Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding 125 mg or 250 mg doses of relebactam (MK-7655) to imipenem/cilastatin in adults 18 years or older with Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection (cIAI). The primary hypothesis is that the relebactam + imipenem/cilastatin treatment regimen is non-inferior to treatment with imipenem/cilastatin alone with respect to the percentage of participants with a favorable clinical response at completion of intravenous (IV) study therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding 125 mg or 250 mg doses of MK-7655 (relebactam) to imipenem/cilastatin in adults 18 years or older with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI). The primary hypothesis is that the relebactam + imipenem/cilastatin treatment regimen is non-inferior to imipenem/cilastatin with respect to the proportion of participants with a favorable microbiological response at completion of intravenous (IV) study therapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ribavirin can help to control RSV in patients with immune systems that have been weakened by a stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to compare the effectiveness of the drug when it is given by mouth to when it is inhaled. The safety of the drug in both methods of delivery will be studied. Ribavirin is designed to prevent the RSV virus from making more copies of itself in the body.
Background: One of the leading causes of peri-operative osteoarticular infections (OAI) is Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment usually requires surgical debridement in association with appropriate antibiotic therapy. After surgery, an intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy is routinely indicated for 10 to 15 days, followed by a minimal one-month oral treatment. In this protocol, the latter includes clindamycin in combination with rifampin or levofloxacin. Clindamycin is considered a good option in staphylococcal infections, because of its action against biofilm formation and bacterial adherence, its high level of joint and bone penetration and its good tolerance. Rifampin, a potent cytochrome P-450 inducer, enhances the elimination of a large number of drugs. Therefore, an influence of rifampin on clindamycin pharmacokinetics must be considered. Objectives: The primary objective is to compare the influence of rifampin and levofloxacin respectively on the pharmacokinetics of clindamycin in a randomized series of peri-operative staphylococcal OAI. The investigators then seek to determine the optimal drug association with regard to infection control and drug tolerance. Study design: Monocentric, randomized, open label, comparative study Study period: From November 2010 to October 2011. Materials and Methods: Following surgical debridement and after 10 to 15 days of IV antibiotherapy, patients are randomly assigned either to the "clindamycin/rifampin" arm either to the "clindamycin/levofloxacin" arm, according to the antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Peak and trough serum concentrations of clindamycin are measured at day-1, day-15 and day-30 of oral treatment. Rifampin and levofloxacin serum concentrations are measured at the same intervals to monitor patient compliance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftaroline Fosamil versus Vancomycin plus Aztreonam in treatment of patients with complicated bacterial skin and soft tissue infections.
Purpose: - identification of factors predisposing for Post-Infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PI-IBS) development after an episode of traveler's diarrhea - identification of systemic (serum) and local (biopsy) changes in infectious and immunological activity during infection and correlation with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms, persisting after traveler's diarrhea Design: - 4 study visits: before traveling, 2 weeks after traveling, 6 months after traveling, 12 months after traveling - at each study visit following investigations: blood collection, stool collection, questionnaires, rectal biopsy
The proposed study is a substudy of ATN 106 and a cross sectional study intended to be conducted at each of the AMTUs newly participating in ATN III. The intent is to enroll all youth with behaviorally-acquired HIV who have enrolled in ATN 106. The study involves a review of the subjects' medical chart and a collection of an oral rinse sample.
Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is a disease usually occurred in the patients with compromised immune condition, such as acute leukemia, allogeneic stem cell transplantation or long term immune suppression treatment with the incidence increasing over last decades. Given the introduction of numerous anti-fungal agents and great advance has been made in recent years, IFI is still a dangerous disease with high mortality. Early diagnosis of IFI is still a problem challenging the physicians. Serum tests of β-D-Glucan are introduced to the diagnosis of IFI, which have the advantage of easy application. However, the value of this test in the monitoring of antifungal treatment remains unclear. The investigators perform this study to evaluate the correlation of the serum test results of β-D-Glucan test with the treatment response during the anti-fungal treatment, and hope to see that the results of serial serum tests are good predictive markers for treatment response.
