This is a multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded, comparator-controlled study. Participants were to be randomized (1:1) to daptomycin or comparator, stratified by degree of renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 - 50 milliliters per minute [mL/min] [moderate impairment] and <30 mL/min [severe impairment]) and by type of infection (bacteremia and complicated skin and skin structure infections [cSSSI]) to create 4 cohorts defined as follows: - Cohort 1: Bacteremia and CLcr <30 mL/min - Cohort 2: Bacteremia and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min - Cohort 3: cSSSI and CLcr <30 mL/min - Cohort 4: cSSSI and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min Participants will be treated and evaluated for safety and microbiological and clinical efficacy in accordance with their type of infection and degree of renal impairment. Peak and trough samples will be collected to assess exposure to daptomycin for participants on Day 1 and following the 5th dose.
In the context of an insufficiency of clinical results for cortical stimulation in treatment of brachial plexus post-avulsion pains, one of the possibility for failure is the bad pre-surgery mapping of the area to stimulated bu the usual methods (PEM et fMRI). This purpose of this study is to realise a precise mapping of the primary motor cortex post brachial plexus avulsion. The principal endpoints is to identify and test the reliability of a muscular marker for which the cortical representation is localized immediately next to the superior member area. Several muscles of cephalic, cervical and chest area will be investigate. The methods used will be mono-shock transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) and functional MRI. Concerning mTMS, several methods will be tested: best position on the scalp, realisation of outputs maps with extreme points average method, with mass center method. Concerning fMRI studies, the above paradigms will be checked: imaginary movements of hand, blow up and down abdomen, eyes winking. Statistical tests will confirm the best muscle candidate and will permit to evaluate the reliability of the method.
The study will be conducted in asymptomatic pregnant women with P. falciparum parasitemia. The subjects will be given 3 day dosing regiment of the fixed-dose combination of Azithromycin and Chloroquine. Parasitological clearance rate with polymerase chain reaction data will be evaluated on Day 28 as primary endpoint.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given with isotretinoin in treating patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Isotretinoin may help cells that are involved in the body's immune response to work better. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with isotretinoin may kill more tumor cells
To generate additional long-term safety and efficacy data on flibanserin in premenopausal women and establish long-term safety and tolerability of flibanserin in naturally postmenopausal women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder who have completed a prior clinical trial of flibanserin (Trial 511.130, 511.147, or 511.156).
patients are allocated to one of the two study groups. In both groups a mixture of 60% nitrous oxide and 40% oxygen is administered through a face mask. In the first group the patient receives a constant concentration of sevoflurane. In this group the remifentanil concentration will be injected via an intravenous line in a step up protocol. In the second group remifentanil is injected in a fixed rate and sevoflurane is administered in a step up concentration. During the study, at predefined times, we will assess different levels of sedation (OAA/S score) and the reaction on tetanic stimulation of the ulnar nerve, insertion of a laryngeal mask airway and laryngoscopy. In addition heart rate, SpO2 and capnography will be recorded continuously and non invasive bloodpressure will be recorded using a 1 minute interval time. Spectral entropy and BIS derived from the frontal EEG will be used to monitor clinical cerebral drug effect. The null hypothesis is that remifentanil lowers the concentration of sevoflurane dissolved in a mixture of 60% nitrous oxide and 40% oxygen to (1) tolerate a specific stimulation and to (2) obtain a certain electroencephalographic parameter value and vice versa. Additionally the results of this study will be compared with a former interaction study of the same study group that did not involve nitrous oxide, in order to depict the shift in the response surface evoked by nitrous oxide.
The primary objective is to establish superiority of AZCQ over SP in protective efficacy for IPTp as measured by the proportion of subjects with sub-optimal pregnancy outcome.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2 study of OSI-906 or placebo at a continuous 150 mg twice daily (BID) dose.
While neurocognitive impairments in attention, memory and executive functioning are commonly reported sequelae of childhood leukemia and brain tumors, studies have only recently begun to examine the treatment of attention deficits in this population. Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of methylphenidate in the treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, the effectiveness of this medication for improving attention and behavioral functioning in children with medical illnesses or brain injury are less clear. Patients will be randomized to receive one week of Metadate CD (a controlled release form of methylphenidate, similar to Ritalin) and one week of placebo in a double-blind fashion.
