Active clinical trials for "Leishmaniasis, Visceral"

This study is designed to determine the efficacy of Fexinidazole as an oral treatment in Visceral Leishmanisasis sudanese adults patients. The results of this proof of concept study will allow to make a decision on whether to proceed with clinical development of Fexinidazole for visceral leishmaniasis.

Miltefosine will be administered to Brazilian patients with kala azar

This study will evaluate how the test medicine DNDI-0690 is taken up and broken down by the body and will also look at the safety and tolerability of the test medicine after a single dose. This is the first time the test medicine DNDI-0690 will be administered to humans.

This protocol will evaluate the efficacy and safety of various combinations of the three drugs; AmBisome, Paromomycin and Miltefosine at reduced total dosage against the standard treatment with a total dose of 15mg/kg of AmBisome.

It is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, two-arm study intended to assess the safety and efficacy of three different doses/dose regimens of paromomycin administered intramuscularly as follows: 11 mg/kg/day for 14 days and 11 mg/kg/day for 21 days for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in India.

Miltefosine and liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) are approved drugs for visceral leishmaniasis. In this study both drugs will be given in a sequential manner. AmBisome will be given on day 1, followed by Miltefosine for 14 days. Final Cure will be evaluated at six months.

Symptomatic Visceral Leishmaniasis(VL)is fatal; Due to the increasing resistance to standard therapy with antimonials, there is a need for new safe, efficacious, low-cost therapies for the treatment of VL. Paromomycin is an off-patent aminoglycoside antibiotic with anti-leishmaniasis activity. This study will test the safety and efficacy of paromomycin in the treatment of patients with VL in India.

The safety and effectiveness of AmBisome 15 mg/kg, given over 15 days in 5 biweekly infusions of 3 mg/kg on an outpatient basis, is evaluated in clinically diagnosed PKDL patients of 12 years and older in a highly endemic area in Bangladesh. This is a prospective study, with the objective to assess final cure 12 months after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with PMIM in patients with visceral leishmaniasis within the VL-endemic region of Bangladesh at EOT (21/22 days after treatment begins), and at 6 months after end of treatment (Day 202/203, -15 to +30 days).

The overall objective of this trial is to identify a safe and effective treatment for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in HIV co-infected Ethiopian patients. Patients will receive either Ambisome alone or Ambisome in combination with Miltefosine. Patients who do not undergo treatment failure will be given a VL prophylactic treatment with Pentamidine one month after the end of the study treatment.
