Filter by:Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, PK/PD and preliminary efficacy study of intravenous IC14 in adult patients in a dengue-endemic region presenting with fever > 38°C for < 48 hours with a positive NS1 strip assay or reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay for dengue virus.
It is possible to distinguish between pediatric oncology patients who are at high or low risk for serious infection during periods of fever and treatment related neutropenia based on clinical parameters. Patients with low risk can be safely treated as outpatients primarily using oral antibiotics. It is possible to improve methods of risk stratification through the addition of genomic and proteomic factors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether antibiotics can be safely avoided in women who develop a fever during labor. Because investigators have no accurate tests to determine whether women who develop fever during labor have intra-amniotic infection, antibiotics are often used to prevent spread of infection to the fetus.
Compare and assess the accuracy and reliability of the InstaTemp MD® device to techniques presently in use for measuring temperature in infants and children in a Canadian clinical setting.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of heated doxorubicin that can be given to patients during surgery with abdominal tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
The goal of this clinical research study is to explore whether intrathoracic hyperthermic perfusion after radical surgery could reduce local recurrence rate(13%) for advanced lung cancer / esophageal cancer. The safety of intrathoracic hyperthermic perfusion right after surgery.
This study will help to elucidate the treatment sites in the extremities and pelvis for which MR-guided HIFU heating is feasible, which has the potential to be beneficial for patients with conditions at those sites (soft tissue sarcoma, cervical cancer, etc.). The investigators anticipate that successful completion of this study will lead to clinical trials in those feasible sites of interest to determine the safety and efficacy of administering therapeutic levels of heat for hyperthermia or other applications.
This study is part of a larger prospective cohort study (JOKA), designed to study the incidence and etiological spectrum of febrile illness occurring during a travel to the tropics, as well as clinical course, care, treatment and outcome of these febrile illness episodes. Its objective is to evaluate the clinical use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) by travelers or their peers during travel, as a decision aid for the management of febrile illness in the tropics. If the study demonstrates that malaria can be ruled out safely by travelers themselves using a RDT, a combination of self/peer testing with SBET may become an alternative to antimalarial chemoprophylaxis in travel medicine.
Based on the basic data of all patients foreseen for a local hyperthermia in the participating centers the failure rate (of the Celsius TCS Hyperthermia System) and the complication rate (injury to the patients) will be recorded.
Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness transmitted by mosquitoes, which affects half the world's population. There are 96 million symptomatic infections, 500,0000 hospitalisations and 25,000 deaths per year attributed to the disease. The economic burden is $12 billion. In Singapore, as elsewhere, the incidence of the disease continues to increase despite aggressive control measures. At present there are no approved medicines for treating dengue fever. Only supportive fluid replacement therapy is used to treat vascular leakage in patients with severe illness. Therefore there is an urgent need to find alternative treatments. Experiments in the laboratory have shown that Celgosivir and modipafant inhibit dengue virus and improve mouse survival. Both drugs have previously been used in humans with good safety records, so investigators are taking this one step further to find out how well it works in dengue patients. Investigators plan to enroll dengue patients within 48 hours of fever onset and assign them to one of four treatment groups over five days. Together with the support from the industry partner, 60°Pharmaceuticals PLC, the investigators will determine the safety and effectiveness of these drugs on acute dengue patients and pave the way forward for dengue antiviral medicines to reach patients.
