Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

This study is designed to provide evidence of efficacy of cefiderocol in the treatment of serious infections in adult patients caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.

This is a Phase 3, multi-site, non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of MK-7625A 1.5 g (ceftolozane 1 g/tazobactam 0.5 g) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) including pyelonephritis (uncomplicated or complicated pyelonephritis and complicated lower urinary tract infection) in Japanese participants. Efficacy will be primarily assessed by microbiological response defined as eradication of the baseline pathogen or pathogens.

This is a phase 2a study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of CMX157 at increasing dose levels.

The overall objective is to determine the influence of timing of ART initiation and alcohol consumption on HIV disease course. ART initiation immediately after HIV infection largely results in smaller HIV reservoir and lower HIV-associated systemic inflammation, which has been linked to non-AIDS morbidity and mortality. Immediate ART also reduces HIV-associated bacterial translocation and may prevent intestinal microbiome dysbiosis, that has been linked to increased systemic inflammation. Immediate intervention is not, however, generally feasible and more information is required about the consequences of starting ART at later time-points, but still early after acquisition. The study will be conducted in Lima, Peru, in a cohort of 180 MSM and transgender women (TW) with acute (Ab-, HIV RNA+) or recent (≤ 3 months) HIV infection. Alcohol use disorder (AUDIT score ≥8) is present in ~50% of HIV + participants in our cohort, four times higher than that seen among males in the general Peruvian population. Although the role of alcohol use in HIV pathogenesis and disease course remains unclear, some studies show a correlation with accelerated disease progression. The effects of alcohol resemble early post-infection changes in bacterial translocation and pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by HIV and their impact on HIV disease course before and after ART initiation remain unexplored. Specific Aim 1: To determine the relative long-term benefits of immediate vs. early vs. delayed ART initiation at 24 weeks after diagnosis. The investigators will study outcomes after 2 and 4 years in MSM and TW diagnosed with acute or recent HIV infection. Specific Aim 2: To determine the impact of alcohol use on the relative long-term benefits of immediate vs. early vs. delayed initiation of ART.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of imipenem+cilastatin/relebactam (MK-7655A) versus colistimethate sodium+imipenem+cilastatin in the treatment of imipenem-resistant bacterial infections. Infections evaluated in the study will be hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), and complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different doses of intravenous and oral Debio 1450 compared with intravenous vancomycin and oral linezolid in the treatment of patients with staphylococcal ABSSSI.

This was a Phase 2/3, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/RTV) with or without dasabuvir (DSV) and with or without ribavirin (RBV) in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 or 4 (GT1 or GT4)-infected pediatric participants of ≥ 3 to 17 years of age.

This study will assess the safety , efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime avibactam and metronidazole versus meropenem in paediatric population (from 3 months to less than 18 years of age )with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs)

This study is a two-arm prospective 1:1 randomised controlled trial comparing the proportion of patients between: Group 1: vorinostat/hydroxychloroquine/maraviroc (VHM) co-administered with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) Group 2: ART only who are able to maintain HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml following treatment interruption. Subjects will be recruited from RV254/SEARCH 010, an acute HIV infection cohort conducted by the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre in Bangkok, Thailand. The study will run for a minimum of 34 weeks from screening.
