Active clinical trials for "Urinary Tract Infections"

This is a study in adult subjects with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) comparing treatment with intravenous (IV) coadministered ceftaroline fosamil and NXL104 versus treatment with IV doripenem.

The purpose of this study is to understand the utilization patterns of doripenem in Asia Pacific, including the profile of the patients treated with carbapenems.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftazidime Avibactam compared to Doripenem for treating hospitalized patients with complicated urinary tract infections, including acute pyelonephritis

The objective of the study is to assess safety and impact of a non-antibiotic therapy approach with Canephron® N in the management strategy of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Researchers want to find out if a drug called Cipro® XR (ciprofloxacin extended-release) can help people with a complicated urinary tract infection caused by a kind of bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study doctor will give Cipro XR to some people to see if it is safe and works to treat complicated urinary tract infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study doctor will also gather information about using Cipro XR to treat complicated urinary tract infections caused by other bacteria. About 500 people with complicated urinary tract infections who are 18 years old and older will join this study. Cipro XR is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidney). The dose of Cipro XR used in this study (1000 mg a day for 7 to 14 days), has been shown to be safe and effective. This study is being done to gather more information on using this dose of Cipro XR for complicated urinary tract infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as by other bacteria.

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of oral levofloxacin (an antibiotic) with that of oral ciprofloxacin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections in adults.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ertapenem sodium as initial therapy for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis in indian adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a single application of Lidocaine gel topical anesthesia is as effective in decreasing the discomfort associated with urinary catheterization as two applications, within our pediatric population. Currently, two applications is our standard of care within our pediatric Radiology Department. Urinary catheterization is the process of placing a flexible tube into the urinary opening (urethra), to drain urine or instill radiographic solution for study of the anatomy and/or function of the urinary system. Members of the study team hypothesize equivalence in the observer reported catheterization pain scores as measured by the FLACC pain scale. The study is designed to obtain conclusive data to guide clinical practice. The study team hypothesizes that statistically similar levels of analgesia will be observed with the single application procedure as compared to the multiple application technique.

The purpose of study is to determine whether cranberry juice interacts with antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The purpose of this research study is to determine what the cure rates are with a 5 day course of nitrofurantoin versus the more standard 3 day course of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazone. The study will improve our knowledge of which antibiotic and what length of therapy is best for treatment of UTI, taking into account the problem of antibiotic resistance. Procedures subjects will undergo once they have read and signed the consent are: Questions about their medical and sexual history and current symptoms of UTI. They will be asked to provide a urine sample and then randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. will be obtained at each visit. If they were assigned to the nitrofurantoin treatment regimen, they will also be asked to collect a urine sample at home on the third day. If the subject develops recurrent urinary symptoms or does not have resolution of symptoms after completing the initial treatment course, they will be asked to return to the clinic and provide another urine sample for analysis. They will then be treated with another standard antibiotic at no cost to them and will be withdrawn from the study at that time. The study population is women ages 18-45 with acute symptoms of a UTI without a history of UTI in the past 6 weeks.
