequent host inflammatory response. Systemic proinflammatory cytokines and biomarkers are elevated as the disease progresses towards its advanced stages, and correlate with worse chances of survival. Serum cytokine levels that are elevated in patients with Covid-19-associated cytokine storm include interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, IP-10, TNF, interferon-γ, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP) 1α and 1β, and VEGF. Higher interleukin-6 levels are strongly associated with shorter survival. The relative frequencies of circulating activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and plasmablasts are increased in Covid-19. In addition to the elevated systemic cytokine levels and activated immune cells, several clinical and laboratory abnormalities, such as elevated CRP and d-dimer levels, hypoalbuminemia, renal dysfunction, and effusions, are also observed in Covid-19. Laboratory test results reflecting hyper inflammation and tissue damage were found to predict worsening outcomes in Covid-19. CimetrA, comprising Artemisinin, Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin C in a nanoparticular formulation, has been studied on patients with COVID-19 in a randomized double-blind control Phase II study (MGC-006 - under a previous product name - ArtemiC). The study product demonstrated excellent safety and efficacy profiles. Experiments performed in vitro with CimetrA demonstrated the ability to reduce cytokine elevation in response to stimulation of human PBMC preparations. The currently proposed Multi-center multinational-controlled study is designed to include 252 adult patients who suffer from moderate COVID-19 infection. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments, and vital signs. After the screening visit, the study drug will be administrated twice a day morning and evening (every 12 hours) during (day 1 and day 2) The patients will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to study drug (CimetrA) in addition to Standard of Care (Arm 1 (CimetrA-1) or Arm 2 (CimetrA-2)) or Placebo in addition to Standard of Care (Arm 3).

The PROOF Study is an open prospective interventional non-randomized study which aim is to determine the outcome / effect and safety of fosfomycin in patients with hip, knee or shoulder PJI.

ULSC-CV-01 is a clinical trial that comprises both Phase 1 and Phase 2a, which will be conducted sequentially. This trial will evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of allogeneic Umbilical Cord Lining Stem Cells (ULSC), which are a type of umbilical cord tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), with intravenous (IV) administration in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19.

This is a Phase 1b/2a study with the primary objective to determine if BX004-A is safe and tolerable. Exploratory objectives include whether BX004-A reduces sputum Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) bacterial load in CF subjects with chronic PsA pulmonary infection.
