Phase 3b, single arm, simplification study with dual therapy including Lamivudine (300 mg QD) plus Raltegravir (1200 mg QD) in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected patients experiencing inconvenience, toxicity, negative impact on comorbidities or risk of drug-drug interactions with their current regimen.
The purpose of this long-term follow-up (LTFU) study is to evaluate the incidence of the clinical diagnosis of asthma and the frequency of wheezing in infants and children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection who were treated with (lumicitabine or placebo) and have completed their last planned study-related visit in a feeding Phase 2 study (64041575RSV2004).
Non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Burkholdria spp, Aspergillus in the lung are almost impossible to eradicate with conventional antibiotics. In addition COVID-19 has know current treatment. These patients have few options to treat their lung infection. Nitric oxide has broad bactericidal and virucidal properties. It has been shown that nitric oxide was safe to be inhaled for similar cystic fibrosis patients and reduced drug resistant bacteria in the lungs. Further, research indicates that clinical isolates of NTM, Burkholderia spp, Aspergillus spp and Corona-like viruses can be eradicated by 160ppm NO exposure in the laboratory petri dish. This is not the first time inhaled NO treatment has been used in patients with difficult lung infections. This study will provide more data to see if NO therapy can reduce the bacterial load in the lungs, help the patients breath better; and in the case of COVID-19 act as a anti-viral agent resulting in the reduction of incidence of oxygen therapy, mechanical assistance of BIPAP, CPAP, intubation and mechanical ventilation during the study period.
The aim of the study is to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and preference-based health utilities of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) carriers in different stages of illness. It will also estimate the cost-effectiveness of anti-viral treatments resulting from the prevention of the progression of disease from uncomplicated CHB carriers to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The following hypotheses will be tested: 1. Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) have poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) than the general population; 2. Patients with more severe stages of chronic HB infections have lower health related quality of life and health utility values; 3. Anti-viral treatment can improve the HRQOL and health utility for patients with CHB infections; 4. The cost-effectiveness of different treatments for chronic HBV infections can be directly compared in terms of cost/QALY gained.
A preliminary study was conducted from 01/26/2015 to 10/26/2015 on 605 patients admitted to MIA with an intravenous and/or a urinary catheter. the investigators analyzed: - the demographic characteristics of the patient - the final diagnosis - the patient's severity and the patient outcome after discharge from MIA - the justification of the venous and or a urinary catheter - the duration of the prescription of the device Evaluation on admission of the need to maintain an intravenous or urinary catheter. Adjusting the prescription in terms of duration or withdrawal of the device in order to limit their complications (lymphangitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, bacteremia related to health care, urinary tract infection). Hypothesis: Limit the length of stay and reduce the cost of hospitalization.
A Phase 3 comparative study to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Aztreonam-Avibactam (ATM-AVI) ± Metronidazole (MTZ) versus Meropenem (MER) ± Colistin (COL) for the treatment of serious infections due to Gram negative bacteria.
To investigate whether the composition of the gut microbiota is different in patients that develop delirium during critical illness as compared to patients who do not.
This Phase 3 study is intended to assess the clinical lot-to-lot consistency in manufacturing by evaluating and comparing the immunogenicity of three consecutively manufactured lots of the Quadrivalent Virus-Like Particles (VLP) Influenza Vaccine, during the 2016-2017 influenza season, in healthy adults 18-49 years of age. A single dose of one of three consecutive lots of Quadrivalent VLP Influenza Vaccine (30 µg/strain) will be administered to 1,200 participants.
Samples will be collected to determine human genetic variation, fecal and oral microbial communities, and metabolome products. Several evolutionary and ecological diversity metrics will be distilled to test: a) if microbiome variation within each ethnicity is less than that between ethnicities; b) if microbiome variation is finely structured according to genetic relatedness; and c) if dietary variation impacts human genome x microbiome associations.
