Active clinical trials for "Pyelonephritis"

This study is a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety, when nacubactam is coadministered with cefepime or aztreonam, compared with best available therapy (BAT), in the treatment of patients with cUTI, AP, HABP, VABP, and cIAI, due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales.

Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cefepime/nacubactam or aztreonam/nacubactam compared to imipenem/cilastatin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) or acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis (AP).

Antibiotic therapies currently recommended for the treatment of acute pyelonephritis (AP) in children, whether fully by the oral route or initially intravenous (IV, 3 days) followed by the oral route, have a duration of 7 to 14 days (10 days in France). In children with no prior urological malformation, the global clinical and microbiological cure rate after antibiotic treatment completion is around 95%. Recurrence occurs in less than 5% of cases in the 3 months following AP. Renal scarring, when documented, concerns 15% of children 6 months after treatment. Renal scarring can be associated with chronic renal disease. The investigators hypothesize that 3 days of IV treatment is equivalent to extending to 10 days with an oral therapy to prevent long-term renal scarring. The investigators also hypothesize that while achieving equivalent clinical and microbiological success, and prevention of re-infections in the following 3 months, 3 days of IV treatment reduces the risk of acquisition of resistant strains of Enterobacteriaceae and increases the gut microbotia diversity compared to extending to 10 days with an oral therapy.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of FEP-ZID vs. meropenem in the treatment of hospitalized adults with cUTI or AP. Approximately 528 hospitalized adult subjects (≥ 18 years of age) diagnosed with cUTI or AP will be enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of cUTI or AP will be based on a combination of clinical symptoms and signs plus the presence of pyuria. The total duration of treatment with study drug is 7 to 10 days. Each subject must remain hospitalized during the study drug treatment period; no outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy is allowed.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequently occurring serious bacterial infection in young children and accounts 5 to 14% of emergency department visits Formation of renal scarring in children has been associated with serious complications as hypertension, preeclampsia, and end stage renal failure in young age . So, this study aims to determine whether dexamethasone reduces the renal scarring in children will be treated with antibiotics for acute pyelonephritis. investigators propose to conduct a multi center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, that will evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone (0.3 mg/kg every 12 hours per day orally for 3 days) in preventing renal scarring in young febrile children (2 months to 14 years) with a first-diagnosed UTI. 120 Participants will be enrolled over a 3-year period from 6 sites.

This is an open-label, randomized, multi-center, interventional, active-controlled Phase 4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAZ-AVI versus BAT in the treatment of infected participants with selected infection types (Hospital Acquired Pneumonia [HAP] (including Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [VAP]); Complicated Urinary-Tract Infection [cUTI]; Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection [cIAI]; Bloodstream Infection [BSI]) due to carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens in China.This study will be an estimation study. The statistical inference will be based on point estimate and confidence interval.

The investigators propose a new imaging method for children born with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract that is a rapid, injection-, sedation-, and radiation-free alternative: the quick renal MRI. This proposal hypothesizes that the quick renal MRI has high validity compared to current radiologic standard for renal infection and scarring, the 99mTechnetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc- DMSA) renal scan in the detection of acute renal infections and scars. If the quick renal MRI is accurate, it could potentially replace the DMSA scan for those specific questions and ease the burden of testing for children with chronic renal disease. Findings from these studies will provide preliminary data and rationale for a multi-centered study to further test this new technology. Participants will be 0-21 years of age and can expect to be on study for from 1 week (if enrolled in Aim 1) to 6 months (if enrolled in Aim 2).

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral TBP-PI-HBr as compared with intravenous (IV) imipenem-cilastatin with respect to the overall response (combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit in hospitalized adult participants (≥18 years of age) with cUTI or AP.

Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. In kidney transplant recipients (KTR) urinary tract infection (UTI) represent 45-72% of all infections, and 30% of all hospitalizations for sepsis. Acute transplant pyelonephritis are the most common complications occurring in more than 20% of patients, mainly in the first year after transplantation. They are associated with an increased risk of acute kidney rejection and long-term kidney graft dysfunction. Gram-negative bacteria, mainly E. coli, account for more than 70% of UTI in KTR. As those infections are favoured by urinary tract modifications/defects and immunosuppression, they are often recurrent and necessitate repeated courses of antibiotics. Selective pressure due to antibiotic consumption, along with frequent hospital admissions and immunosuppression, are well known risk factors for the development of antibiotic resistant infections. Multidrug (MDR)- or extensively (XDR)- drug resistant Enterobacteriaceae including ESBL- or carbapenemase-producing organisms, are thus increasingly observed in transplant units and represent a global threat as very few new antibiotics are expected in the next decade. One main strategy to limit antimicrobial resistance is to reduce the duration of antibiotic treatment. A 7 day-course is recommended for simple acute pyelonephritis (APN) treated with fluoroquinolones or parenteral B-lactams, prolonged up to 10 or 14 days in the presence of underlying disease at risk of complications. Most KT teams treat patients between 14-21 days as recommended by American guidelines. However, the need to extend treatment duration in immunosuppressed patients is a poorly defined concept and the optimal duration of treatment for APN in KTR is not known as these patients are excluded from most studies. As there is an urgent need to reduce antibiotic consumption in this population at high risk of developing infections due to resistant pathogens, the hypothesis is that a 7 day-treatment is sufficient to cure APN with good clinical response after 48h of treatment in KTR and is as effective as 14 days.

This is A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Comparative, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Imipenem/Cilastatin/Funobactam in Comparison with Meropenem in Hospitalized Adults with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, including Acute Pyelonephritis.
