Filter by:HPV infection has been established as a necessary cause of cervical cancer. GSK Biologicals has developed an HPV-16/18 L1 VLP AS04 vaccine (Cervarix TM) which targets the 2 most common oncogenic HPV types (HPV-16 and HPV-18), found in > 70%, approximately, of all cervical cancers. Recently, Merck's HPV vaccine Gardasil® [quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV-6,11,16,18 L1 VLP) recombinant vaccine] has been approved by the FDA for prevention of genital tract cancers and pre-cancers and genital warts in females. Although the GSK HPV vaccine and Gardasil® have different compositions and are expected to have different efficacy profiles, each vaccine targets prevention of HPV-16 and 18 genital tract cancers and pre-cancers. Therefore, a comparison of the immunogenicity of the two vaccines is warranted. This Phase 3b study is designed to compare the immunogenicity of the GSK vaccine (HPV-16/18) to Gardasil® in healthy adult females 18-45 years of age. The Protocol Posting has been updated as the study will be extended by 3 additional years.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-infection belong to the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. HIV-infected men having sex with men /MSM) are strongly associated with a higher prevalence of genitoanal HPV-infection, and perianal HPV-infections have been detected in up to 90% of HIV-positive men. The data concerning the incidence of oral HPV-infection in HIV-positive men, especially in the era of highly antiretroviral therapy, are conflicting. Thus, this prospective study mainly focuses on the incidence and prevalence of oral HPV-infection, spectrum of HPV-types, and oral high-risk HPV viral load in HIV-positive men.
The purpose of this study is to determine the utilization patterns and compliance rates of palivizumab, which is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection.
Tigecycline is being developed as an agent that overcomes tetracycline-resistance mechanisms and provides activity against emerging multi-drug resistant pathogens. The purpose of this protocol is to determine the linkage between time related clinical measures of infection response and time to bacterial eradication in patients with intravascular catheter infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase negative staphylococci.
- This is the first study, that we are aware of, that will evaluate the efficacy of IgIV in patients with IgG subclass deficiency. - Will provide data for further collaboration in extending study to involve other immunological centers in the United States to study patients with similar disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an anti-HIV drug regimen followed by treatment interruption in people recently infected with HIV. This study will also compare the effects of a treatment regimen including treatment interruption with a treatment plan based on clinical indicators.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 30-day survival will be improved with addition of prednisone to standard tuberculosis (TB) therapy.
The aim of this prospective randomised controlled trial is to compare the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection in 2 groups of patients with hemato-oncological disease: Group A: heparin-coated central venous catheters (Control Group) Group B: antiseptic-coated (chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine) central venous catheters
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of isavuconazole versus caspofungin followed by voriconazole in the treatment of candidemia and other invasive Candida infections.
The primary objective is to assess the safety of telithromycin (HMR 3647) (20% fine granules) 1g filling sachet in children with infections (Respiratory tract infections, Dermatological infections, Otorhinolaryngological infections, Dentistry/Oral surgery infections). Secondary objectives are to assess the clinical efficacy, bacteriological efficacy and acceptability of telithromycin (20% fine granules) 1g filling sachet in children with infections.
