Filter by:This study looks at the difference between XF-73 and placebo in reducing the carriage of a bacteria S. aureus in the nose before, during and after heart surgery. Only people who normally have S.aureus in their nose will be enrolled onto the study. This will be confirmed by analysis of a nasal swab (a cotton bud placed in the nose) before entering the study. It is expected 125 people will participate in this study. Participation will be confirmed by analysis of a nasal swab (a cotton bud placed in the nose) before entering the study. XF-73 or placebo will be given 5 times, with an equal chance of participants receiving either XF-73 or placebo. During the hospital stay more nasal swabs will be taken to determine the amount of S.aureus present in the participant's nose. Other tests such as blood samples, blood pressure and an examination of the nose and sense of smell will be performed as part of the safety assessment. After the hospital stay participants will be followed up for 30 days or if a device has been inserted into the body as part of the surgery for 90 days to look at the rates of post-operative infection between the placebo and XF-73 groups. The study will run for about 18 months. During this period, an independent data monitoring committee will review the study to make sure that the balance of benefits and risks of participating in the study does not change.
The purpose of this project is to validate the diagnostic orientation properties of two new biomarkers (CD64, CD169) for patients with infectious syndromes arriving in emergency departments. This prospective observational study will focus on the quantification of these biomarkers on a hematology tube background (Pr Morange laboratory) without modifying the usual diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The results of these assays will be compared with the diagnoses made at the end of treatment in order to determine their sensitivity and specificity. This study is the preliminary study, necessary to determine the detection characteristics of these biomarkers.
Direct constitution of collections from various samples taken on a prospective cohort of healthy volunteers, to prepare human biological samples of known characteristics (biochemical and serological in particular) and quality controlled.
This study evaluates the presence and quantity of non-caloric sweeteners in newborns umbilical cord blood, and in their mother's breast milk at delivery, at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months of age. Microbiota composition will be evaluated in milk and in feces of both mother and child.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine the difference in clearance of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) when using the Australian management protocol versus the current Centers of Disease Control (CDC) treatment guidelines for US standard of care (SOC), to determine the proportion of men from the Deep South, with NGU attributable to MG, and to determine the proportion of MG cases that harbor the macrolide-resistance associated with mutation.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of HS-10234 versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
endTB-Q Clinical Trial is a Phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label, non-inferiority, multi-country trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of two new, all-oral, shortened regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) with fluoroquinolone resistance.
A national data registry of patients receiving the rescue fecal microbiota transplantation for the refractory intestinal infections from the China Microbiota Transplantation System was designed to assess the short-term and long-term safety and efficacy.
The NASCITA study (NAscere e creSCere in ITAlia) was created to improve the understanding of the health status of Italian children early on and how it is affected by social and health determinants. The study will evaluate physical, cognitive, and psychological development, and health status and health resource use during the first six years of life in a group of newborns, as well as potential associated factors. The association between the well-being of children and parental adherence to the recommendations for better child care and development will also be assessed. Information on the children will be collected by paediatricians mostly during routine visits. The findings will be used in the development of specific prevention measures and interventions to improve the health of children, in particular more vulnerable ones.
Antibiotic use may be associated with effects on the perception of smell and taste. These effects are poorly known. The mechanisms can be very diverse, and the effect can be very variable depending on the type of antibiotic used, the dose, and the duration. The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the taste and olfactory capacities of patients, during an antibiotic treatment.
