Filter by:The objective of this study is to conduct a population pharmacokinetic analysis of caspofungin in a population of patients with moderate and severe acute alcoholic hepatitis or liver disease with Child-Pugh score B and C in order to better characterize pharmacokinetic parameters in case of moderate and severe liver dysfunction.
A study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of solithromycin capsules in adolescents
This study is being conducted to confirm that GSK1322322 has no negative impact on hormone levels and contraceptive efficacy when co-administered with a frequently prescribed oral contraceptive thereby to facilitate the use of GSK1322322 in women of child-bearing potential receiving oral contraceptive (OC) pre-infection. This study is designed to investigate steady-state plasma ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norethindrone (NE) pharmacokinetic (PK) following administration of Ortho-Novum (EE/NE) 1 tablet every 24 hours (q24h) fed with and without GSK1322322 1500 milligram (mg) q12h fed. Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 12 weeks: a 30 day screening period, 4-week run-in period, three 7 day treatment periods, and a 3-5 day follow-up period. The study is planned to enroll approximately 24 subjects (18 active/6 placebo).
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.
The aim of this project is to test the utility of The Gene Z device (as of 2018 Gene Z no longer being used) and other rapid identification techniques that the investigators have developed in the lab on clinically obtained bodily fluid samples taken from patients with suspected infection or sepsis based on having three of four positive Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome markers, or having a known infection for which a specimen is being collected. Specimens will be collected by Sparrow Laboratories and McLaren Greater Lansing laboratories, processed and stored for analysis at a later date to determine if the microbial pathogens identified by current methods of culture, as well as pathogen susceptibility to antibiotics by culture results, can be identified by the GeneZ technology or other developed technology accurately, and more timely. It will not affect current patient care nor impact patient care, which will continue in the standard fashion today for sepsis. Results will be compared to standard culture results and antibiotic sensitivities.
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.
