Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

This is a randomized, open label, comparative Phase II trial being conducted to determine whether fecal microbiota transplant using Penn Microbiome Therapy (PMT) products helps standard therapy eradicate antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antiretroviral activity of a new therapeutic strategy, based on the administration of dasatinib, an ITK, in patients with recent (3-12 months) asymptomatic HIV-1 infection.

An increase of healthcare-associated infections caused by multidrug- resistant organisms (MRDO) is currently observed. One of the main causes of the emergence of a MDRO infection is an overuse of antibiotics. Therefore, saving useless antibiotic treatment is currently a priority from a public health point of view. The evaluation of the risk of having a bloodstream infection will allow both activating faster treatment decisions (when the risk is significantly high) or to save useless resources in terms of diagnostic tests and treatments, also limiting the potential for side effects (when the risk is significantly low).

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of early-life B. infantis Rosell®-33 supplementation in infants exposed to HIV on: gut microbiome composition and diversity at 4 weeks of life markers of intestinal inflammation and microbial translocation at 4 weeks of life Th1 cytokine responses to BCG at 7 weeks and 36 weeks of life The secondary objectives include to evaluate the effect of B. infantis Rosell®-33 supplementation on: longitudinal succession of the gut microbiota composition, diversity and function relative and absolute abundance of B. infantis in infant stool during the first 36 weeks of life stool metabolome T cell subset ontogeny during the first 9 months of life. Exploratory objectives are to evaluate whether B. infantis Rosell®-33 supplementation improves: infant growth all-cause morbidity neurodevelopment during the first 9 months of life antibody responses to early childhood vaccines

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the effect of adjunctive clindamycin in the treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections due to Staphylococcus aureus in patients from Sierra Leone. The study hypothesizes that clindamycin, when added to routine treatment, will lead to a more rapid clinical resolution and less frequent recurrences of infection.

FAVIDOSE trial is a Phase I randomized, double blind controlled, monocentric, dose escalation clinical trial. The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate tolerance of high doses of favipiravir for 14 days in healthy volunteers. This trial also looks to characterize favipiravir pharmacokinetics in blood and favipiravir levels in sperm. A pharmacogenetics analysis will be conducted in an attempt to identify genetic variants of metabolism and transport enzymes of favipiravir to explain the inter-individual variability of pharmacokinetic parameters of favipiravir. Three sequential dose levels including distinctive participants: level 1: D1: 2400 mg BID; D2 to D13: 1600 mg BID and D14: 1600 mg in the morning; level 2: D1: 2400 mg BID; D2 to D13: 2000 mg BID and D14: 2000 mg in the morning; level 3: D1: 2400 mg BID; D2 to D13: 2400 mg BID andD14: 2400 mg in the morning. Three study groups of maximum of 8 participants, 6 receiving favipiravir and 2 receiving placebo per dose level, three dose levels proposed. Seven additional participants with the same follow up will be included and randomized (6:1 ratio) at the maximum tolerated dose level to allow a satisfactory accurate characterization of pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of favipiravir and their determinants (maximum 39 participants in total, taking into account 8 participants - 2 per dose level - replaced because loss of follow-up before the end of treatment).

A randomized controlled study was conducted to determine the effects of vaginal estrogen and human interferon alpha 2b vaginal effervescent capsules on vaginal microecology in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. To determine whether there is a synergistic effect between the two in the treatment of HPV infection in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. To observe the effects of two drugs alone and combined on the vaginal immune environment of patients.

The study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of different dosing regimens of the Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (100 mcg) in preventing COVID-19 disease in people who are living with HIV or have comorbidities associated with elevated risk of severe COVID-19, with the different vaccine regimens assessed determined by whether the participant had evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection at enrollment.

A phase 3, open-label, single-arm, prospective, multi-center trial of Cytotect CP Biotest (BT097) for prevention of maternal-fetal CMV transmission after primary maternal CMV infection. The main purpose of the trial is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of Cytotect CP Biotest in preventing maternal-fetal transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Rift Valley fever (RVF), a disease transmitted from livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, camels) to humans more commonly occurs in the East and Central Africa (ECA) regions where more than 15 major epidemics affecting more than one country have been reported over the past 50 years. Within the region, there are specific areas, referred to as hotspots, which support RVF virus maintenance via low-level virus circulation between animals, humans, and mosquitoes. Most outbreaks originate from these hotspots. Our goal is to conduct studies in RVF hotspots in four ECA countries, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to determine the burden of RVF disease among humans, wildlife and livestock during inter-epidemic periods (IEPs) and discover circulation of undetected infectious diseases. This information is important for use in developing an early warning system and possibly a vaccination strategy. The study will take place in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo
