Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the post-surgical standard-of-care dressing to the Prevena™ Incision Management System in women undergoing Cesarean section surgery.
This partially-blind, placebo controlled study is a Phase 1b study using an investigational vaccine, NDV-3, directed against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida sp. This study will compare NDV-3 administered with or without alum delivered intramuscularly (IM) at one dose level. It will also evaluate a lower dose of NDV-3 without alum delivered intradermally (ID) compared to placebo delivered ID.
This study is designed to explore the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine through a step-down enrollment. Primary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine. Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the immunogenicity of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine.
The study investigated the immune response induced by the Group B streptococcus vaccine in healthy pregnant women. In addition, the study investigated the amount of vaccine induced antibodies which were transferred to the newborn.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, double dummy study of CXA-201 Intravenous (IV) infusions (1500mg q8h) and metronidazole (500mg q8h) versus meropenem (1000mg q8h)for the treatment of adults with Complicated Intraabdominal Infections (cIAI).
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine in healthy adult volunteers. Primary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine. Observational Objective: - To evaluate the immunogenicity of an investigational Pneumococcal vaccine.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of two investigational pneumococcal vaccines at three dose levels in healthy adults. Primary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of two investigational pneumococcal vaccines. Observational Objective: - To evaluate the immunogenicity of the investigational pneumococcal vaccines.
HIV-infected people and pregnant women are at risk of developing severe pneumococcal disease. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and immune response to two pneumococcal vaccines in HIV-infected pregnant women.
The investigators intend to investigate whether the rise in childhood obesity is caused by the loss of recurrent and chronic infections in modern, industrialized society, beginning in utero and extending through early childhood. The investigators will also examine whether the antimicrobial triclosan, present in numerous cleaning and hygiene products, decreases the incidence of infection within a household.
HIV progression is closely associated with chronic immune activation driven by leakage of bacterial products from a damaged gut, the investigators largest immunological organ. Notably, the degree of immune activation has been suggested to be a better predictor of disease progression than plasma viral load, and markers of immune activation and gut damage have been identified as therapeutic targets per se. The major damage by HIV to the immune system is an initial massacre of gut mucosal CD4+ Th17 cells. Interestingly, a normal gut flora has been shown to induce the maturation of Th17 cells in the small intestine mucosa. Preliminary reports have shown that the gut flora is altered in HIV-1 infection compared to controls. In this project, the investigators will characterize microbial composition of gut flora in chronic HIV infection with ultradeep sequencing. Gut flora composition will be related to clinical data as well as quantitative data of circulating microbial products and activation markers. Second, in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) the effect of probiotic lactobacilli on HIV pathogenesis and progression will be tested. This Gram-positive strain is clinically tested and is able to colonize the gut.
