Active clinical trials for "Trichomonas Infections"

This study aims to evaluate different screening strategies to decrease the burden of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among pregnant women, and reduce adverse birth outcomes. In turn it aims to evaluate the cost per pregnant woman screened and treated, cost of adverse birth outcomes, and cost-effectiveness per sexually transmitted infection (STI) and disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted. Furthermore, this study will incorporate a vaginal microbiome sub-study aimed to investigate the relationship between the vaginal microbiome and persistent Chlamydial infections in pregnant women. Aim 1 and 2: The intervention includes diagnostic testing at a woman's first antenatal care visit using the Xpert® platform with same-day treatment for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis and Trichomonas vaginalis infection with either a test-of-cure three weeks post-treatment (arm 1) or a repeat test at 30-34 weeks gestation (arm 2) compared to the standard of care, i.e. syndromic management (arm 3). Aim 3: Case-control study to investigate role vaginal microbiome in STI treatment outcomes

A prospective interventional study to evaluate a strategy of point-of-care testing for sexually transmitted infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, and Hepatitis B with comprehensive case management including partner notification in antenatal settings in Harare province, Zimbabwe.

We compare two oral tinidazole regimens for refractory trichomonas vaginitis.

The investigators are trying a combination vaginal product of higher dose metronidazole combined with miconazole to see if it is effective in treating vaginal trichomonas.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the 2 gram single dose of metronidazole is as effective as the 7 day 500 mg BID dose for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among HIV-infected women.

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, delayed treatment, double-blind, study to evaluate the effectiveness, and safety of a single, oral dose of Solosec® containing 2 grams of secnidazole in female patients with trichomoniasis.

The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Roxane Laboratories' Tinidazole 500 mg Tablet under fed conditions.

The overall goal of this project is to determine the influence of patient treatment and host factors on repeat Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections among HIV-negative women

Malaria in pregnancy has devastating consequences for mother and foetus. WHO recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for asymptomatic women, but high-level parasite resistance to SP threatens its efficacy. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) has the potential to replace SP for IPTp. However, the DP strategy has not been found to be superior to SP for reducing the incidence of low birthweight (LBW), small-for-gestational age (SGA), or preterm birth. This may be the result of sulphadoxine having antibacterial properties; it is derived from sulphonamide, which have been used for decades to treat curable STIs/RTIs. However, SP is unlikely to be curative of STIs/RTIs, nor highly effective against malaria parasites. Thus, combination treatment that contains a more efficacious antimalarial and a more efficacious anti-STI/RTI may produce better birth outcomes. The investigators will therefore determine whether combining SP with metronidazole (MTZ) or, separately, DP with MTZ can improve birth outcomes more than SP alone, potentially paving the way for integrated control strategies that will reduce the dual burden of malaria and curable STIs/RTIs. This is an individually-randomized, 3-arm, partially-placebo controlled superiority trial comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerance of IPTp-SP versus IPTp-SP with MTZ, or IPTp-DP with MTZ to reduce adverse birth outcomes attributable to malaria and curable STIs/RTIs in 5,436 women in the Nchelenge District of Zambia.

To evaluate the efficacy of the adapted program a randomized controlled trial enrolling 620 eligible African American men who have sex with men (MSM) will be conducted. Men in the treatment condition will be compared to men receiving the control condition comprised of standard of care counseling from the clinic plus a free bag of condoms and water-based lubricants. This two-arm trial will test four hypotheses: Aim: To test the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based and theory-guided, intervention designed to reduce STD incidence and risk of HIV acquisition/transmission among young African American men (15-29 years old) having sex with men and presenting for STD testing. H1. Men randomized to receive the intervention will have a lower incidence rate of laboratory-confirmed STDs at each of three follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H2. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report significantly fewer acts of unprotected penetrative sex (penile-vaginal or penile-anal) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H3. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer unprotected penetrative sex partners (for penile-vaginal or penile-anal sex) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H4. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer negative experiences with condom use between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H5. Men randomized to receive the intervention will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in condom application skills, throughout the 12-month study, compared to those receiving the control condition.
