Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, bismuth-containing quadruple active comparator-controlled Phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rifasutenizol in combination with rabeprazole and amoxicillin in the primary treatment of participants with H. pylori infection using an adaptive design with sample size re-estimation. Subjects will be randomly assigned to test group or control group at a 1:1 ratio stratified by study site, and will receive Rifasutenizol capsules, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, amoxicillin capsules combined with clarithromycin placebo tablets and bismuth potassium citrate placebo capsules (test group), or bismuth-containing quadruple regimen of amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin tablets, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets and bismuth potassium citrate capsules combined with RSZ placebo capsules (control group) for 14 consecutive days. 13C UBT will be performed 4 6 weeks after the last dose to evaluate the eradication effect of H. pylori.

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to examine donor human milk (DHM) as a clinical intervention targeted at achieving beneficial microbiome signatures in full-term infants who are exposed to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) therapy during labour. Secondarily, this study aims to compare the infant health outcomes of sleep and growth between groups to assess if these outcomes are mediated by infant feeding type or potential differences in microbial signatures. Finally, this study will compare maternal outcomes of depression, anger, breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding rates between groups. The hypothesis of this study is: that replacing formula with DHM supplementation will minimize gut microbiome dysbiosis and foster homeostasis following supplementation. In addition, it is hypothesized that improved homeostasis will promote improved sleep and growth outcomes in participant infants. Finally, mothers whose infants receive DHM will have lower depression and anger scores and high breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding rates compared to mothers whose infants receive formula.

Muscle health declines during aging. One factor that may impact muscle health is the community of bacteria that live in our intestines, but studies aimed at improving muscle health by targeting the gut in older adults are sparse. The primary goal of this study is to use a diet that is enriched in soluble fiber, which is exclusively utilized by gut bacteria to make substances that can impact muscle health, to improve muscle-related measures in older adults.

A phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, phage kinetics, and efficacy of inhaled AP-PA02 administered in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

This is an open label, multicenter, phase 1/2 study to assess the safety/tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of STAR0602 as a single agent administered intravenously in participants with advanced solid tumors that are antigen-rich.

BEAT-BK will see the effect of immunosuppression reduction/modification with and without IVIG on BKPyV infection, allograft function, allograft loss, acute transplant rejection, immunosuppression load and death in kidney and simultaneous kidney pancreas transplant recipients with polyomavirus infections (BKPyV).

Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogenic factor for gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer.However, with the increasing use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori continues to rise. In this study, we used egg yolk antibody combined with bismuth quadruple therapy to treat patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, and observed the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori, the relief of clinical symptoms and the incidence of adverse reactions.

Aim of the study: To describe the epidemiology, longitudinally follow, test the effect of early antiretroviral treatment and investigate early events of virus-host interactions in patients with documented acute or recent HIV-1 infection in Zurich. Study design: This is an open label, non-randomized, observational, single center study at the University Hospital Zurich, Division of Infectious Diseases and Hospital Epidemiology. We aim at enrolling approximately 300 patients over a 10 year period. All patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria of a documented acute or recent HIV infection can participate in the study. Patients are offered early combination antiretroviral treatment (cART), if treatment start falls within 90 days after diagnosis of acute HIV-infection. After one year of suppressed HIV-plasma viremia (< 50 copies/ml) patients can chose to stop cART. Patients who have not chosen to undergo early-cART, respectively will stop cART after one year will be followed for a total of 5 years. Viral setpoints reached after treatment interruptions will be compared to historic controls and to the control group not having received cART during acute infection. A battery of virological and immunological assays will be performed on blood samples obtained to better understand early virus-host interactions, which are thought to play a key role in HIV-pathogenesis research. Summary: In summary, this study will provide comprehensive knowledge on early HIV-infection with regard to epidemiology, impact of early-cART on the course of disease and forms the base for a variety of translational research projects addressing early key pathogenesis events between virus and host, relevant for the course of disease, for transmission, for development of vaccines and new treatment strategies. Trial with medicinal product

To assess the feasibility of donor-derived interferon (IFN)-γ positive select-ed virus-specific T-cells using the cytokine capture system® (CCS) and the safety of subsequent infusion in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with treatment refractory post-transplant viral infections. The CCS has already been successfully used in clinical studies in Germany and United Kingdom (UK).

A single dose infusion of Vabomere (meropenem-vaborbactam) is being tested for dose-finding, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in pediatric subjects from birth to less than 18 years of age with serious bacterial infections
