Filter by:The SCOUT study is a multi-center, centrally randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled non-inferiority clinical trial. 746 participants will be enrolled over a 4.5 year period. 672 will be evaluated for the study's primary outcome measure. After the first 5 days of primary care physician initiated antimicrobial therapy, patients who are afebrile and asymptomatic will then be randomized (1:1) to the standard course therapy arm of 5 more days of the same antibiotic therapy or the short course therapy arm of a placebo for 5 more days (for 10 days total). The primary objective of this study is to determine if halting antimicrobial therapy in subjects who have exhibited clinical improvement 5 days after starting antibiotic therapy (short course therapy) have the same failure rate (symptomatic UTI) through visit Day 11-14 as subjects who continue to take antibiotics for an additional 5 days (standard course therapy).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftazidime Avibactam compared to Doripenem for treating hospitalized patients with complicated urinary tract infections, including acute pyelonephritis
The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical superiority and the safety of topical pexiganan cream 0.8% plus standard local wound care as compared to placebo cream plus standard local wound care, in the treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers.
Addition of L. reuteri to the standard triple therapy improves H. Pylori treatment outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical superiority and the safety of topical pexiganan cream 0.8% plus standard local wound care, as compared to placebo cream plus standard local wound care, in the treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers.
Cough is a frequent symptom in children and infants and is one of the most common reasons parents visit a healthcare provider for their child. The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning that over-the-counter cough and cold medicines including antihistamines, decongestants, anti-tussives, and expectorants should not be administered to children younger than 2 years of age due not only to lack of proven efficacy, but also because of important safety concerns. A product that has been used in alternative medicine for cough is maple syrup. Although no studies have formally evaluated the use of maple syrup for nocturnal cough associated with URI, the demulcent effect of maple syrup may provide some relief from cough in children. A novel formulation of pasteurized maple cough syrup, when compared to placebo, should provide superior relief on nocturnal cough and the sleep difficulty associated with URI in children under 12 months and sleep difficulty of their parent/caregiver.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether FVH1, a DNA-based influenza vaccine, will be safe and generally well tolerated in healthy elderly adult volunteers and will result in greater immunogenicity when used to prime the immune response to a dose of a trivalent inactivated seasonal vaccine.
This is an open label, in-use study to assess the warming sensation, acceptability and local tolerability of paracetamol 500 mg + pseudoephedrine 30 mg syrup, given as a single dose in subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. The purpose is to evaluate the acceptability concerning a warming sensation effect and its potential benefit in the target population. The primary objective is to assess the warming sensation caused by the excipient IFF flavor 316 282, in a syrup containing paracetamol 500 mg + pseudoephedrine 30 mg per 30 ml syrup. The syrup contains (0.15% w/v) warming flavor. The Secondary Objectives are to assess subject acceptability of the syrup and the safety and tolerability of the syrup. The study will be run in fifty-six (56) subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) for 7 days or less, e.g. nasal congestion associated with colds and flu symptoms such as pain, headache and/or fever. Subjects must have one or more symptoms per category: 1. mild to moderate body pain, headache, fever or sore throat 2. nasal congestion (blocked nose) with or without rhinorrhea (runny nose) or sneezing Adolescents will be included in the study population
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (how a drug is absorbed and distributed in the body), and intrinsic antiviral activity of JNJ-47910382 after 5 consecutive days of administration in chronic, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-genotype-1-infected patients at different doses and dose regimens.
The study is an open label, multicenter, randomized (three arms: DOT (standard control), SAT, SAT with SMS reminders) controlled clinical trial. The trial is conducted in patients diagnosed with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) who are recommended for treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to a three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3RPT/INH) given by directly observed therapy (DOT) compared to self-administered therapy (SAT). The secondary objectives: - To compare the treatment completion rates between participants randomized to SAT without reminders versus SAT with weekly SMS reminders - To evaluate the timing of doses and patterns of adherence to once weekly RPT/INH among participants who complete treatment and those who discontinue therapy prior to completion. - To determine the availability and acceptability of using SMS reminders among all patients consenting to participate in the study. - To determine the toxicity and tolerability by comparing the rates of any drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events or death between the DOT arm and the SAT arms (both combined and individually) - To compare the frequency, timing, and causes for failure to complete treatment between the DOT arm and the SAT arms - To collect patient-specific cost data related to the 3 treatment arms - To describe the pattern of antituberculosis drug resistance among Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains cultured from participants who develop active TB.
