Active clinical trials for "Pneumonia"

In this study, the tetravalent bioconjugate candidate vaccine Kleb4V will be tested to obtain first-time-in-human (FTIH) data on its safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults.

To study signals of efficacy and safety of a currently available dosage form (IM) of EG-009A in reducing the severity of respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety of Umbilical Cord Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCMSCs) administered intravenously in patients with acute pulmonary inflammation due to COVID-19 with moderately severe symptoms

Statins with their powerful anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant properties make them candidate members to be used in the management of sepsis and different types of infections including pneumonia. This study aims to determine whether adjunctive statin therapy decreased day- 28 mortality among ICU patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) & number of ventilator-free days (after successful weaning) between day 1 and both day 28.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in elderly subjects with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) receiving antibiotic therapy in the hospital.

Intravenous Azythromycin therapy is considerably more expensive than oral therapy. The investigators believe that intravenous therapy is prolonged more that necessary and that oral therapy can be used much earlier in the course of the disease. The investigators plan to check if that statement is true and intervene in order to shorten the intravenous therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the in-vivo efficacy of a novel device (endOclear) for cleaning the endotracheal tube (ETT) lumen from secretions. The investigators hypothesize that a protocol of routine ETT cleaning with endOclear may increase the ETT luminal volume measured at extubation compared to the current standard of care. The device may therefore be clinically useful by better maintaining the ETT original function.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are leading causes of death and health care use. Diffuse airways inflammation is seen in COPD and is thought to be the reason for deterioration of lung function in COPD. Currently there is no medication available that can modify or reduce this inflammation. Furthermore, from literature review it has been shown that chronic inflammation can result in cancerous changes. Curcumin is a food additive used for centuries. Several studies showed that curcumin suppress the different inflammatory pathways. Specially, the TNF-alpha and the NF kappa-b are down regulated by this substance. This study was designed to evaluate effect of combination of curcumin+Bioprine on sputum cytology in patients with COPD. This is double-blind randomized pilot study.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of PATH-wSP, administered intramuscularly to healthy Kenyan adults and toddlers who have been primed with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). Additionally, the study will explore whether a measurable immune response is elicited when PATH-wSP is administered to healthy Kenyan adults and toddlers who have been primed with PCV.

Lung aspiration can occur when a rapid sequence induction of anesthesia is performed (emergency and/or presence of at least one risk factor for regurgitation of stomach contents). The aim of this study is to assess the Sellick maneuver, which is recommended for patient at high risk of aspiration of gastric content during induction of general anesthesia, despite the lack of solid evidence of its efficacy and possible adverse effects The primary outcome of this non inferiority study is the incidence of lung aspiration whether this maneuver is effectively applied or sham.
