Filter by:This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled study, with the urinary tract infection rate at the time of catheter insertion for 1 week as the primary end point. By comparing the clinical safety and effectiveness of two kinds of urethral catheters, to evaluate the clinical application effect of one kind of urethral catheters.
This is a Phase 4, multi-center, open-label, randomized pragmatic superiority clinical trial comparing two strategies for initial or step-down oral therapy for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy. The trial will evaluate the success and safety of a strategy of initial or step-down fosfomycin, administered at a dose of 3 g once daily, vs. a strategy of initial or step-down levofloxacin administered at a dose of 750 mg once daily. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral therapy is allowed 1) if the causative pathogen is not susceptible in vitro to quinolone initial or step-down therapy in a subject randomized to the levofloxacin strategy, OR 2) if the subject develops an intolerance or allergy to the initial step-down oral therapy and at the investigator's discretion, OR 3) the subject has an underlying condition posing increasing risk for adverse events from quinolone therapy. The duration of oral therapy (initial + investigator-directed adjustment if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any per protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible. The dosing of oral therapy depends on creatinine clearance (CrCl). The trial will enroll approximately 634 patients that are either male or female aged 18 or older with cUTI from outpatient and inpatient settings. The study will take place over 25 months in up to 15 US sites. The primary objective is to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of treatment success rates at Test of Cure (TOC).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of antibiotic flomoxef with cefepime for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) in Russian adults.
The aim of this study is to determine whether antibiotics prophylaxis at the time of urinary catheter removal decreases the number of symptomatic urinary tract infections in patients after radical prostatectomy. In addition, the investigators aim to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis is potentially harmful to patients (e.g. adverse reactions from antibiotic use, resistant bacteria in the urine, Clostridium difficile infections etc.). The investigators also aim to identify specific populations that may be at higher risk of developing urinary tract infections with urinary catheter use after radical prostatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the study Foley catheter with its patterned external surface can delay the time to the onset of urinary tract infection in spinal cord injury patients who are dependent on a Foley catheter for drainage of their urinary bladder.
The purpose of this trial is to make a comparison between the use of antiseptic silver alloy-coated silicone urinary catheters and the use of conventional silicone urinary catheters in spinal cord injured patients to prevent urinary infections.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility of recruiting eligible patients for the purposes of assessing the temporal aspects and rates of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), based on the agreed-upon case definition so that the numbers needed for a pivotal study can be better estimated.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether cranberry capsules reduce rates of urinary tract infections during initial rehabilitation immediately after spinal cord injury.
After spinal cord injury, patients have frequent urinary tract infections (UVI). Vitamin C is usually prescribed to prevent such infection, but the efficacy of the treatment is poorly documented. In the study, patients will be randomised either to receive vitamin C daily, or not, for one year, and clinical episodes of UVI will be registered. The null hypothesis is that vitamin C will not reduce the number of UVI episodes by 30%.
