TD-1607, administered intravenously as multiple ascending doses, will be investigated in healthy subjects to assess its tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
A phase one study to characterize the pharmacokinetics of dalbavancin in pediatric patients aged 3 months to 11 years (inclusive) following the intravenous administration of a single dose of dalbavancin.
Antimicrobial penetration can be assessed through evaluation of antimicrobial concentrations in various lung compartments, including bronchial mucosal tissue, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophages (AM). Antimicrobial concentrations determined in ELF and alveolar macrophages represent an ideal estimate of concentrations at the site of infection and can be accessed via bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). However sampling of antimicrobial concentrations via BAL is not routine in clinical practice due to its complex methodology and poor patient tolerability. This study will evaluate intrapulmonary and plasma pharmacokinetics of GSK2140944 after single IV dose in adult healthy volunteers. This is a Phase I, open-label study to evaluate plasma and pulmonary pharmacokinetics following intravenous administration of GSK2140944 in healthy adult participants. Part A will evaluate the single dose PK profiles. Part B is optional and will only be conducted if necessary. Each part will consist of a maximum of 6 cohorts. In Part A, only 4 of the 6 cohorts will be dosed initially; cohorts 5 and 6 are optional and will only be dosed if additional time-points are necessary to adequately model the pulmonary pharmacokinetic profile.
We will compare the percentage of patients having therapeutic vancomycin serum concentrations after current standard dosing, after dosing with our software. We will also include therapeutic outcomes and costs in the analysis.
Helicobacter Pylori (HP) is one of the most common pathogens in humans. This infection can present in children with abdominal pain, vomiting and iron deficiency. The treatment is usually empiric and includes antibiotic treatment usually Amoxycillin and Clarithromycin or Metronidazole. Between 40 to 70 % of the pathogens are resistant to those drugs, and it is important to characterize the specific sensitivity of the pathogens in any specific area and in pediatric population. The aims of this study is to assess the sensitivity of HP in pediatric population in Northern Israel.
The main objective of the study is to investigate the impact of H. pylori infection on immune activation and clinical outcome in HIV patients. Other specific study objectives are: 1. To investigate the effects of H. pylori infection on immune activation and the T-cell profile in HIV positive patients and compare those with HIV negative controls. 2. To assess the influence of H. pylori infection on virological and immune parameters, and on clinical progression of HIV infection (WHO stage, opportunistic infections). 3. To assess the prevalence of H. pylori infection among HIV patients in the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. 4. To assess the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in HIV patients in Kumasi. 5. To assess the association of H. pylori infection with gastrointestinal symptoms and pathology in HIV patients. 6. To compare the clinical and immunological response to antiretroviral therapy and in HIV-patients with and without concomitant H. pylori infection.
RPX7009 (beta-lactamase inhibitor) is being studied in combination with a carbapenem (RPX2014) to treat bacterial infections, including those due to multi-drug resistant bacteria.
We propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Skin intervention, compared to an assessment-only condition (both groups receive rapid HIV testing, a review of testing results, and brief HIV prevention counseling) among 350 injection drug users recruited during an acute medical hospitalization at Boston Medical Center. In the general hospital setting, injection drug users who otherwise might not seek care are accessible and teachable, and the presence of a drug-related illness can set the stage for patients to be more receptive to interventions2. We hypothesize that the Skin intervention will produce better outcomes at 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month(s) post-intervention.
Objectives: Main objective: to assess the impact of an intervention for optimizing the dosing of colistin based on its plasma levels in patients with infections due to multi-drug resistant gram negative bacilli. The impact will be evaluated in terms of clinical and microbiological outcome, and toxicity. Secondary objectives: 1. To determine the percentage of patients reaching plasma levels considered adequate (Cmax / MIC 8-10) for the treatment of infections due to gram-negative bacilli susceptible to colistin, in the cohort of patients treated with standard doses of this drug without adjusting the dose. 2. To analyze the possible emergence of bacterial resistance to this drug and its relationship to the calculated colistin pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic indexes. Methods: Design: open controlled trial, blinded for the analyst, to be performed at thre tertiary care Hospitals in Barcelona. Subjects: Patients attended consecutively between 2012 and 2013 infected with multi-drug resistant gram negative bacilli and treated with colistin. Sample size: 142 cases. Intervention: Once detected the infection requiring treatment with colistin, patients will be randomized to receive the intervention or not, with a 1:1 ratio. The intervention will be performed by an Infectious Diseases physician and will consist in a recommendation on the dose of colistin based on its plasma levels 48 hours after treatment onset. Variables: peak and through colistin levels 48 hours after treatment onset, clinical, analytical and microbiological data at baseline and during follow-up of the patients. Outcome measures: clinical, microbiological and toxicity data. Analysis: Comparison of patient characteristics and outcome variables between patients who had received the intervention and those who had not. The analysis will be done by intention to treat, by biological effectiveness and by compliance with the protocol.
