Filter by:1. To study the efficacy of a therapeutic HIV vaccine consisting of autologous myeloid dendritic cells pulsed ex vivo with high doses of inactivated autologous HIV-1, in HIV-1 infected patients in a very early stages of the disease (CD4 > 450 x 10 6 /L). 2. To analyze the HIV-1 humoral and cellular immune responses induced by this immune-based therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if treatment of CMV infection by antiviral drug Valcyte (R) affects the clinical outcome of glioblastoma multiforme in patients with local CMV infection in tumor tissue. The investigators' hypothesis states that CMV infection promotes tumor development and disease progression and inhibits immune responses against the tumor.
To investigate safety, tolerability and anti-viral activity in Integrase-Naïve HIV-1 infected adults
To collect clinical response data with the use of ertapenem in approved indications.
The aim of the study is to determine if N-acetylcysteine (a potent free radical scavenger) prevents the occurrence of adverse neonatal outcomes in preterm deliveries complicated by infection associated with preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). The working hypothesis is that in pregnancies complicated by intra-amniotic infection or inflammation, N-acetylcysteine protects the fetus by preventing the development, or decreasing the intensity and/or progression of the fetal inflammatory syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerosolized antibiotics on respiratory infection in mechanically ventilated patients.We hypothesize that aerosolized antibiotics , which achieve high drug concentrations in the airway, would more effectively treat respiratory infection, decrease the need for systemic antibiotics and decrease antibiotic resistance.
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the CCR5 antagonist INCB009471 in HIV-1 infected patients who are antiretroviral therapy naïve, or who are not currently on a HAART regimen and have not received any antiretroviral agents for 3 months prior to the Screening visit. Subjects will receive study medication (INCB009471) admnistered orally or placebo once daily with food for 14 days. Clinical safety laboratories, 12-lead electrocardiograms, physical examinations and virologic assessments, including viral load, viral tropism and CD4+ cell count determinations will be performed at the Screening visit and at regularly scheduled visits throughout the study. A blood sample will also be obtained and stored to potentially determine the genotype of the CCR5 receptor. The primary objectives are: 1. Assess the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days; 2. Determine the pharmacokinetics of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days; 3. Evaluate the anti-retroviral activity of 3 doses of INCB009471 or placebo when administered orally, once daily, as monotherapy for 14 days
Primary Objective: To evaluate for each influenza strain the non-inferiority of Investigational Fluzone vaccine to the standard Fluzone® vaccine in healthy subjects aged 6 to 35 months or 3 to 8 years. Secondary Objectives: - To describe the immunogenicity of of Investigational Fluzone vaccine to the standard Fluzone® vaccine in healthy subjects aged 6 to 35 months or 3 to 8 years. - To describe the safety of of Investigational Fluzone vaccine to the standard Fluzone® vaccine in healthy subjects aged 6 to 35 months or 3 to 8 years.
Compared to young adults, the elderly mount a lower antibody response to vaccination. Thus, improvement of the immune response to influenza vaccination in this age group, which is at higher risk for influenza-related morbidity and mortality, represents an important unmet need. Primary Objectives: Immunogenicity: - To demonstrate lot consistency of the Fluzone High Dose (Fluzone HD) manufacturing process through evaluation of the immune responses elicited by three different lots. - To demonstrate the superiority of Fluzone HD vaccine compared to standard-dose Fluzone® vaccine. Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity: - To describe the seroprotection of Fluzone HD compared to that of standard dose Fluzone® vaccine. Safety: - To describe the safety profile of Fluzone HD, in terms of solicited -, unsolicited adverse and serious adverse events post-vaccination. - To describe clinical information on some additional defined criteria during the six months following vaccination.
This study is designed to compare the efficacy of ertapenem and piperacillin/tazobactam with respect to the clinical response in baseline microbiologically evaluable patients; and to evaluate the tolerability and safety of ertapenem compared to piperacillin/tazobactam.
