Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

This study aims to find out whether treating children and young people living with HIV with two anti HIV medicines, dolutegravir and lamivudine, is safe and as effective as the three-medicine anti-HIV treatments currently used in routine practice.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the optimal dose and safety of oral alanyl-glutamine between 4, 24, and 44 g doses administered for 10 days with standard therapy among first time incident cases of uncomplicated C. difficile infection (CDI) in hospitalized, or outpatient, persons aged 18 or older. Our hypothesis is that alanyl-glutamine supplementation will decrease recurrence and mortality from CDI and these outcomes will be associated with improvement of inflammatory markers and restoration of intestinal microbiota function.

The goal of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the combination of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) (teropavimab (formerly GS-5423) and zinlirvimab (formerly GS-2872)) with lenacapavir (LEN) in virologically suppressed adults with HIV-1 infection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of switching to a regimen of LEN, teropavimab, and zinlirvimab, versus continuing on baseline oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) as determined by the proportion of participants with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥ 50 copies/mL at Week 26.

The purpose of this study is to measure the concentration of formaldehyde in the urine of women with recurrent urinary tract infections on Hiprex; and then, assuming its urinary presence is confirmed at the proper acid urinary pH, evaluate if such a therapy has favorable effects in decreasing the rate of recurrent urinary tract infections over time.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the primary objectives of safety and efficacy (rate of clinical cure) of 2 dosages of CRS3123 (200 mg and 400 mg) administered orally (po) twice daily (bid) and vancomycin administered 125 mg PO 4 times daily (qid) in adults > or equal to 18 years of age with a primary episode or first recurrence of CDI. The study will investigate the plasma concentrations and HRQoL outcomes of CRS3123 and additional efficacy endpoints as secondary objectives.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate, among patients with non-complicated CR-BSIs due to S. aureus, that a single-dose of intravenous (IV) dalbavancin 1500 mg is non-inferior to standard documented antibiotic therapy for 14 days according to national guidelines at DAY 30 (Long follow up visit). As the secondary objectives, the study aims to evaluate according to treatment group: Cure rate at DAY 14 and DAY 90 (EOS); Mortality rate within 90 days of follow-up; Time to negativation of blood cultures; Patient's quality of life; Hospitalization length of stay; Cost-utility analyses; Occurrence of any adverse event (AE and SAE), until Day 90 (EOS).

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of PLG0206 for treating periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in conjunction with the DAIR (debridement, antibiotics and implant retention) surgical procedure for patients with periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) .

This phase I trial tests the feasibility and safety of genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in controlling infections caused by adenovirus (ADV), BK virus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), JC virus (JCV), or COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients with cancer. Viral infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and therapeutic options for these infections are often complicated by associated toxicities. Genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) are designed to kill a specific virus that can cause infections. Depending on which virus a patient is infected with (ADV, BKV, CMV, JCV, or COVID-19), the CTLs will be designed to specifically attack that virus. Giving genetically modified CTLs may help to control the infection.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose dual therapy compared with furazolidone-based quadruple therapy as a rescue treatment for helicobacter pylori infection.

This is a multi-center, single arm, open-label, phase I study to determine the safety and effectiveness of CMV-TCR-T cell immunotherapy in treating CMV virus infection after allogenic HSCT.
