Filter by:This project will test the effect of nicorandil to mitigate the lung damage that can occur as a side effect of radiation therapy for lung cancer. Thousands of veterans develop lung cancer every year, and are treated by radiation therapy. Studies of lung radiation injury in laboratory animals show that with nicorandil, investigators can significantly reduce the severity of lung fibrosis and heart toxicity.1,2 Nicorandil is FDA approved and in common use for treatment of angina. These studies will advance that work to human use. Successful mitigation of lung radiation damage and heart toxicity will improve the quality of life in veterans and non-veterans who are treated for lung cancer by radiation, and may also improve cure rates of radiation therapy for lung cancer.
This is a phase III, multi-center, open-label, comparative and randomized study in evaluating the efficacy and safety of cefoperazone/sulbactam versus cefepime for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia and healthcare-associated pneumonia. The investigator will determine the total duration of study therapy, as clinically indicated. The minimum duration of study therapy will be 7 days and the maximum allowable duration of study therapy will be 21 days.
Several case report showed that the co-infection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The aim of this study is to elucidate the prevalence and its clinical significance of co-infection of Mycoplasma pneumonia in patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis.
