Oral Antibiotics Alone in Children Aged 4 Weeks to 2 Months With a Urinary Tract Infection
Urinary Tract Infections in ChildrenThe goal of this prospective study is to investigate whether oral antibiotic therapy alone is feasible and safe in clinically stable children aged 4 weeks to 2 months without any past high-risk medical history with a suspected or confirmed urinary tract infection.
Evaluating UTI Outcomes in at Risk Populations
Urinary Tract InfectionsComplicated Urinary Tract InfectionThis is a multicenter, observational comparative cohort, study to evaluate the UTI related adverse event rates between Guidance® UTI clinical pathway versus the current traditional clinical pathways for urine testing.
Management of Acute Uncomplicated UTIs in Adults by Community Pharmacists
Urinary Tract InfectionsUrinary Tract Infection Lower AcuteThis study is to be conducted in community pharmacies. It involves the use of trained mystery patients to evaluate community pharmacists at baseline and post intervention. The pharmacists will be divided into control and intervention groups using computer generated codes. Those in the intervention group will receive an online training by clinical pharmacists. The training will employ the use of didactic teaching and the use of case studies and simulations covering the diagnosis and management of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adults. Post intervention, mystery patients will revisit the community pharmacists in the control and intervention groups for re-assessment.
Optimizing Clinical Use of Polymyxin B
PneumoniaBlood Stream Infection3 morePolymyxin B is already being used extensively in the USA and other parts of the world; its use is likely to rapidly increase due to the greater burden of infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria and the growing awareness of the limitations inherent in the clinical pharmacology of CMS/colistin. Cross resistance exists between the two polymyxins and thus both must be dosed optimally; but the recently generated scientifically-based dosage regimens for CMS/colistin cannot be extrapolated to polymyxin B. It is essential that an adequately powered study is conducted to define the clinical PK/PD/TD relationships of polymyxin B and identify, using next-generation proteomics, biomarkers for early detection of kidney injury. This will allow the development of scientifically-based dosage regimens for various categories of patients and an adaptive feedback control clinical tool for optimized dosing of polymyxin B in future individual patients.
Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs Administered to Children...
Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19)Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension23 moreThe study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.
Asymptomatic Bacteriuria, Urinalysis Abnormality at the Initiation of SGLT2 Inhibitors and UTI Risk...
Type2diabetesSGLT2 Inhibitor1 moreThe SGLT2 inhibitors have changed the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in recent years, especially in patients with cardiovascular or renal disease. However, the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and urinary tract infection (UTI) risk is controversial. Moreover, it is not known whether asymptomatic bacteriuria or urinalysis abnormality at the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors are risk factors for UTI in women. There is not enough data to recommend or not to recommend for performing urinalysis or urine culture test before initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of asymptomatic bacteriuria or urinalysis abnormality at the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors on UTI risk in a prospective cohort of women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Imipenem/Cilastatin/XNW4107 in Comparison With...
Complicated Urinary Tract Infection Including Acute PyelonephritisThis is A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Comparative, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Imipenem/Cilastatin/Funobactam in Comparison with Meropenem in Hospitalized Adults with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, including Acute Pyelonephritis.
Gentamicin Bladder Instillation in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Having Chronic Urinary Tract...
Neurogenic BladderSpinal Cord InjuriesParticipants will undergo daily gentamicin bladder instillations to determine if its use will reduce the rate of symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) as well as the use of oral and intravenous antibiotics in adults with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) who have recurrent UTIs. Participants are randomized into one of three groups: 1) Gentamicin and saline instillation 2) Saline only instillation 3) Standard of care, no instillation.
Fosfomycin i.v. for Treatment of Severely Infected Patients
Bacterial InfectionsBone Diseases19 moreThe purpose of this European, multicentric, prospective, non-interventional study is to document and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of severely infected patients with intravenously administered fosfomycin, including patients with osteomyelitis, complicated urinary tract infection, nosocomial lower respiratory tract infection, bacterial meningitis/central nervous system infection, bacteraemia/sepsis, skin and soft tissue infection, endocarditis or other infections, each as far as covered by the respective nationally relevant SmPC.
Cranberry Tablets Versus Nitrofurantoin Prophylaxis for Urinary Tract Infection Prevention After...
Urinary Tract InfectionsPelvic Organ Prolapse1 moreWe aim to compare the effectiveness of cranberry capsules versus nitrofurantoin prophylaxis in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) after urogynecologic surgery by conducting a double-blinded randomized clinical trial involving women with pelvic organ prolapse and/or urinary incontinence scheduled to have surgery with the Urogynecologists who comprise the Brigham and Women's Urogynecology Group.
