Filter by:Primary Objective: -Evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Daptomycin given for treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) due to gram positive bacteremia in the context of standard of care antimicrobial therapy consisting mainly of Vancomycin with or without initial treatment with beta lactam antibiotics.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is known to cause hearing loss and mental retardation. The purpose of this study is to compare a 6-week course to a 6-month course of the drug valganciclovir in babies born with CMV to assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment. Participants will include 104 infants (30 days old or younger) born with CMV disease. All infants will take valganciclovir by mouth for 6 weeks. At the end of the 6 week period, subjects will be assigned by chance to receive either valganciclovir or placebo (inactive substance) to complete the 6 months of antiviral treatment. Patients will be followed for the study related evaluations of safety, changes to hearing, and developmental milestones for up to 2 years. Patients will be followed by telephone contact for an additional 3 years. Thus, participants may be involved in study related procedures for approximately 5 years.
Main objective: - To evaluate the applicability of the treatment: 1. To evaluate the treatment toxicity according to the Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) version 3.0 of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). 2. To evaluate opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections after 6 cycles of treatment with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) administered every 14 days and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and HIV infection. 3. To evaluate the adherence to the treatment with 6 cycles of R-CHOP considering the delays in the administration of the cycles and the reductions in the doses of chemotherapy (planned dose administered in predicted term). Secondary objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy of the treatment in patients with DLBCL and HIV infection after 6 cycles of treatment with R-CHOP administered every 14 days (R-CHOP/14): 1. To determine the global response and complete remission tax. 2. To evaluate the duration of the response. 3. To evaluate the probability of event-free survival in 5 years. 4. To evaluate the probability of global survival in 5 years. - To identify predictive factors of response after 6 cycles of treatment with R-CHOP administered every 14 days in patients with DLBCL and HIV infection. - To evaluate the impact of the therapeutic combination of R-CHOP and HAART in the parameters of the HIV infection (HIV viral load and CD4+ lymphocyte count).
