Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if the daily intake of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri prevents antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and related Clostridium difficile infections in children and adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose response effect of probiotic capsules for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bio-K+ CL-1285 in the prevention of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea (AAD) and Clostridum difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) in hospitalized patients exposed to nosocomial infection.
Prospective randomized double-blind study on the effect of prebiotics (inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides) in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in children.
Diarrhea is a common side effect of antibiotics; it may prolong hospital stay, increase the risk of other infections, develop into more serious forms of disease, and lead to premature discontinuation of the needed antibiotic. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of a capsule containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in the prevention of diarrhea associated with antibiotic use.
The purpose of this study is to know the efficacy of the treatment with probiotics, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium breve, on clinical evidences and occurence of relapses on antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if ingestion of a probiotic formula (Jarrow-Dophilus EPS)reduces incidence of diarrhea and improves the quality of life of patients receiving antibiotic therapy.
Approximately 24 patients will be entered into this study taking place in Canada. The aim of this study is to determine if an investigational drug is absorbed (taken up) in patients with C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). The investigational drug will be given in addition to current standard antibiotic treatment so that all patients will receive active medication. All study related care is provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests, and study medication. The total length of participation is approximately 7 days.
What is the difference between the use of one drug (Oral Metronidazole) versus the use of this same drug combined with another drug (Rifampin) in treatment of bacteria and infection-associated diarrhea in patients? This infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in both the community and hospitals, and the leading cause of hospital and chronic facility-acquired diarrhea. Research is important for the treatment of this infection. Patient care with use of two medication treatment regimens will be studied.
Approximately 300 patients will be entered into this study taking place throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This study aims to determine if an investigational drug is safe and effective for treating the symptoms of C. difficile-associated diarrhea and lowering the risk of repeat episodes of diarrhea. The investigational drug will be evaluated in comparison to current standard antibiotic treatment, so all patients will receive active medication. All study-related care is provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests and study medication. Total length of participation is approximately 10 weeks.
