Filter by:This is a randomized trial to test a brief single session risk reduction counseling intervention on HIV and STI behavioral outcomes in Cape Town South Africa.
This study will investigate whether: 1) treatment with MK-3415A in addition to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy will decrease Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurrence as compared to treatment with MK-6072 or MK-3415, 2) treatment with MK-3415A, MK-6072, or MK-3415, in addition to SOC antibiotic therapy will decrease CDI recurrence as compared to placebo, and 3) MK-3415A, MK-6072, and MK-3415 will be generally well tolerated in participants receiving SOC therapy for CDI as compared to placebo.
The Cesarean Section Optimal Antibiotic Prophylaxis (C/SOAP) study is a large pragmatic multi-center randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of azithromycin-based extended-spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis (azithromycin plus standard narrow-spectrum cephalosporin) relative to standard single-agent cephalosporin (preferably prior to surgical incision) to prevent post-cesarean infection. Hypothesis: Compared to narrow-spectrum prophylaxis (i.e. cefazolin alone, or clindamycin if cephalosporin allergy) prior to surgical incision, the addition of extended-spectrum prophylaxis (azithromycin + cefazolin) reduces the incidence of post-cesarean infection.
Helicobacter pylori-infection (H. pylori) affects about fifty percent of the general population and is associated with peptic ulcer disease, non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma. Currently, diagnostic methods include breath tests, serology, stool antigen tests, histology or the Helicobacter urease test (HUT). The aim of our study is to access the clinical reliability of a new, electrochemical device for rapid H. pylori detection.
The study investigates whether shared online access to epidemiological data for general practitioners, disease prevention officers, emergency care services and microbiology laboratories changes clinical practice with regard to testing, diagnosing and treatment of communicable diseases. The main hypothesis is that "online access for general practitioner to epidemiological data about communicable diseases changes clinical practice for testing, diagnosing and treatment of communicable diseases".
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of multiple daily dosing of oral LFF571 in patients who have moderate Clostridium difficile infections.
GSK1349572 is an integrase inhibitor that is currently in clinical development for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. GSK1349572 is metabolized primarily by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1 with a minor role of Cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A. Hepatic impairment could potentially alter the clearance and plasma protein binding of GSK1349572. This study will evaluate the single dose pharmacokinetics and safety of GSK1349572 in healthy subjects and in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment based on Child-Pugh category. This is a single-dose, open-label, parallel group, two-part, adaptive study in adult males and females with mild or moderate hepatic impairment and matched, healthy control subjects with normal hepatic function. Healthy control subjects (16) will be matched for gender, age, and BMI to the subjects in the mild (8) or moderate (8) hepatic impairment category. In Part 1, approximately 8 subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (cohort 1) and 8 matched, control subjects (cohort 2) will each receive GSK1349572 50 mg as a single dose in the fasted state followed by pharmacokinetic sampling for total concentrations of GSK1349572 in plasma. Free (unbound) plasma concentrations of GSK1349572 will also be evaluated at sparse, selected time points. If the geometric mean total plasma area under the concentration curve (AUC) of GSK1349572 is increased by > 2-fold in moderately impaired subjects compared to matched controls, Part 2 will be conducted to evaluate GSK1349572 pharmacokinetics in another group of subjects with mild impairment (8, cohort 3) and matched, control subjects (8, cohort 4). Vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and adverse events will be monitored throughout the study. A follow-up visit will occur 7-10 days after the dose of study drug.
This study will further evaluate the ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine in a population of middle-aged to elderly individuals at risk of exposure to Clostridium difficile because of impending hospitalization or residence in a care facility. Primary Objectives: - To describe the safety profile of subjects in each of the study groups. - To describe the immune responses elicited by toxoid A and toxoid B of subjects in each of the study groups. Observational Objective: - To describe the occurrence of first-time Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) episodes.
Cervical cancer is a public health problem. In term of frequency and mortality, it represents in Martinique the third localization the most frequently diagnosed and the fifth cause of death by cancer. Cervical cancer is recognized as viro-inducted. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiologic agent, as a necessary but not sufficient cause, in the cancer genesis. It is estimated than about 70 to 80% of women have been or will be infected with an HPV in their genital life, the risks factors being those of the others sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Most of HPV infection are transient, by spontaneous clearance in a few months of the virus under episomal form. Carcinogen risk is related to viral persistency which inducts the condition of cellular transformation. Infection persistency and subsequent carcinogen risk depend of the genotype concerned and of the host immunitary response. HIV infection is known to be associated with an higher prevalency of one or several infection with HPV-HR. However, no data about HIV/HPV coinfection prevalency are available nowadays in French overseas department of South America whereas they are the most affected by HIV.
The aim of the interventional study is to compare the different treatment modalities in reducing erythema size and rate of resolving phlebitis.
