Active clinical trials for "Peritonitis"

This is a phase 3b/4 randomized, open-label, comparative, multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of tigecycline to ceftriaxone sodium plus metronidazole in hospitalized subjects with cIAI (Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection). Subjects with clinical signs and symptoms of cIAI will be included for enrollment. Subjects will be stratified at randomization for Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation scale (APACHE II) score < 10 and > 10. Subjects will be followed for efficacy through the test-of-cure assessment. Safety evaluations will occur through the treatment and post-treatment periods and continue through resolution or stability of the adverse event(s).

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical response rates of doripenem versus a comparator antibiotic in treatment of hospitalized patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections.

Intravenous administration of lidocaine perioperatively after laparotomy for peritonitis could be an interesting alternative by reducing the duration of postoperative ileus, the intensity of pain and the patient's hospital stay, as well as the cost of management in our context of lack of financial, technical and human resources, hence the present study.

Intra-peritoneal administration of antibiotics covering both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms was recommended as first-line regimen for the management of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis. Oral administration of quinolones can also achieve effective serum concentrations, and is more convenient and economical. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled study to compare the effects on peritonitis cure and relapsing rates between oral moxifloxacin plus IP vancomycin and conventional IP vancomycin plus ceftazidime.

The aim of the project was to optimalize the process in severe peritonitis which is generally inflicted with high mortality and morbidity with long term costly therapy. Therapy of severe intraabdominal infection consist of treatment of the infection site and following closure of the abdominal cavity with possibility of re-laparotomy and in treatment of complications when needed; or closure introduction of laparostomy with intention to control complications prevention however with risk of tertiary peritonitis. Modern process is laparostomy with active suction (VAC) method which reduces the risk of tertiary peritonitis. It efficacy is however approved especially in therapy of complications. Based on the investigators experiences the investigators use this method even in case of primary treatment of severe peritonitis which led to protocol processing (VAC in case of primary closure of the abdominal cavity; VAC exchange according to scoring system; secondary closure of the abdominal cavity or early coverage with collagen mesh). The aim of this project is to prove reduced mortality, morbidity and hospitalization length (cost reduction) in prospective randomized study in patients treated due to severe peritonitis using VAC method in comparison to classical approach (primary closure of the abdominal cavity; secondary solution of complications).

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a serious complication in cirrhotic patients, and the changes in the microbiological characteristics reported in the last years are impacting the choice of antibiotic used in the treatment. Cefotaxime has been the most extensively studied antibiotic for this infection. It is considered to be one of the first choice antibiotics because of low toxicity and excellent efficacy. Treatment of SBP by intravenous cefotaxime should be administered for a minimum 5 days. Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms have been increasingly reported especially to cefotaxime and its effect on the clinical outcome in treating SBP.

We wish to perform a multicenter, double-blind RCT with two parallel-group stratified on the center, comparing rifaximin to no rifaximin (placebo) for the primary prophylaxis of SBP in 'severe' cirrhotic patients with large ascites. The primary outcome will be the 12-month survival.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Rheosorbilact®, solution for infusion ("Yuria-Pharm" LLC), in comparison with Ringer's Lactate, solution for infusion, in a complex therapy of peritonitis. Half of participants will receive Rheosorbilact® in complex therapy, while the other half will receive Ringer's Lactate in complex therapy.

The main infectious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is bacterial peritonitis, which increases morbidity, mortality and conversion to hemodialysis. In Mexico, 485 patients per million people undergo PD. The Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) reported 55,101 patients with kidney failure, 59% on PD. Automated PD (APD) has contributed by reducing peritonitis. The treatment of peritonitis in APD is carried out by changing to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or by adding a CAPD/day replacement, increasing costs and delaying treatment. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of peritonitis antibiotic treatment applied in a DPA bag versus applied in a CAPD/day replacement plus APD in IMSS beneficiaries. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A non-inferiority, multicenter clinical trial was carried out with patients> 18 years of age in APD with peritonitis. Group 1 (g1) receives antibiotics in DPA bags, group 2 (g2) receives antibiotics in a CAPD / day exchange plus APD. The antibiotics applied were ceftazidime 1500 mg / day 14 days and vancomycin 20 mg / kg every 3 days, 5 doses adjusted according to culture, followed by cytology every 48 hours until clinical resolution. Considering resolved peritonitis when symptoms disappeared and white blood cells <100 cells / mm3 were obtained in cytology. The Research and Ethics Committee approved the study. Relative risk (RR), relative risk reduction (RRR) were calculated. The Chi squared test, Student's t test, non-inferiority analysis was calculated considering p <0.05 significant, SPSS 24 and Epi Info were used.

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the a prior hypothesis that treatment with icodextrin during acute peritonitis would improve the treatment outcomes of peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis. The safety and effectiveness of icodextrin for decreasing glucose exposure, extent and severity of peritonitis will be evaluated in the setting of acute peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis among patients who are not receiving icodextrin.
