Active clinical trials for "Urinary Tract Infections"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a tailored multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention reduces antibiotic use for urinary tract infections in residential care homes and nursing homes attended by general practitioners. This will be evaluated in a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial using a modified community-based participatory action research approach.

The purpose of this study is to compare antibiotics versus no-treatment in kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Urinalysis and urine culture are commonly employed laboratory tests in the Emergency Department (ED), particularly for the purposes of investigating febrile infants in whom bacterial etiologies must be ruled out. The standard of care for obtaining sterile urine specimens in this age group remains transurethral bladder catheterization, an invasive procedure that is painful and has the potential for causing specimen contamination and iatrogenic urinary tract infection (UTI). A recent study by Herreros Fernández et al (2013) described a novel bladder stimulation technique for newborns that facilitates midstream urine collection. The success rate for this procedure was 86.3%. It remains unknown however as to whether this technique is reproducible amongst infants who present to the ED with a potentially greater severity of illness. The primary objective of this study is to determine the success rate of this technique in children ≤ 90 days old in the ED.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is a condition in which bacteria are detected in urine culture without urinary symptoms. The inappropriate use of antibiotic treatment for AB selects bacterial flora to express resistance mutations. Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use for AB is difficult, since the microbiology laboratory cannot distinguish patients with AB. The investigators study will use a restricted laboratory report requesting the physician to call the laboratory for culture results. The restricted report may reduce the rate of inappropriate treatment of AB.

To demonstrate non-inferiority of a non-antibiotic therapy with CLR versus an antibiotic treatment with fosfomycin trometamol in women suffering from acute lower uUTIs as measured by the proportion of patients who received an additional antibiotic treatment for acute lower uUTIs during the trial.

In this protocol, the investigators are examining the use of a novel pathogen testing technology and method of identification of antibiotic susceptibility against the conventional C & S testing for patients with both complicated and uncomplicated UTIs. The investigators will examine the two modes in terms of objective patient related outcomes, i.e. 1) diagnostic accuracy and degree of detail of final analysis; 2) time to resolution of symptoms; 3) quality of life as defined by particularly symptomology and "bothersomeness" of the symptoms; and 4) overall cost.

The purpose of this study is to verify that the incidence rate of urinary tract infections after a routine outpatient cystoscopy is the same for non-sterile (clean) and sterile procedural techniques.

TEMO-CARB is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, multicentre, open-label pragmatic clinical trial to test the non-inferiority of temocillin versus carbapenem as initial intravenous treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing enterobacteriaceae.

Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study of cefepime 2 g/AAI101 500 mg combination compared to piperacillin 4 g/tazobactam 500 mg in a population of adult patients with cUTI or AP. The study will be conducted in approximately 115 sites located in the EU, the US, Central, South America and South Africa.

Phase 2, randomised, double-blind, 2-cohort study in hospitalised adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis. All study cohorts were randomised in a 2:1 ratio. Treatment duration for each cohort was 7 to 10 days. Patients were not permitted to switch to oral therapy. Cohort 1: 15 patients treated with cefepime 1 g/AAI101 500 mg intravenous (i.v.) infusion over 2 hours once every 8 hours (q8h), and 7 patients treated with cefepime 1 g i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h. Cohort 2: 15 patients treated with cefepime 2 g/AAI101 750 mg i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h, and 8 patients treated with cefepime 2 g i.v. infusion over 2 hours q8h.
