Filter by:In clinical practice, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid is widely used in the treatment of odontogenic infection. Therefore, this study is designed to generate data to support its use by demonstrating efficacy, safety and tolerability in comparison with clindamycin in subjects with acute odontogenic infections with or without abscess. This will be a two-arm, parallel, comparative, observer blind, randomised study to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (875mg/125mg) in comparison with clindamycin (150mg) administered for 5-7 days in subjects with acute odontogenic infections with or without abscess. The study will be performed in adult subjects both male and female ≥18 years of age who present with acute odontogenic infections. A total of 472 subjects will be randomized in 1:1 ratio, i.e. 236 subjects in each treatment arm. The treatment duration of the study will be at least 5 days or maximum 7 days depending upon the treatment response. Subjects will be assessed on Day 5 and if Investigator feels the need of continuing the treatment at Day 5 then treatment will be continued till Day 7. For subjects who do not show treatment response on Day 5, assessments will be performed on Day 7.
Objective 1. To evaluate the impact of MDR pathogen on prognosis and therapy cost; 2. To compare the efficacy of different antibiotics in treatment of infection caused by MDR pathogens; 3. To evaluate the risk factors of MDR pathogens infection; 4. To evaluate the distribution and characteristics of MDR pathogens; 5. To investigate the proportion of MDR isolates to construct systematic database.
The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of letermovir (MK-8228) for the prevention of clinically-significant CMV infection in adult, CMV-seropositive recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The hypothesis being tested was that MK-8228 is superior to placebo in the prevention of clinically-significant CMV infection through Week 24 post-transplant.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in RSV-positive adults who have been hospitalized with acute respiratory infectious symptoms. Participants will receive 1 dose of presatovir on Day 1 and followed for 27 days postdose. Nasal swabs will be collected at each study visit (excluding Day 28) and assayed for change in viral load as the primary endpoint.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride in treating non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Erlotinib hydrochloride is a standard drug used for treating lung cancer, however, it is not yet known whether it is safe to give erlotinib hydrochloride to patients who also have HIV infection or not.
Bionecteur® is a protective non-touch applicator to ensure aseptic connection made by Vygon. However, there are no studies describing a positive effect of using Bionecteurs ® in regard to catheter-related bloodstream infections. In this study Bionecteur® will be used on central venous lines and arterial lines in postoperative patients of a 40-bed ICU. The incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections will we compared to patients without inclusion of Bionecteur® devices.
This study is a multi-site trial assessing the sensitivity of Chagas Detect™ Plus rapid test versus standard reference tests (e.g. IFA, IHA, RIPA) for Chagas diagnosis. The Chagas Detect™ Plus rapid test serves as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of Chagas infection in patients. This test is intended to be used on human whole blood or serum samples. Chagas Detect™ Plus results (positive or negative) must be confirmed by testing with a reference standard test. Subjects will be patients at clinical sites located in Chagas-endemic areas. After informed consent is obtained and the subject is screened for eligibility, 2 diagnostic samples will be collected. One is blood from finger prick, and the other is blood from venous puncture (drawn from vein in arm). Rapid tests and reference tests will be performed by different operators who are laboratory staff members. These staff members, blinded to each other's results, will evaluate the samples from each method independently.
The purpose of the study is to assess viral kinetics and clinical symptoms kinetics in pediatric patients hospitalized with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) confirmed lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI).
The purpose of this study is to determine amoxicillin is effective in the prevention of wound infection in normal labor.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a simple intervention to improve hand hygiene, consisting of a 3-4 minute training video, on-site posters, and hand hygiene supplies, can reduce respiratory and GI illness among employees.
