Active clinical trials for "Leishmaniasis"

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic response to fluconazole in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by and L.(V.)guyanensis and L.(V.) braziliensis.

The purpose of this trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of a combined therapy using thermotherapy (TT) (one session, 50 degrees Celsius for 30") + miltefosine at a standard dose of 2.5 mg/kg/day for 21 days for the treatment of uncomplicated CL in Peru and Colombia

A clinical trial to asses efficacy and safety of Transition-state Analog Inhibitor of Human Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase for topical use associated standard antimonial in the treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Bahia, Brazil.

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.

Cure rate for L braziliensis bolivian CL has been 70%-80% for standard systemic and local monotherapies. It would benefit patients if cure rates could be consistently >90%, so testing a combination of two treatments is proposed. The most attractive systemic therapy is the only oral agent, miltefosine during 28 days, and the most attractive local therapy is application of Paromomycin cream for 28 days.

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of miltefosine in children and adults with cutaneous leishmaniasis in plasma and intracellularly, and its relation with the parasitologic response. The results will provide pharmacologic bases to optimize the use of miltefosine for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and will provide the knowledge base to assess the impact of pharmacokinetic behavior in children and adults on the emergence of drug resistance.

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of WR 279,396 (Paromomycin + Gentamicin Topical Cream) and Paromomycin Topical Cream in subjects with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).

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.
