Filter by:Aim of the study is to verify whether Polymyxin-B hemoperfusion protects from renal dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis from gram negative infection.
To determine the pharmacokinetic profile and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending multiple doses of tigecycline in patients aged 8 to 11 years with selected serious infections; complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI), or community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
This is an antibiotic intervention study to determine the value of using piperacillin/tazobactam in reducing the cases of ESBL producing E. coli or K. pneumoniae colonization and infection.
1. To determine the value of using piperacillin/tazobactam in reducing the cases of extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL) producing E. coli or K. pneumoniae colonization and infection. 2. To determine the acquisition rate of ESBL producing E. coli or K. pneumoniae, both pre-and post-intervention in the selected medical centers.
The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled intervention trial conducted in 9 centers, comparing a conventional strategy versus a PCT-guided strategy to start or to discontinue antibiotics, in patients with suspected community or hospital- acquired infection.
This proposed study aims to document the risk factors for quinolone resistance in bloodstream isolates of E. coli. Additionally, the adequacy of empiric antibiotic therapy for E. coli bloodstream infections will be assessed. Finally, outcome will be recorded - this is all-cause mortality at 28 days from the time of the first positive blood culture. Hypothesis: Ciprofloxacin resistant strains are associated with admission from nursing home and with prior quinolone use.
The purpose of this study is to establish the impact of a pharmacist's recommendations regarding choice, dosing and duration of antibiotic therapy on quality and cost of antibiotic treatment on surgical wards.
The purpose of this study is to compare one intraoperative sub-Tenon's capsule injection of triamcinolone and ciprofloxacin in a biodegradable controlled-release system with conventional prednisolone and ciprofloxacin eye drops to treat ocular inflammation and for infection prophylaxis after cataract surgery.
The safety and tolerability of hLF 1-11 given in multiple doses has to be established first in HSCT recipients who are at risk of developing, but have not yet developed, infectious complications due to invasive fungal or bacterial disease. These patients are different from healthy volunteers because they have received myeloablative treatment, which not only arrests haematopoiesis resulting in neutropenia but also induces mucosal barrier injury both of which predispose to infections, which typically occur during the week after transplant. It is therefore essential to know that hLF 1-11 is safe and well tolerated when given during neutropenia and mucosal barrier injury before infections ensue.
Studies for GSK580416 have been completed in rats and dogs. The main toxic effects seen in animals affected the digestive system and blood cells. Study OPS106400 will be the first administration of GSK580416 in humans. Parts A and B of this study will examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of increasing single doses of GSK580416 with reference to placebo. Part C of the study will assess the effect of food on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of GSK580416 in healthy subjects.
