Active clinical trials for "Staphylococcal Infections"

Vancomycin is the standard first-line treatment for MRSA infections and a first-line empiric therapy. The relationship between exposure to vancomycin and efficacy is admitted but because of an important intersubject variability, therapeutic exposure isn't usually achieved. The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate a new early dosage adjustment strategy of vancomycin in children, comparing it to the usual treatment strategy. Using a bayesian approach, the purpose is to achieve earlier a therapeutic and non-toxic exposure to vancomycin. The primary hypothesis is that an early dosage adjustment strategy using a bayesian approach will allow patients to achieve the vancomycin pharmacological target faster than with the usual treatment strategy.

This study will evaluate the maximum safe dose of the true human monoclonal antibody, 514G3, in the treatment of patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteremia. Preliminary evidence of efficacy will be evaluated as well. Patients will receive 514G3 plus antibiotics or placebo plus antibiotics in approximately a 3 to 1 ratio.

The Objectives of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single dose of N-Rephasin® SAL200 in healthy male subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aerosolized vancomycin is effective in the treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia under mechanical ventilation.

The purpose of this study is to treat persistent MRSA carriers with vitamin D supplementation during a 12 month to see if the number of MRSA positive patients can be reduced.

This is a Phase I, multi-center, clinical study of XF-73 to evaluate the local (nasal) safety and tolerability of a modified, thinner lower viscosity formulation of intranasal XF-73 in healthy male and female subjects. In addition, the potential for systemic absorption of XF-73 in the modified, thinner lower viscosity and the previously investigated thicker, higher viscosity formulations and their decolonization efficacy in comparison to placebo will be evaluated. Both parts of the study will be double-blinded and Part 2 will also be placebo-controlled. Primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability of two concentrations of a modified thinner, lower viscosity nasal formulation of XF-73 and to compare them to a previously investigated, thicker, higher viscosity formulation

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of selected serious infections caused by VRE. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the clinical response for all subjects.

Our objective is to establish pharmacological equivalence of intermittent and continuous infusion of cloxacillin during methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bone and joint infections (BJI). Twelve patients suffering MSSA BJI will receive both administration modalities and serum concentrations of cloxacillin will be determined after 3 days of II and 3 days of continuous infusion in a prospective, randomized, open-label, monocentric crossover study design.

Patients will be enrolled in a multi-center study (Wilford Hall Medical Center and Brooke Army Medical Center) to prospectively evaluate outcome after treatment for an uncomplicated skin abscess.

There are indications that the vitamin D status of an individual is related to susceptibility to staphylococcal infections. In the present study we will examine nasal colonisation rate in subjects participating in an ongoing vitamin D intervention study ( 20.000 IU cholecalciferol per week vs placebo) for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.
