Filter by:This study will evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness of quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV4) versus quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV4) in preventing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed influenza and influenza-related outcomes in adults ≥65 years of age during the 2023/24 and 2024/25 influenza seasons. The study is an observational study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), an integrated health care system in the United States.
The main goal of this study is to use automated electronic reports to assess and improve guideline-concordant antibiotic use for: 1) adult inpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP); 2) pediatric inpatients with CAP; 3) adult outpatients with acute pharyngitis; and 4) pediatric outpatients with acute otitis media. There are two cohorts in this study: Patients with one of the aforementioned conditions who meet inclusion criteria, and the clinicians providing clinical care to these patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of AON-D21 versus placebo, both on top of standard of care, in patients with severe community acquired pneumonia admitted to ICU (or similar unit). The main questions to answer are: - The safety and tolerability of AON-D21 vs placebo. - The efficacy of AON-D21vs placebo. - The pharmacokinetics of AON-D21. - The pharmacodynamics of AON D21. - To identify biomarkers for patient stratification and analyses in future trials.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate if the efficacy of an experimental strategy on antibiotic treatment duration based on stopping treatment when stability criteria are reached after at least 48 h of treatment, is non-inferior to the efficacy of standard antibiotic duration in CAP patients treated in the hospital setting. As the secondary objectives, the study aims - To study if the efficacy of our experimental strategy on antibiotic treatment duration compared to standard of care in CAP patients treated in the hospital setting is non-inferior in terms of: - Persistence of cure at Day 30 of antibiotic treatment - All-cause mortality rate on Day 30 of antibiotic treatment - Patients evolution of pneumonia symptoms and quality of life via 2 scores (CAP score, CAP Sym) at Day 0 of treatment (retrospectively), at stability (Day S), at Day 7 , at Day 15, and at Day 30 of antibiotic treatment. - To compare between the 2 study arms at Day 30 of antibiotic treatment: - The duration of antibiotic treatment; - The length of hospital stay; - The frequency and severity of adverse events during the 30 days after the start of treatment. - To explore the impact of reduced antibiotic treatment duration for CAP on the oropharyngeal resistome.
This is an international, open-label, stratified randomized controlled trial with Bayesian adaptive stopping rules to compare the effects of therapeutic-dose heparin vs. usual care pharmacological thromboprophylaxis on outcomes in patients admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia (CAP).
International and national clinical guidelines recommend short antibiotic regimens in patients with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) who have reached clinical stability. However, adherence to these recommendations remains unclear. The goals of this quasi-experimental trial are: 1) to assess adherence to clinical guidelines in relation to the duration of antibiotic treatment in patients hospitalized for non-severe CAP who have reached clinical stability; 2) increase adherence to clinical guidelines and reduce the use of antibiotics in patients hospitalized for non-severe CAP who have achieved clinical stability after at least 5 days of antibiotic treatment. To this end, a multicenter prospective study will be carried out over 2 years and divided into 2 phases: i) during the first year (observational phase), patients with CAP hospitalized in the participating centers will be recorded to assess objective 1; ii) to achieve objective 2, at the beginning of the second year (quasi-experimental trial) the centers will be randomized into 2 groups of hospitals, one of them a control group and the other an intervention group. The intervention will consist in automatic reminders through pop-up windows in the computerized prescription software, reminding the clinician responsible for each patient of the need to adhere to clinical guidelines regarding the duration of antibiotic treatment in patients with clinical stability.
The main objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with sCAP on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Other objectives are to determine detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of trimodulin in a PK substudy and to determine its pharmacodynamic (PD) properties.
Reducing antibiotics prescription is still to date, the main goal in low respiratory tract infections (LRTI). Several studies have shown conflicting results on the impact of multiplex PCR as a point of care tool. Our experience has highlighted an impact on single room assignments during the winter season but not yet on antibiotics prescriptions. This project aims to evaluate a new multimodal algorithm including multiplex PCR at the point of care to reduce antibiotics prescription and therefore has the ability to have a positive impact on antibiotics resistance phenomenon.
CMTX-101 is a bacterial biofilm disrupting monoclonal antibody being developed as an adjunct therapy with standard of care antibiotics. The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of CMTX-101 in healthy volunteers followed by a similar assessment in patients with suspected or confirmed community acquired bacterial pneumonia of moderate severity. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Are single ascending doses of a CMTX-101 intravenous (IV) infusion safe and tolerated - What is the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of single-ascending doses CMTX 101 - Do single ascending doses of CMTX 101 induce development of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies (Nabs) Exploratory efficacy biomarkers will also be measured in the patient part of the study. Participants will be administered a single IV infusion of CMTX-101 over a 60-minute period; patients will receive the infusion after starting standard of care antibiotics.
The purpose of this study is to reduce the exposure of broad-spectrum antimicrobials by optimizing the rapid detection of CAP pathogens and improving rates of de-escalation following negative cultures. To accomplish this, we will perform a 3-year, pragmatic, multicenter 2 X 2 factorial cluster randomized controlled trial with four arms: a) rapid diagnostic testing b) pharmacist-led de-escalation c) rapid diagnostic testing + pharmacist-led de-escalation and d) usual care
