Filter by:This was a Phase 2/3, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OBV/PTV/RTV) with or without dasabuvir (DSV) and with or without ribavirin (RBV) in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 or 4 (GT1 or GT4)-infected pediatric participants of ≥ 3 to 17 years of age.
This multicentre, parallel group, block randomised clinical trial aims to investigate the post booster antibody response in UK infants given a reduced priming schedule of meningococcal serogroup B vaccine and 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. It will provide information about how best to include the meningococcal B vaccine (likely to be introduced late 2015) into the routine immunisation schedule. The UK Department of Health provides a routine vaccination schedule for children in the UK and are advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The Department of Health have announced that the meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero) be introduced to the routine schedule as a 2+1 schedule. Cost effectiveness could also be improved by removing the current MenC conjugate vaccine dose given at 3 months of age. There is no published immunogenicity data for Bexsero when given at 2, 4 and 12 months of age (2+1 schedule) and with concomitant Infanrix/IPV/Hib which has now replaced Pediacel in the infant programme. This change to the schedule would result in three injections at 2, 4 and 12 months, and given previous reluctance among parents for three injections at one visit, an option to reduce PCV13 to a 1+1 schedule (priming dose at 3 months and booster at 12 months) will be assessed in this study.
This phase II trial studies how well donor cytotoxic T lymphocytes work in treating patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are made from donated blood cells that are grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill viruses that can cause infections in transplant patients and may be an effective treatment in patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus.
This study is a two-arm prospective 1:1 randomised controlled trial comparing the proportion of patients between: Group 1: vorinostat/hydroxychloroquine/maraviroc (VHM) co-administered with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) Group 2: ART only who are able to maintain HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml following treatment interruption. Subjects will be recruited from RV254/SEARCH 010, an acute HIV infection cohort conducted by the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre in Bangkok, Thailand. The study will run for a minimum of 34 weeks from screening.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AB103 is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) receiving standard of care therapy.
Probiotics are commercially available live bacteria thought to have health benefits when ingested. A literature review of probiotic studies in the intensive care unit (ICU) found that in patients who receive probiotics, there is a 25% reduction in lung infection, known as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). There is also an 18% reduction in the chance of developing any infection in the ICU. However, the studies reviewed were small and not well done. Therefore, whether probiotics are really helpful or not is unclear. Before a large carefully performed study is done to evaluate the effects of probiotics in critically ill patients, a pilot trial was needed. The Investigators completed a multicenter pilot RCT for which the primary outcomes relate to feasibility. Feasibility goals were met. 1) Recruitment for the Pilot was achieved in 1 year; 2) Adherence to the protocol was 96%; 3) There were no cases of contamination; 4) The VAP rate was 15%. This study is very important in the ongoing search for more effective strategies to prevent serious infection during critical illness. Probiotics may be an easy-to-use, readily available, inexpensive approach to help future critically ill patients around the world.
HOME FIRST (Home Followed - up with Infection Respiratory Support Team) is an early supported discharge scheme. It will enable patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) to be provided with high quality safe, effective, efficient patient centred care, tailored to their needs in their own home; aiming to improve the overall experience of the service user, improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital length of stay whilst simultaneously reducing admission rates, an area of major strategic importance to the NHS.
This was a Phase 4, multicenter, open-label safety study of a single 1200 milligrams (mg) IV infusion of oritavancin in adult participants on chronic warfarin with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) suspected or proven to be caused by Gram-positive pathogens. An additional group of participants with ABSSSI, who were not on concomitant warfarin therapy, were also enrolled to obtain additional information following a single dose of oritavancin administration.
This phase II trial studies surgery in treating patients with anal canal or perianal cancer that is small and has not spread deeply into the tissues and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Local surgery may be a safer treatment with fewer side effects than bigger surgery or radiation and chemotherapy.
Subjects will receive an oral dose of SER-109 in 4 capsules once daily for 3 consecutive days. The purpose of this study is to provide access to SER-109 for adult subjects with recurrent Clostridioides Difficile Infection (RCDI) and to monitor subject safety and report to regulatory authorities, as appropriate.
