Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF)/velpatasvir (VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) with and without ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks and SOF/VEL FDC for 24 weeks in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) class B cirrhosis.
Observational study to collect data on maintaining anti-retroviral activity (quantitative HIV RNA determination) and immunological activity (CD4 cells) despite switching from protease inhibitor to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) (Viramune®).
primary purpose:Evaluate the prevalence and incidence of HPV infection and related diseases in subjects. Secondary purpose:Analyze risk factors of HPV infection and related diseases.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the routine use of antibiotic irrigation during pancreas surgery (Whipple procedure) will decrease superficial and organ space infections.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of voxilaprevir (formerly GS-9857) alone or with sofosbuvir (SOF)/velpatasvir (VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) and antiviral activity of voxilaprevir in adults with genotype 1, 2, 3, 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. All participants will be monitored for up to 48 weeks after the last dose.
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) healthcare-associated infections (HAI) cause significant morbidity and mortality. SA causes 15% of all HAI and 30% of surgical site infections (SSIs). Each year over 40 million Americans undergo operations, 1-10% of whom will acquire SSIs. Such infections double the length of hospitalization and risk of dying, and increase U.S. health care costs by $5-10 billion/year. We need effective interventions to prevent SSIs caused by either methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) or methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains. Nasal carriers of SA (25-30% of adults) have a 2-14 times greater risk than non-carriers of acquiring an SA SSI. A potential prevention approach is routine pre-operative screening of patients, followed by decolonization of identified SA carriers.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the immune response in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The investigation will focus on inflammatory and vasoactive biomarkers as prognostic markers of severity and mortality at admission to Rigshospitalet and the following 3 days
The aim of the intervention is to examine the effect of a combination of the two bacterial strains BB-12 and LGG, provided for 6 month, on the prevalence of infections and allergic manifestations in small children, and how a combination of BB-12 and LGG affects the immune system, gastrointestinal tract and the microbiota. Children are enrolled during 2 winter seasons.
HIV/Tuberculosis (TB) co-infection have profound effects on the host's immune system. TB is the most common cause of death in patients with HIV worldwide. Rifamycins (such as rifampicin [RIF]) are an important component of TB therapy because of their unique activity. The problem is that most protease inhibitors (PI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) used to treat HIV have significant drug-drug interactions with RIF that can lead to reduced concentrations of these agents with risk of treatment failure or resistance. The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz (EFV) does not present the same significant drug interactions with RIF. EFV-based HIV treatment was tested in patients concomitantly treated with RIF-containing TB therapy, demonstrating that their co-administration can be used safely and effectively. However, the side effect profile of EFV overlaps with the RIF-containing TB regimens and makes the management of treatment toxicities very complex. Integrase inhibitors (INI), such as dolutegravir (DTG), may offer an important alternative to EFV-based therapy in TB coinfected patients. A Phase I drug-drug interaction study was conducted in healthy, HIV-seronegative subjects, and showed that DTG at 50 mg twice daily given together with RIF was well-tolerated and resulted in DTG concentrations similar to those of DTG 50 mg given once daily alone, which is the recommended dose for INI-naive patients. Therefore, ART regimens using DTG 50 mg twice daily may represent a new treatment option for TB-infected patients who require concurrent treatment for HIV infection. This is a Phase III b, randomized, open-label study describing the efficacy and safety of DTG and EFV-containing ART regimens in HIV/TB co-infected patients. This study is designed to assess the antiviral activity of DTG or efavirenz (EFV) ART-containing regimens through 48 weeks. A total of approximately 115 +/-5% subjects will be randomly assigned in a 3:2 ratio to DTG (approximately 69 subjects) and EFV (approximately 46 subjects), respectively. This study will include a Screening Period, a Randomized Phase (Day 1 to 48 weeks plus a 4-week extension), and a DTG Open-label extension (OLE). During the DTG OLE, subjects will be supplied with DTG until it is locally approved and commercially available, the subject no longer derives clinical benefit, or the subject meets a protocol-defined reason for discontinuation, which ever comes first.
Revision surgery after total hip or knee arthroplasty is an ongoing issue due to an increasing number of primary surgeries. Patients seek physicians due to pain. The cause is divided between loosening, infection or chronic pain. Some are operated on the suspicion of a chronic infection. However, postoperative microbiological testing does not always correlate with the suspicion and the operation may have been superfluous. The objective is to employ a highly advanced diagnostic algorithm based on state of the art diagnostic techniques in order to improve the basis of preoperative diagnosis. Through this approach treatment can be given according to the causal problem.
