Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a 250 mg BID oral dose of JNJ-32729463 compared with linezolid in subjects with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs).
The purpose of this study is to document the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of retapamulin in the treatment of subjects with bacterial infections, including impetigo, folliculitis, and minor soft tissue infections including secondarily infected eczema presumed to be caused by methicillin resistant Staph aureus. Male and female patients ages 9 months to 98 years will be recruited from a university based dermatology clinic. Upon enrollment, wound cultures will be collected, and then subjects will apply topical retapamulin twice daily for five days. The primary endpoint will be resolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection based on clinical presentation and physical exam, as well as bacteriological efficacy based on culture results. It is anticipated that approximately 75 patients will be enrolled, with expectation that approximately 50 of these patients will have MRSA infections.
Hypothesis: the intracellular concentrations of raltegravir (RAL) and etravirine (ETV) administrated as 800 and 400 mg once a day, respectively, are similar to those obtained with the standard doses of 400 and 200 mg/12h, respectively. Objective: To analyze the plasma and intracellular concentrations of RAL and ETV administrated as 800 and 400 mg once daily respectively compared with standard doses of 400 and 200 mg/12h, respectively, and if they support its once daily administration.
This is a Phase II, multi-center, randomized, double-blind study comparing the safety and efficacy of two doses of BC-3781 versus vancomycin in patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection.
The purpose of this research study is to explore the mechanism of action of Mucinex, an oral, over-the-counter, FDA approved expectorant in patients with acute respiratory tract infections.
The objective are to assess the nature and incidence of drug intolerance observed with a new antiretroviral triple therapy, Truvada® [0-0-1] + Isentress® 400 mg tablets [1-0-1], prescribed in a setting of the treatment of individuals with recent exposure to a risk of transmission of HIV infection and to compare the results with those of previous studies conducted according to the same methodology, with other combinations of antiretrovirals.
We aim to study if pathological NETs formation could be the underlying pathology among patients with recurrent infections and a normal screening of the immune system.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared to cefepime in children hospitalized with complicated urinary tract infections.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared with meropenem in children hospitalized with complicated intra-abdominal infections.
The study will assess the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infection in women undergoing incontinence or reconstructive pelvic surgery. Women will be given an antibiotic or placebo at the time of catheter removal. The investigators hypothesize that prophylactic antibiotics will reduce the rate of infection.
