Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

This is a Phase 2 single-center, open-label, single-arm, study of a microbiological endpoint using antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for nasal disinfection in all patients (universal) presenting for surgery at an acute care hospital for a wide range of surgical procedures.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, proof-of-concept study of intranasal foralumab in hospitalized subjects with severe COVID-19 and pulmonary inflammation. Foralumab is a fully human second generation anti-CD3 mAb with a modified Fc unit (two amino acid substitutions) composed of 2 heavy chains with an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1constant region and 2 light chains with a kappa constant region. In a separate Phase 2 randomized, controlled, pilot trial conducted to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy in 39 patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 in Brazil, showed that intranasal foralumab may be of benefit in modulating immune reactivity and in reducing pulmonary inflammation. Importantly, intranasal administration of foralumab was well tolerated with no clinically significant changes in blood cell counts (including blood lymphocytes), no evidence of hypersensitivity, and no serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in the study.

The purpose of this study is to assess SARS CoV-2 infection, viral shedding, and subsequent potential transmission in individuals immunized with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

This is a dose optimisation study in healthy adults aged 18-30 who will be experimentally inoculated with SARS-CoV-2. The aim is to cause PCR-confirmed upper respiratory infection in the majority of challenged individuals with minimal or no illness, providing data on the course of COVID-19 and the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. This will establish an optimised dose and study design that will then be used to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and vaccine candidates plus level and duration of immune protection in follow-on trials.

This is a Phase I open-label interventional study which will test the efficacy of ResCure™ in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.

This is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled parallel, phase II clinical efficacy study evaluating Nitric Oxide Nasal Irrigation (NONI) for the treatment of COVID-19 in individuals with mild COVID-19 Infection.

This is a randomized controlled trial to test a combination behavioral and biomedical interventions to improve the HIV prevention and care cascades in a population of mobile men in a high priority setting (fishermen in Kenya). The intervention strategy is to recruit and train highly socially-connected men to distribute HIV self-tests and provide linkage support to men in their close social networks. The study will determine whether this social network-based approach along with small financial incentives in the form of transport vouchers can increase men's self-testing, linkage to and uptake of ART and PrEP after self-testing, virologic suppression at 6 months (for those initiating ART) and PrEP adherence (for those initiating PrEP) at 6 months. The study includes a longitudinal qualitative and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative assessments) to identify the pathways of intervention action, and understand how the social network-based approach with support for linkage affects testing and ART and PrEP uptake and retention in men.

To assess the safety of combination immune therapy in HIV-infected participants whose HIV is controlled with ART, by determining the incidence and severity of adverse events.

This is a local, phase IV, open-label, randomized, head to head study of children aged 3 to 7 years. The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of a single dose of both diclofenac potassium and nimesulide in the reduction of fever and pain secondary to upper respiratory tract infection.

This is a multi-center, comparative, two-arm, parallel-group, single-blind, phase III study to assess immunogenicity and safety of 4th LBVH0101 (Haemophilus influenzae type b tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine) vaccination compared with 4th Hiberix™ vaccination after the same vaccination with primary one in healthy toddlers who completed the primary vaccination with LBVH0101 or Hiberix™ in LG-VHCL002 study.
