GSK2251052 in Complicated Urinary Tract Infection
InfectionsUrinary TractThis study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, efficacy (clinical and microbiological), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of GSK2251052 and to assess whether it would be a suitable antibiotic for the treatment for febrile lower cUTI and pyelonephritis(complicated and uncomplicated). GSK2251052 will be compared to imipenem-cilastatin, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat serious cUTI infections. GSK2251052 has a spectrum of microbiological activity that includes pathogens responsible for cUTI.
Bacteriuria and Indwelling Urinary Catheter.
Bacteriuria AsymptomaticUrinary Tract InfectionsInvestigation of 1. The incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria during four weeks after removal of an IUC in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years compared with the incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria among inpatients not treated with an IUC and 2. For how long does ABU persist in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years during a follow-up time of four weeks after IUC-removal?
Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Infection by Resistant Microorganism
PneumoniaBloodstream Infection9 moreThe goal of this individual patient data meta-analysis is to estimate the attributed and the associated health burden related to bloodstream infections, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, surgical site infections and urinary tract infections, caused by target drug-resistant pathogens, in high income countries. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Are common infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens associated with an increased health burden, when compared with individuals with the same infection caused by a susceptible strain (attributed burden)? Are common infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens associated with an increase health burden, when compared with individuals without the infection under study (associated burden)?
Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Urinary Catheter Removal After Radical Prostatectomy
Prostate CancerUrinary Tract Infection1 moreThe aim of this study is to determine whether antibiotics prophylaxis at the time of urinary catheter removal decreases the number of symptomatic urinary tract infections in patients after radical prostatectomy. In addition, the investigators aim to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis is potentially harmful to patients (e.g. adverse reactions from antibiotic use, resistant bacteria in the urine, Clostridium difficile infections etc.). The investigators also aim to identify specific populations that may be at higher risk of developing urinary tract infections with urinary catheter use after radical prostatectomy.
Antibiotic Prophylaxis to Prevent Post-procedure UTI After VCUG
Antibiotic ProphylaxisVoiding Cystourethrogram1 moreThe current practice of pre-VCUG antibiotic prophylaxis is highly variable. A recent unpublished survey of Society of Fetal Urologists (SFU) completed by this study team found that 87% of respondents reported having patients who develop fUTI following VCUG, with 30% of respondents prophylaxing for fUTI in patients undergoing VCUG. The current lack of best practice guidelines regarding antibiotic prophylaxis prior to VCUG due to low quality of current literature, and a growing concern around risks of unnecessary antibiotic exposure suggests the need for an RCT. The results of this pilot trial will inform the ability to conduct a definitive RCT on this important subject. The results of the definitive trial would have important clinical and economic implications.
Preventing Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections With α-D-mannose
Urinary Tract InfectionsIn this trial, women with history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) will be followed over the course of 6 months. The women will be randomized either to D- Mannose or Placebo. The primary objective of this study is to investigate if treatment with D-mannose reduces the risk for a UTI recurrence compared to treatment with Placebo. H0: Women with history of recurrent UTIs treated with D-Mannose on average have the same number of recurrent UTIs over the course of 6 months compared to women treated with Placebo. H1: Women with history of recurrent UTIs treated with D-Mannose on average have fewer recurrent UTIs over the course of 6 months compared to women treated with Placebo.
GSM (Genitourinary Syndrome Of Menopause) Management In Breast Cancer Survivors
Genitourinary AbnormalityBreast Cancer Female4 moreThe impact of treatment for GSM on the quality of life will be examined for postmenopausal women (defined as last menstrual period > 1 year ago or 6 months ago with FSH >40) who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Clinical Trial to Study the Safety and Effectiveness of MK0826 and Other Antibiotic Therapy in Patients...
Urinary Tract InfectionsThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate that MK0826 is comparable to Meropenem in the treatment of complicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in adults.
Study of Cefiderocol (S-649266) or Best Available Therapy for the Treatment of Severe Infections...
Healthcare-associated Pneumonia (HCAP)Bloodstream Infections (BSI)4 moreThis study is designed to provide evidence of efficacy of cefiderocol in the treatment of serious infections in adult patients caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.
Study of Ceftolozane/Tazobactam (MK-7625A) in Japanese Participants With Uncomplicated Pyelonephritis...
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)Complicated Urinary Tract Infection2 moreThis is a Phase 3, multi-site, non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of MK-7625A 1.5 g (ceftolozane 1 g/tazobactam 0.5 g) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) including pyelonephritis (uncomplicated or complicated pyelonephritis and complicated lower urinary tract infection) in Japanese participants. Efficacy will be primarily assessed by microbiological response defined as eradication of the baseline pathogen or pathogens.
