Filter by:This is an open-label, randomized, single-center, 2-period, 2-sequence, single-dose crossover design study in adult male and female healthy participants. Eligible participants will receive either treatment A (reference): Fluimucil® Acetylcysteine 2% oral solution, 200 mg N- acetylcysteine (NAC) in 10 mL dose, or treatment B (test): Acetylcysteine 2% oral solution, 200 mg NAC in 10 mL dose. Blood sampling will be collected pre-dose and up to 48 hours in each period. After completion of the second study period (i.e. last pharmacokinetic (PK) sample on Day 3 of Period 2) participants will be discharged from the clinic.
Probiotics are microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed. The term probiotic is currently used to name ingested microorganisms associated with beneficial effects to humans and animals. Probiotics are popularized in the lay literature for many different clinical problems. They have been studied in infants and children as a preventive or treatment for a variety of infections. Studies on the medical benefits of probiotics have yet to reveal a cause-effect relationship, and their medical effectiveness has yet to be conclusively proven for most of the studies conducted thus far. The putative benefit of probiotics in the prevention of infection relates to potential benefits to the innate and adaptive immune systems of infants. The goals of this investigation are to study immune system cell function and microbiome in children who are taking probiotics. To accomplish this goal, we propose a pilot study for which we will obtain blood and nasopharyngeal and stool samples prior to and post probiotic use in children greater than 12 months-36 months over a 27-38 day period
Polymyxin B is already being used extensively in the USA and other parts of the world; its use is likely to rapidly increase due to the greater burden of infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria and the growing awareness of the limitations inherent in the clinical pharmacology of CMS/colistin. Cross resistance exists between the two polymyxins and thus both must be dosed optimally; but the recently generated scientifically-based dosage regimens for CMS/colistin cannot be extrapolated to polymyxin B. It is essential that an adequately powered study is conducted to define the clinical PK/PD/TD relationships of polymyxin B and identify, using next-generation proteomics, biomarkers for early detection of kidney injury. This will allow the development of scientifically-based dosage regimens for various categories of patients and an adaptive feedback control clinical tool for optimized dosing of polymyxin B in future individual patients.
Peramivir is the first intravenous neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) available for treatment of uncomplicated influenza in adults. Data from placebo-controlled trials in outpatients have shown antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Although the unmet need for intravenous therapy lies mainly with patients hospitalized with complicated diseases, such data are limited because of feasibility and ethical considerations for placebo-controlled studies. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine more specifically treatment effects of peramivir in adults hospitalized with influenza-associated lower respiratory tract complications (LRTC). Such findings may have important implications on clinical management.
Phase IV trial,Single-arm, multi-centre clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Fuganlin Oral Liquid in children with acute upper respiratory infection
The aim of the present study is to test the efficacy of the combination of two probiotic bacteria in reducing the severity of upper respiratory tract infections (common cold) in healthy children attending day care or school. The probiotic bacteria used are Lactobacillus plantarum strain DSM 15312 and Lactobacillus paracasei DSM 13434 at a total dose of 1 x 10^9 CFU/tablet and day and will be consumed for a period of 12 weeks.
This observational, non-interventional multicentric study compares the inhalation therapy on patients suffering on respiratory tract infections and/or acute bronchitis between Ectoin inhalation solution and Pari NaCl (0.9%) inhalation solution
Randomized, double blind, double dummy, positive drug parallel comparison, multi-centre clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Fuganlin Oral Liquid in children with influenza (acute upper respiratory infection).
Up to date, some clinical trial have evaluated the efficacy and safety of Vitamin D supplementation in children with RRI, with no conclusive information. Therefore, the investigators designed a prospective, single-blind, clinical trial to evaluate whether oral supplementation with vitamin D from October to April reduces the global health burden of recurrent respiratory tract infections in a primary care setting. The primary outcome was evaluated if Vitamin D supplementation during autumn and winter can reduce the number of respiratory tract infections in children diagnosed with recurrent respiratory tract infections the seasons before. Secondary objectives was the assessment of Vitamin D supplementation benefits on global socioeconomic burden of recurrent respiratory tract infections in a primary care setting, according to number of visits to the primary care paediatrician and use of antibiotics due to respiratory tract infections.
This project aimed at analyzing and assessing of the early and late Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia(HAP) bacterial pathogens and their resistance to antimicrobial agents. The incidence of their resistance to antimicrobial agent is assessed. Included are patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Departments of cooperated University hospitals, who developed early or late HAP. Bacterial pathogens and their resistance to antibiotics are identified using standard microbiological methods. The patient's mortality with respect to their initial antibiotic therapy is statistically analyzed.
