Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

This observational study will collect data from patients treated with siltuximab program for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection complicated with serious respiratory complications. This observational study will group the patients into two cohorts receiving siltuximab.. Outcome of patients will be compared to a cohort of patients receiving standard treatment without siltuximab. The patients will be divided into 2 cohorts. Those contained in Cohort A were treated after the use of continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Patients in Cohort B were treated after intubation

Prospective observational study to evaluate a possible change in APS antibody profiles after COVID-19 infection or vaccination

The main focus of this observational study is to analyze the possible effects of cranberry dietary supplements on the intestinal microbiota in women with recurrent uncomplicated urinary tract infections. In a secondary analysis the possible influence of the microbiota changes on the recurrence frequency in the follow-up should be analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to assessed the efficacy of a combined solution of ethanol (4%) and low molecular weight heparins LMWH in preventing tunnelled dialysis catheter infection in chronic hemodialysis patients

The primary purpose of this study is to support the development of a host response test for acute respiratory illness to identify bacterial, viral or NB/NV etiologies as compared to a clinical adjudication reference standard. Secondary objectives include: Evaluate the effect of age on the performance of the HR-ARI test Evaluate the effect of race/ethnicity on the performance of the HR-ARI test Evaluate the effect of geography on the performance of the HR-ARI test

The investigators will analyze biomarkers related to the prognosis and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The focus will be on whether certain endothelial and immune system biomarkers can function as markers of disease severity, mortality as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Biomarkers will be measured upon admission to an intensive care unit at Copenhagen University Hospital and during the following 3 days.

The purpose of this study is to assess the validity and reproducibility of the MP Diagnostics HTLV Blot 2.4 in blood specimens testing repeat reactive (RR) on the first FDA licensed screening assay (Abbott Prism) and non-reactive (NR) on the second FDA licensed screening assay (Avioq ELISA).

This is a controlled open label efficacy study of Aionx antimicrobial surface for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections.

The purpose of this project is to investigate whether a combination of a local injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) combined with a daily supplement of vitamin C, zinc, L-arginine, as well as high protein diet (1.5 g of protein per kilo body weight per day) can promote tissue healing in patients undergoing open upper-abdominal surgery. Primary endpoint is cases of wound infection and secondary endpoints are time of tissue regeneration (days), judged by traditional clinical observation and experimentally assessed by ultrasound. The experiment is performed as a parallel two-armed, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 40 subjects will be included in the trial i order to ensure the power of the study, despite a drop off of up to 25%.

Multicenter study allowing to include the first sixty patients implanted with a custom-made corpectomy implant (UNiD 3D VBR): 30 patient implanted in cervical region and 30 patients implanted in thoracolumbar region. The main objective is to confirm feasibilty and safety of patient-specific implants for one or multi-level corpectomy and fusion. This study was approved in March 2016 allowing to include retrospectivley all patients since the first implantation in January 2015 and prospectively all patients after the approval.
