Filter by:This study evaluates the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of Prevena Incision Management System versus Dermabond in preventing groin wound infections in patients who undergo vascular surgery requiring a groin wound. Half of the patients will receive Dermabond and the other half will receive the Prevena Incision Management System for their groin wounds.
The aim of this study is to determine if the Sharklet catheter, with its unique surface micropattern, reduces infections in participants, when compared to a standard silicone catheter.
Urinary tract infection due to Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL UTI) become a frequent problem. A too large variety in the prescription of antibiotics for E-ESBL UTI in children and absolute recommendations regarding the optimal treatment of E-ESBL is nearly impossible at this time. Our aim was to describe the characteristics and treatments of urinary tract infections caused by Extended spectrum betalactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in children.
This Phase 2 Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine study is intended to replicate and extend the immunogenicity and safety results obtained in earlier Phase 1-2 and Phase 2 studies. The study is being conducted to evaluate that the immunogenicity profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine meets the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) licensure criteria and to evaluate if the immunogenicity and the safety profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine is acceptable and comparable to that of the FluLaval® Tetra and Fluzone® High-Dose (HD). The study will also help to define the optimal dose in this population, establish potential competitive advantages, and support the design of future studies.
This study will be a multi-institutional randomized clinical trial of a short course of pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis in addition to perioperative antibiotics prior to undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The select patient population will be those patients deemed to be at a moderately increased risk of postoperative infectious complications. These higher risk patients are those with indwelling urinary drainage tubes and those with a positive preoperative urine culture.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of four different doses of cytomegalovirus vaccines in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ALN-HBV in healthy adult volunteers and patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In addition, the study will assess antiviral efficacy of ALN-HBV in patients with HBV.
The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the success rate of routine one-stage exchange for treatment of chronically infected total hip arthroplasty performed at the investigators institution, and to compare it to the current literature reporting success rate of selected one-stage exchange procedure or two-stage procedure. The secondary goal is to detect the potential prognostic factors and potential selection criteria which may influence the success rate. The tested hypothesis is following: the success rate of routine one-stage exchange is lower than that of selected one-stage or two-stage procedure
The aim of this study is to investigate levels of a protein, mannose binding lectin, in patients with acute leukemia who develop or not an invasive fungal infection.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of therapy with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) and ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic genotype 1 or 2 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have previously failed a direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-containing regimen.
