Active clinical trials for "Leishmaniasis"

The purpose of this protocol is to conduct a randomized comparison of the efficacy and tolerance of miltefosine, LAMB, and pentavalent antimony for the treatment of mucosal leishmaniasis. With such controlled pharmacodynamic data, and additional considerations of administrative convenience (oral >>IV) and cost, we hope that it will be possible for policy makers, treatment professionals, and patients to choose the most appropriate therapy for ML.

Randomised clinical trial comparing oral miltefosine associated with pentoxifylline to intravenous liposomal amphotericin b for the treatment of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis

This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, first time in human (FTIH) study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of GSK3494245. The study will consist of 3 cohorts, conducted in a sequential manner. Cohorts 1 and 2 will consist of a single ascending dose (SAD), crossover design where each participant will receive a maximum of 3 ascending oral doses of GSK3494245 and 1 placebo dose under fasted conditions. At each dose level, GSK3494245 and placebo will be administered in a 3:1 ratio, within each period, according to the randomization schedule in a blinded manner. Cohort 3 will comprise of a 2-way crossover which includes 1 dosing regimen under fasted then fed conditions and 1 regimen under fed then fasted conditions in a 1:1 ratio. The fed conditions will investigate the effect of safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of GSK3494245 following food administration.

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by more than 20 different species of the protozoan parasite Leishmania. CL generally begins with a papule at the sand fly bite site, increasing to form a nodule that progresses to ulceration, or a scaly or wart-like plaque, over a period of 1 to 3 months. The exact incidence of CL is not known. An estimated 1.2 million cases / year in approximately 100 countries around the world suffer from different forms of CL. In general, most lesions become ulcerated during the course of the disease. Among the different species of the parasite that cause LC, L. tropica from the Old World and L. braziliensis from the New World are considered the most important due to the severity of the disease they produce and because they are more difficult to cure with medications currently available. Since 2010, the World Health Organization has insisted on the need to work on products that become alternatives for the treatment of CL, especially in products that serve topical application because with them, the probability of systemic toxicity is lower , increasing patient safety. Among the options for topical treatment are natural products that have been, are, and will be extremely important as sources of medicinal agents. In addition to natural products that have found direct medicinal application as pharmaceutical entities, many others can serve as chemical models or templates for the design, synthesis and semi-synthesis of novel substances for the treatment of human diseases. Arnica montana L. is a plant with anti-echemotic, healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antineuralgic properties; It is included in the Colombian vademecum of medicinal plants. In previous studies it has been observed that the contact of the ulcerated skin with the product for up to 60 days does not generate toxic effects at the local level (application site) or at the systemic level, so it can be considered safe for use. To date there are no human studies with CL. Therefore, it is intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Arnica tincture in individuals with uncomplicated CL, by measuring the occurrence and severity analysis of local and systemic adverse events.

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by obligate, intracellular protozoa of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. It is found mostly in tropical and subtropical areas then it has spread into southern Europe. Increased international travel and immigration have led to an increased diagnosis of leishmaniasis cases in nonendemic areas (Kollipara et al., 2016). Foci of CL, caused by L. ma¬jor, occur in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. Many researchers have studied leishmaniasis in the endemic northern African countries, e.g., Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. One of the established endemic leishmaniasis Libyan provinces is Al-jabal Al-gharbi province, where CL comprises a major parasitic health problem (Abdellatif et al., 2013).To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional cryotherapy, intralesional Voriconazole, and oral doxycycline in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis compared to the conventional treatment (intralesional SSG).

This is a phase II, multicentre, randomized, two-arm blinded study with an open label calibrator arm in adults and adolescents (≥12 years) with confirmed primary VL.

Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in the central region of Brazil and other countries worldwide. The standard treatment with meglumine antimoniate has a high rate of important adverse effects. This interventional study consists in a randomized clinical trial to access efficacy and safety of the association of miltefosine and pentoxifylline compared to meglumine antimoniate and pentoxifyline.

This study evaluates if the combination of thermotherapy (one application, 50⁰C for 30") and 3 weeks of miltefosine is safe and have a comparable cure rate with the current recommended first line treatments comprising meglumine antimoniate for 3 weeks for the treatment of uncomplicated cutaneous leishmaniasis cases in the New World.

It is a randomized phase II clinical study, unicentre aimed to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of 18-Methoxyoronaridine as a candidate of tegumentary leishmaniasis treatment.

The purpose of this observational study is to fulfill FDA Post Marketing Requirement (PMR) 2127-1 for miltefosine (NDA204684): implement a pregnancy registry for the time period Mar 2015-Mar 2024. This study is a prospective observational study in which female patients undergoing Impavido who become pregnant during treatment or within 5 months after completing treatment can volunteer to provide information about their pregnancy and the outcome of the pregnancy.
