Filter by:The objectives of the study are - to determine the prevalence of respiratory virus infections in COPD patients, during and outside acute exacerbation - to explore the impact of these viral infections on the outcome of these patients - to explore the association between blood procalcitonin levels and viral infections in this population.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mucinex D tablets in providing symptom relief when administered as an adjunct to antibiotic therapy in patients with acute respiratory infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how two different aerosol medications may improve airway function in infants with respiratory illness. We are using two different medications and comparing the difference in lung function after each medication. We will also be taking a nasal wash sample for VEGF. We will be using this in comparing how infants respond to the aerosol medications as well. We hope to help standardize medications used for infants with bronchiolitis and RSV.
Studies for GSK580416 have been completed in rats and dogs. The main toxic effects seen in animals affected the digestive system and blood cells. Study OPS106400 will be the first administration of GSK580416 in humans. Parts A and B of this study will examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of increasing single doses of GSK580416 with reference to placebo. Part C of the study will assess the effect of food on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of GSK580416 in healthy subjects.
To assess the effects of Bacillus clausii (Enterogermina®) on fecal microbial flora (using Polymerase Chain Reaction - Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis - PCR-DGGE - Method) in antibiotic-treated children with complicated acute otitis media or beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngo-tonsillitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the utilization patterns and compliance rates of palivizumab, which is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection.
The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between interferon-gamma levels and the incidence of viral respiratory infections in allergic children treated with allergy immunotherapy as compared to those treated with standard medical care (nasal steroids, antihistamines) over a 1-year period. The hypotheses to be tested are 1) interferon-gamma levels will be significantly increased 3, 6, 9 and 12 months in allergic children treated with allergy immunotherapy as compared to those treated with standard medical care, 2) the incidence of viral respiratory infections will be reduced at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months in allergic children treated with allergy immunotherapy as compared to those treated with standard medical care.
This study examines the cold processes of children aged 6 to less than 14. Children will be seen by the study staff 6 days in a row during the course of their naturally-acquired colds. Nasal secretions will be examined for chemicals that the body creates during a cold. Skin cells will be collected by brushing the inside of the child's cheek with a small brush. The cells will be examined for genes that may hold control the creation of these chemicals.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerosolized antibiotics on respiratory infection in mechanically ventilated patients.We hypothesize that aerosolized antibiotics , which achieve high drug concentrations in the airway, would more effectively treat respiratory infection, decrease the need for systemic antibiotics and decrease antibiotic resistance.
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety in patients with Laryngopharyngitis or Tonsillitis or Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis receiving a dose of 2 g of azithromycin in the SR formulation.
