Filter by:This study aims to estimate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of posaconazole (POS, MK-5592) intravenous (IV) and powder for oral suspension (PFS) formulations in pediatric participants <2 years of age with invasive fungal infection (IFI).
After 7 then 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation in France in children, we will evaluate the impact of this vaccination on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We will describe the clinical characteristics of IPD, pneumococcus serotyping, underlying conditions and vaccination status.
Respiratory infections such as colds, flu and pneumonia affect millions of people around the world every year. Most cases are mild, but some people become very unwell. Influenza ('flu') is one of the most common causes of lung infection. Seasonal flu affects between 10% and 46% of the population each year and causes around 12 deaths in every 100,000 people infected. In addition, both influenza and coronaviruses have caused pandemics in recent years, leading to severe disease in many people. Although flu vaccines are available, these need to change every year to overcome rapid changes in the virus and are not completely protective. This study aims to find and develop predictive tests to better understand how and when flu-like illness progresses to more severe disease. This may help to decide which people need to be admitted to hospital, and how their treatment needs to be increased or decreased during infection. The aim is to recruit 100 patients admitted to hospital due to a respiratory infection. It is voluntary to take part and participants can choose to withdraw at any time. The study will involve some blood and nose samples. This will be done on Day 0, Day 2 and Discharge from hospital, and an out-patient follow-up visit on Day 28. The data will be used to develop novel diagnostic tools to assist in rational treatment decisions that will benefit both individual patients and resource allocation. It will also establish research preparedness for upcoming pandemics.
This is a prospective observational study using a mobile study platform (app) that is designed for use on Android phones. Study participants will provide baseline demographic and medical information and report symptoms of respiratory infection on a weekly basis using the app. Participants will also report use of prevention techniques on the weekly survey. Mobility data will be collected passively using the sensors on the participant's smartphone, if the participant has granted the proper device permissions. The overall goals of the study are to track spread of coronavirus-like illness (CLI), influenza-like illness (ILI) and non-specific respiratory illness (NSRI) on a near-real time basis and identify specific behaviors associated with an increased or decreased risk of developing these conditions.
Study Type: A multi-site, parallel group, randomized trial. Study Objectives: The objective is to evaluate safety and determine preliminary efficacy of VT-X7 (Vancomycin and Tobramycin Exchanged over 7 Days). Efficacy is evaluated as superiority of the Experimental Arm in a composite endpoint of Overall Success at 90 days, consisting of a revision prosthesis implanted at Stage 2, patient survival, absence of reoperation and absence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Secondary objectives are to evaluate superiority at 365 days in a composite endpoint of Overall Success, and in separate secondary endpoints for quality of life and patient survival. The exploratory objective is to compare Experimental and Control Arms in exploratory endpoints. Follow-up: Patients will be evaluated at 90-, 180-, and 365-day follow-up visits.
Patients suspected with infection is one of the major groups, who are admitted to the Danish Emergency Departments (ED). Currently, there is no overall description of the distribution of these infections. The aim of this study is to characterize ED patients with a suspected infection whereby the focus of the infection is of an unknown origin.
Reports of maternal seroconversion to CMV during pregnancy can be extremely stressful. This virus is little known to the general public and searching for information on the Internet quickly leads to a consultation of a site mentioning the risk of severe psychomotor retardation in the event of prenatal cytomegalovirus infection. The psychological repercussions in the event of prenatal CMV infection with criteria of severity, leading or not to a request for IMG, is undeniable, but no study has investigated the consequences of seroconversion to CMV without transmission of the virus to the patient fetus, or in the case of transmission without criteria of seriousness, on the patient's experience during and after her pregnancy. Such a study would, if necessary, improve the care and support of these future mothers
To assess the efficacy and safety of FOY-305 in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) in a placebo-controlled, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group comparative study.
This study aims to evaluate if the application of chlorhexidine gluconate dressing on surgical drain sites can decrease drain site infection vs the standard of care (dry, sterile gauze).
The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases has not yet been widely reported, and has been evaluated only in symptomatic patient samples. The proportion of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients is unknown, in patients who share common symptoms with CoV-2-SARS infection. Our objective is to describe the prevalence of seroconversion to CoV-2-SARS by consecutive screening in routine care of patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism with serological testing
