TELI TON - Telithromycin in Tonsillitis

TonsillitisPharyngitis

This is a multinational, randomized (1:1), double blind, double dummy, comparator-controlled, 2 parallel treatment group study in subjects from 6 months to < 13 years of age, with Streptococcus pyogenes tonsillitis/pharyngitis (T/P).Each subject will receive either telithromycin 25 mg/kg once daily for 5 days or penicillin V, 13.3 mg/kg three times daily for 10 days. Matching placebo for telithromycin and penicillin V will also be dispensed for 5 and 10 days respectively, to provide blinding to the different treatment regimens. A positive rapid identification test for streptococcal Group A antigen will be required for all subjects at Visit 1 (Day 1) for entry into the study. Throat swab specimens for bacterial culture, identification, and antibiotic-susceptibility testing will be taken at Visits 1, 3 and 4.

Post-operative Pain Control After Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy

Recurrent TonsillitisObstructive Sleep Apnea2 more

Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the pediatric population in the United States. It is generally a well-tolerated procedure with post-operative bleeding risk ranging from 3-5% in children. Post-operative pain following adenotonsillectomy has significant morbidity and may result in prolonged hospital stay or re-admission to the hospital. Post-operative analgesia is most commonly managed with narcotic-containing pain medication. In recent years however, there is evidence that some patients may manifest increased sensitivity to narcotics, resulting in life-threatening respiratory compromise. Though there is a theoretical risk that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase bleeding time by disrupting platelet aggregation, evidence of detrimental effects (i.e. increased risk of postoperative bleeding) remains inconclusive for these generally well-tolerated medications. The goal of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative bleeding and to determine the efficacy of NSAIDs in the management of post-operative pain following pediatric adenotonsillectomy, versus more commonly used narcotic pain medication. The study design will be an initial retrospective study to collect pilot data on the incidence of postoperative hemorrhage and indicators of adequate/inadequate pain control in children age 4 to 17 undergoing adenotonsillectomy. This will be followed by a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled study in which orally-administered ibuprofen (test intervention) is compared to acetaminophen-hydrocodone (control intervention) in the postoperative period following adenotonsillectomy.

Bacteriophage Therapy in Tonsillitis

Acute Tonsillitis

The patients received bacteriophage therapy with a liquid piobacteriophage complex (liquid pyobacteriophage complex - PCL). PСL was administered via nebulizer inhalation to irrigate the tonsil mucosa. A total of 5 ml of PCL was inhaled for 10 minutes every 5 days. The drug causes the lysis of certain bacteria, including staphylococcus, enterococcus, streptococcus, enteropathogenic E. coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca. The choice of this drug was based on bacteriological studies.

TELI TAD - Telithromycin in Tonsillitis in Adolescents and Adults

TonsillitisPharyngitis

This is a multinational, randomized (1:1), double blind, comparator-controlled, 2 parallel treatment group study in subjects equal to or over 13 years of age, with Streptococcus pyogenes tonsillitis/pharyngitis (T/P). Each subject will receive either telithromycin, 400 mg over-encapsulated tablets, 800 mg once daily for 5 days or penicillin V 250 mg over-encapsulated tablets, 500 mg three times daily for 10days. Matching placebo capsules will be dispensed to maintain the blind between the treatment groups.A positive rapid identification test for streptococcal Group A antigen will be required for all subjects at Visit 1 (Day 1) for entry into the study. Throat swab specimens for bacterial culture, identification, and antibiotic-susceptibility testing will be taken at Visits 1, 3 and 4.
