Filter by:This survey is conducted for preparing application materials for re-examination under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Laws and its Enforcement Regulation, its aim is to reconfirm the clinical usefulness of Isentress through collecting the safety and efficacy information in usual practice according to the Re-examination Regulation for New Drugs. Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) are two antiretroviral medications used for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. This study will examine how these medications are processed in the body of people who are HIV-infected, as well as in people who are HIV-uninfected.
The main goal is to confirm, among HIV1-infected patients, data from in vitro studies showing that antiretroviral therapies induce an accelerated aging through the same mechanisms than genetic laminopathies or than "physiological " aging, that is through the synthesis and persistence of farnesylated prelamin A. The secondary goal is to measure the impact of HIV infection and of antiretroviral therapies on markers of cell ageing (proteasome, mitochondria, telomere). The perspective is to fix antiretroviral therapy side effects using the same drug combination that will be used in few weeks in Marseille to treat children suffering from progeria
Our hypothesis is that large-dose, extended-interval vancomycin (30 mg/kg IV q24h) administration provides non-inferior clinical efficacy and microbiological efficacy to standard vancomycin (15 mg/kg IV q12h) administration for skin and soft tissue infections in an outpatient setting.
This single-center, randomized, double-blind and controlled study aims to examine the effect of a fermented dairy product containing the probiotic Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 (Actimel® = tested product) on the incidence of respiratory and gastro-intestinal common infectious diseases (cumulated number of infections during the intervention period: primary criteria), and on immune functions in healthy shift workers. Volunteers received either 200g/day of tested product (N=500) or control product (N=500) for 3-months, followed by a 1-month follow-up.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the impact of raltegravir, maraviroc, darunavir/r, and Truvada® (emtricitabine/tenofovir) vs. darunavir/r and Truvada® on cell-associated HIV-DNA levels in patients with primary HIV-1 infection.
Background: Helicobacter pylori infection has been shown to be associated with the development of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer diseases. Eradication of H. pylori infection could reduce the occurence or recurrence of these diseases. However, it was estimated that 15-20% of patients would fail from first line standard eradication therapy and need second line rescue therapy. About 15-30% of patient would fail from second line therapy and need to be rescued with third line therapy. The commonly used salvage regimens include (1) Bismuth based quadruple therapy (combined with ranitidine or PPI plus two antibiotics) (2) Levofloxacin or moxifloxacin or rifabutin based triple therapy. However, Bismuth is not available in many countries and the administration method is complex. Its usage is limited by the high pill number and low compliance rate. In recent years, the concept of sequential therapy has been advocated in the treatment of H. pylori infection. The regimen includes a PPI plus amoxicillin for five days, followed by a PPI plus clarithromycin and metronidazole for another five days. The eradication rate in the first line treatment of sequential therapy had been reported to be as high as 90%. More importantly, it has been demonstrated that the eradication rate among patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains could be as high as 89%. According to the Maastricht III consensus meeting, it was recommended that susceptibility test should be done for patients who failed two treatments. Therefore, we aimed to assess the efficacy of susceptibility test driven sequential therapy as the third line therapy for those who fail from two standard eradication therapies. Methods: This will be a multi-center, open labeled pilot study 1. Patients: - Open labeled, non-comparative pilot study 2. Testing for H. pylori infection: - Before salvage treatment: either (1) any two positive of CLO test, histology, and culture or (2) a positive C13-UBT will be considered as failure of previous eradication treatment EGD with gastric biopsy will be done for H. pylori culture and susceptibility test - After salvage treatment: C13-UBT will be used to assess the existence of H. pylori after 2nd or 3rd line salvage therapy 3. Treatment regimens and assignment: - D1-7: Nexium (40 mg, bid), Amolin (1 gm, bid) - D8-14: Nexium (40 mg, bid), Flagyl (500 mg, bid) plus either one of the following according to antibiotic susceptibility test (1) Klaricid, 500 mg, bid or (2) Cravit, 250 mg, bid or (3) Tetracycline, 500 mg, bid 4. Outcome Measurement: - Primary End Point: Eradication rate will be evaluated according to Intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses - Secondary End Point: the eradication rate according to antibiotic susceptibility before salvage therapy
This is a phase III, randomized, controlled, open label study with two vaccine regimens. The study will assess the relative safety and immunogenicity of vaccine regimens comparing adjuvanted versus non-adjuvanted formulations of A(H1N1) inactivated influenza virus vaccine in subjects with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Infection and to compare safety and immunogenicity data with a contemporaneously enrolled control group of age-comparable, healthy subjects. Because certain individuals may be hypo-responsive to influenza vaccination, additional studies with high-risk groups are warranted in order to determine the optimal vaccine formulation and dosing schedule for prevention of novel H1N1 virus infection.
This is a single-center, randomized, two part, open-label, crossover study in healthy adult subjects to assess the effect of up to three formulations on the relative bioavailability of GSK2248761 100mg administered with and without food. Part A will evaluate two new formulations compared to the current formulation. Part B will evaluate one additional formulation if the bioavailability of the two formulations in Part A do not meet pre-specified criteria. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-10 days after the last dose of study drug.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed in the body, how they are distributed within the body and how they are removed from the body over time) of ceftobiprole after a single 250-mg intravenous (IV) infusion (given directly into the vein) for 2 hours, before and after dialysis to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis or healthy volunteers.
