Filter by: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.

Primary Series Primary objectives - To demonstrate that the concomitant administration of the hexavalent vaccine with a meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccine is non inferior to the administration of the hexavalent vaccine without a MenC vaccine concomitantly in term of seroprotection rate for hepatitis B one month after the third dose of the hexavalent vaccine - To demonstrate that the concomitant administration of a MenC vaccine with the hexavalent vaccine induces an acceptable response for MenC in term of seroprotection rate (SPR) one month after the second dose of MenC Booster Primary objectives - To describe the immunogenicity of a booster dose of the hexavalent vaccine and of a meningococcal group ACWY conjugate (MenACWY) vaccine either co-administered at 12 months of age or given separately.
Patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) suffer from episodes of acute exacerbations leading to additional morbidity and mortality, and also a further decline in lung function. It has been well-established that bacterial colonization is prevalent in COPD, especially in moderate to severe COPD, and airway bacterial colonization is known to play an important role in the development of pneumonia and exacerbations. On the other way, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and long acting β2 agonist (LABA) were recommended in the treatment of moderate to severe COPD. Though there were some evidences that ICS had some protective effects on airway mucosa against bacteria invasion, the locally immunosuppressive effects of ICS is still a concern. Indeed, the incidence of pneumonia was higher than the control group, not only in the Towards a Revolution in COPD Health (TORCH) study but also in various studies and meta-analyses.We hypothesized that airway bacteria colonization is associated with disease severity, and that disease status can be identified by CAT (COPD assessment test)scores and changes of CAT scores. We therefore conducted this prospective, observational study in which CAT scores and sputum cultures were assessed in moderate to severe COPD patients with the combination therapy of ICS and LABA every three months during the study period. The primary end-point is the condition of potential pathogenic microorganisms (PPM) colonization in view of CAT scores. The second end-point was the changes of PPM colonization in association with CAT changes during follow-up. By the mean of CAT follow-up, it could possibly provide a surrogate about the risk of exacerbation and pneumonia under the combination therapy of ICS and LABA.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK1322322 following intravenous (IV) and oral administration. GSK1322322 shows broad spectrum antibacterial activity against pathogens involved in respiratory tract infections as well as methicillin-resistant S. Aureus (MRSA). This study consists of three parts (Part A, Part B and Part C). The results from Part A of this study will enable use of large-scale, commercial tablets produced for administration to patients in pivotal clinical trials of GSK1322322. The results from Parts B and C will support enrolment of Japanese subjects in future clinical studies. Additionally, the results will support the dose selection for further clinical development of GSK1322322 in hospitalized patients with severe bacterial infections in Japan and other Asian populations. In Part A, subjects will undergo screening, 4 treatment periods receiving single dose of each of: 1500 mg Initial, fit-for-purpose tablet (product code AP), 1500 mg Over granulated tablet (product code AR), and the 1500 mg and 2000 mg of intended commercial tablets (product code AU). In Part B of the study subjects will undergo screening, and be randomized to receive 3 doses of GSK1322322 oral cohort (100 mg, 1500 mg and 2000 mg) or IV cohort (600 mg, 900 mg and 1200 mg) each in 3 treatment periods. Part C will be a single-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat dose study of GSK1322322 in healthy Japanese male subjects. GSK1322322 will be administered (fasted) via IV for 4 days BID, followed by administration of GSK1322322 orally (fed) for 6 days BID. A follow-up evaluation will be conducted 7-10 days following last dose of for each subjects in each Part of the study. Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled in each part of the study such that approximately 8, 6, and 9 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments in part A,B, and C respectively.
This randomized phase III trial studies chlorhexidine gluconate cleansing to see how well it works compared to control cleansing in preventing central line associated bloodstream infection and acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms in younger patients with cancer or undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Chlorhexidine gluconate may help reduce bloodstream infections and bacterial infections associated with the central line.
This feasibility study will allow for the determination of the in vivo recovery and time of dialysis to optimize a future thorough microdialysis study. This is a single session, open label study to evaluate the feasibility of microdialysis for Retapamulin in healthy subjects. Three healthy subjects will be enrolled and complete the study procedures. Subjects will be admitted to the research unit on Day 1 and three microdialysis probes will be placed in the thigh of each subject prior to the start of the microdialysis procedure. After normal saline solution infusion for 30 minutes, a Retapamulin solution will be infused for 90 minutes. Saline perfusion will occur during the washout period. Microdialysis sampling will be done for 30 minutes (during the last 30 minutes of drug perfusion) and dialysate sample collection will continue every 30 minutes for 4 hours. The approximate duration of study including follow-up is 4 days.
