Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of COH04S1, a synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated the capability to spread rapidly, leading to significant impacts on healthcare systems and causing societal disruption. COH04S1 was created by placing small pieces of SARS-CoV-2 DNA (the chemical form of genes) into synthetic MVA, which may be able to induce immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the optimal dose of the COH04S1 vaccine.

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either two injections of CMV-MVA Triplex® or placebo administered at study Entry/Day 0 and week 4. Vaccine Group: 60 participants will receive CMV-MVA Triplex® containing 5 x 10^8 plaque-forming unit (pfu) ±0.5 x 10^8 pfu of MVA Vaccine Encoding CMV Antigens by intramuscular (IM) deltoid injections. Placebo Group: 30 participants will receive a volume of placebo (7.5% Lactose in phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]) that matches the volume of the active vaccine injection by IM deltoid injections.

The goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, lenacapavir (LEN), works in preventing the risk of HIV.

This study will provide: (1) new insights in the prevalence of Aspergillus infection in children and adolescents with CF aged 8-17 yrs; (2) an in silico modelled dose of posaconazole for children and adolescents with CF and Aspergillus infection aged 8-17 yrs; (3) an intensive sampling PK study to define the optimal dose in a limited number of children and adolescents with CF and Aspergillus infection aged 8-17 yrs; (4) a prospective clinical validation to reduce the residual variability and to allow investigation into PK-PD; and (5) an efficacy evaluation of this dosing regimen to treat Aspergillus infection in children and adolescents with CF to inform future primary efficacy trials.

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the use of viral specific T-lymphocytes (VSTs) to treat viral infections that may happen after solid organ transplant (SOT). VSTs are cells specially designed to fight viral infections that may happen after a solid organ transplant. These cells are created from a blood sample collected from the study participant. Solid organ transplant and the use of immunosuppressive medications reduces the body's ability to fight infections. Viral infections are a common problem after transplant and can cause significant complications. Reduction of immunosuppression may put the organ at risk of rejection. Moreover, treatment of viral infections is expensive and time consuming, with families often administering prolonged treatments with intravenous anti-viral medications, or patients requiring prolonged admissions to the hospital. The medicines can also have side effects like damage to the kidneys or reduction in the blood counts, so in this study the investigators are trying to find a better way to treat these infections and minimize complications.

The goal of the NANO trial is to study the longstanding clinical practice of empirically administering intravenous antibiotics to extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants in the first days of life. In this 802-subject multicenter placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, the hypothesis to be tested is that the incidence of adverse outcomes is higher in babies receiving empiric antibiotics (EA) in the first week of life compared to babies receiving placebo. The study targets a population of ELBW infants in whom the clinical decision to use or not use EA is currently most challenging -- infants that are clinically stable that did not have a known exposure to intraamniotic infection and were not born preterm for maternal indications. The primary outcome is the composite outcome of late-onset sepsis (LOS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), or death during the index hospitalization. Secondary safety outcomes will include total antibiotic days, days to full enteral feedings, and common morbidities in preterm infants that have previously been linked to EA, e.g. retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Weight and length z-score, and head circumference, are standard measures to be collected weekly by clinical team per a standardized protocol.

This open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial will assess the safety and efficacy of related donor adenovirus-specific T lymphocytes isolated from whole blood or leukapheresis products. The adenovirus-specific T lymphocytes will be generated automatically by the CliniMACS Prodigy using the CliniMACS Cytokine Capture System (IFN-γ) after incubation with MACS GMP PepTivator Peptide Pools of Hexon 5 for enrichment.

TRL1068 is expected to eliminate the pathogen-protecting biofilm in the prosthetic joint and surrounding tissue, thus making these pathogens substantially more susceptible to established antibiotic treatment regimens. This initial study is designed to assess overall safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TRL1068. The overall goal of the development program is to demonstrate that TRL1068 can facilitate effectiveness of a single stage joint replacement or preservation of the original infected prosthetic joint in a substantial proportion of patients with PJI.

The purpose of this study is to determine the Dose from the safety and tolerability of intravenous Brincidofovir (BCV, SyB V-1901) using multiple ascending doses in subjects with Adenovirus infection.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cefiderocol after single-dose administration in hospitalized pediatric participants 3 months to < 12 years of age with suspected or confirmed aerobic Gram-negative bacterial infections and after multiple-dose administration in hospitalized pediatric participants 3 months to < 18 years of age with suspected or confirmed complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP).
