Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, global Phase 3 study of IV to oral TR-701 FA 200 mg once daily for 6 days versus IV to oral Zyvox® (linezolid) 600 mg every 12 hours for 10 days for the treatment of ABSSSI in adults. Patients are to start treatment with at least 2 IV doses and may receive IV therapy for the entire treatment duration. Approximately 100 to 140 sites globally will participate in this study. Patients with an ABSSSI caused by suspected or documented gram positive pathogen(s) at baseline will be randomized 1:1 to study treatment.
The study compared the magnitude of the antibody response and safety of a GBS Trivalent Vaccine in HIV positive and HIV negative pregnant women and their offspring. In addition the study investigated the maternal to fetal transfer of antibodies induced by the investigational vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness(immunogenicity) and safety of 'GC1107' administered intramuscularly in healthy children
The purpose of this study is to measure drug levels of doripenem in blood samples collected before and after administration of doripenem to infants less than 12 weeks of age who are hospitalized and documented, presumed to have, or are at risk for bacterial infection (s) and are undergoing treatment with intravenous (i.v.) antibiotics. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well levofloxacin works in preventing infection in young patients with acute leukemia receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant. Giving antibiotics may be effective in preventing or controlling early infection in patients receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant for acute leukemia. It is not yet known whether levofloxacin is effective in preventing infection.
This study will determine whether participants who receive the vaccine V419 at 2, 3, 4, and 12 months of age have an acceptable immune response to the vaccine. The study will also determine whether the immune response to V419 is similar to that of participants who receive a licensed vaccine control.
This study will determine whether three manufacturing lots of V419 (PR5I) induce similar immune responses to all of the antigens contained in V419 when given concomitantly with Prevnar13™ and RotaTeq™.
Severe bacterial infections are associated with mortality of about 30%. Patients with moderate to severe bacterial infections given early and appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment are at a lesser risk for a fatal outcome, with odds ratios ranging from 1.6 to 6.9. However only about 2/3 of patients worldwide are given early and appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment. About 40% of patients treated with antibiotics are given superfluous treatment. TREAT is a computerized decision support system for antibiotic treatment in inpatients with common bacterial infections. TREAT is based on a state of the art stochastic model of the domain (a causal probabilistic network) and uses a cost benefit model for antibiotic treatment, including costs assigned to future resistance. It was tested in a randomized controlled trial in 3 countries and shown to improve the percentage of appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment while at the same time reduce hospital stay and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The main limitation of TREAT is inherent in the limited information available within hours of presentation. A second attractive approach to improve antibiotic treatment is to use techniques that do not depend on cultures, and thus shorten the time to identification of the pathogen to a few hours only. The LightCycler® SeptiFast test from Roche performs in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for pathogens causing bloodstream infections. The purpose of the clinical trial is to show that the combined system TREAT/PCR assays will improve the outcome of inpatients with moderate to severe bacterial infections, while at the same time reducing the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, with no or little additional costs. A secondary objective will be to assess the sensitivity and specificity of whole blood PCR, using TREAT as the reference standard.
This is a study to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V419 (PR5I) when administered as an infant series at 2, 4, and 6 months of age followed by a toddler dose of DAPTACEL™, Prevnar 13™ and PedvaxHIB™ at 15 months of age. The study will determine whether subjects who receive V419 have a similar immune response to the vaccine compared to subjects who receive licensed component vaccine controls.
The object of the study is to investigate whether all included patients receive treatment that is effective against all bacteria that are defined as sensitive to meropenem with the current treatment regimen. Will the investigators findings motivate routine monitoring of plasma concentrations in children receiving meropenem? Up to 50 patients will be included in the study, and all participants are children.
