The study is planned to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of XC8, film-coated tablets, in the treatment of dry non-productive cough on the background of acute respiratory infections in children from 6 to 17 years compared with placebo.
The study is planned to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Ingavirin®, capsules, 60 mg, in the treatment of influenza or other acute respiratory infections in children from 13 to 17 years compared with placebo.
The study titled " The Effect of Definitive Identification of Viral Etiology in Emergency Department Patients with Acute Respiratory Infection on Antibiotic Utilization (RADIATE)" aims to investigate the effectiveness of a rapid diagnostic approach in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the emergency department (ED) for patients presenting with acute respiratory illness (ARI) due to a virus. Using a prospective design, eligible participants are individuals who visit the ED with complaints related to acute respiratory illness. The study will employ a single-arm consecutive enrollment approach. The intervention involves the implementation of a rapid point-of-care multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to promptly identify the viral cause of the infection. By utilizing a rapid diagnostic tool to identify viral etiology, the study aims to provide healthcare professionals in the ED with more accurate information to guide treatment decisions. Ultimately, the goal is to decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics for ARI's due to a virus, which has several negative outcomes including promotion of antibiotic resistance, exacerbating ED length of stay and encouraging unnecessary additional diagnostic tests.
Influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections remain practically uncontrollable diseases due to the high variability of the antigenic structure of influenza viruses and the heterogeneity of pathogens of acute respiratory infections. Therefore, for the prevention and treatment of influenza, acute respiratory viral infections and herpes infections, it is relevant to develop drugs - immunomodulators that mobilize the reserves of nonspecific and specific immune systems and enhance the effects of these systems against the pathogens. The drug CYCLOFERON, 150 mg, enteric-coated tablets, contains the active substance meglumine acridone acetate, which is an interferon inducer. Interferons are the most important system of innate immunity, which has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, and can protect the body from infection with a virus, and in case of infection, fight the causative agent of the disease. The planned clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of the drug CYCLOFERON in the dosage form of a tablet will study its ability to prevent influenza and other respiratory viral infections in adults who have already had close contact with patients with manifest disease.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the optimal supportive treatment of bronchiolitis in infants from 0-12 months of age. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To investigate whether isotonic saline should be used as supportive treatment for children with bronchiolitis, and if so, identify the optimal route of administration. The primary outcome is duration of hospitalization. - To investigate the current epidemiology of the viral pathogens causing bronchitis in children in Denmark, and to assess whether children infected with specific pathogens might benefit from treatment with isotonic saline. The children are randomized after inclusion through computer randomization to one of the 3 arms in the study: 1. Nebulized isotonic saline 2. Nasal irrigation with isotonic saline 3. No treatment with saline The investigators will compare treatment with saline (both methods) with no treatment, and the investigators will also compare the two methods of delivery of saline (nebulized vs. nasal irrigation).
The trial "Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of herbal products for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections including SARS-CoV2 in Uganda; Phase 2A Open Label Clinical Trial" is currently being implemented under the Clinical Trials of Natural therapeutics Program. The trial sample size is 510, and the participants include adults (18 years or more) who fulfill the case definitions of acute respiratory infections (ARI), test positive for one of the target respiratory viruses, are negative for TB on GeneXpert; non-pregnant/non-breast-feeding females, have no history of hypersensitivity to any of the investigational products, and have given written consent to participate in the trial. The overall objective of the trial is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of TazCoV and Vidicine for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections including (SARS-CoV2, RSV and Influenza A/B) in Uganda. Primary objectives include: 1. To determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of TAZCOV and Vidicine herbal products among adult participants patients with acute respiratory infections including those due to laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV2, RSV and Influenza A/B 2. To determine the extent of SARS-CoV2, RSV, and Influenza A/B viral clearance among adult participants patients with acute viral respiratory infection treated using TAZCOV and Vidicine 3. To establish time-to-remission of symptoms among participants patients with acute respiratory infections including those due to laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV2, RSV and Influenza treated with TAZCOV or Vidicine 4. To evaluate disease progression among participants patients with acute respiratory infections including those due to laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV2, RSV and Influenza treated with TAZCOV or Vidicine The end points include: Solicited and unsolicited side effects (mild, moderate, severe, adverse and serious adverse events), days to viral clearance (RT-PCR negativity) for those with a positive viral test at enrolment and time to presenting symptom resolution. The Pharmacokinetic endpoints include: the maximum concentration of IMP in plasma [Cmax], time taken for the IMP plasma concentration to reach maximum levels [Tmax] and time taken for the concentration of the IMP in the plasma or the total amount in the body to be reduced by 50%.
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are one of the most frequent reasons for hospital admission and antibiotic use, and can be caused by a broad range of pathogens, including respiratory viruses with proven epidemic potential, e.g. influenza and coronaviruses. The POS-ARI-ER study will focus on describing the different routine diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the work-up and treatment of ARI, as well as clinical outcomes across the patient population. In addition, POS-ARI-ER aims to characterise both the adult patient population with ARI presenting to acute hospital settings in Europe, and the aetiology of ARI in these patients.
Rapid diagnosis and precise treatment have become possible with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels that can identify a variety of causative agents of acute respiratory illnesses such as bacterial and viral infections in one urgent care visit. While real-time PCR is currently used as a standard for diagnosing acute respiratory illnesses such as influenza due to its high sensitivity and specificity, it typically takes several hours for results which is unfavorable in the urgent care setting. Highly sensitive and rapid random-access PCR tests provide the sensitivity and specificity needed to both rapidly and accurately diagnose acute respiratory illnesses. Similar PCR panels have been used in previous research for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal illnesses in the emergency department and point-of-care testing for hospitalized adults presenting with acute respiratory illness. In this study, the investigators aim to determine if a rapid multiplex PCR test for urgent care patients with symptomatic upper respiratory infections can improve patient and provider-reported outcomes. This study utilizes the Biofire® FilmArray Panel (RP2.1-EZ) which in previous studies has been shown to be highly effective in diagnosing acute respiratory illnesses.
Acute respiratory infections (such as influenza-like illness and upper respiratory tract infection) and acute infectious diarrhea are, for the most part, conditions that do not require medical management or specific treatment. Depending on the level of their transmission in the community, however, these diseases place significant clinical and financial burden on the healthcare system, particularly on emergency departments (ED). The investigators propose a prospective multicenter cohort study with which they aim to validate clinical decision rules combining 1) rapid molecular tests and 2) risk stratification tools to identify patients at low risk for complications related to acute respiratory infection and acute infectious diarrhea. The use of these clinical decision rules by nurses in ED triage could allow low-risk patients to be sent directly home for self-treatment without having to see the emergency physician. By eliminating the need for physician assessment, paraclinical testing and prolonged waiting in the ED, these triage-based clinical decision rules could provide a new, safe care pathway for acute respiratory infections and acute infectious diarrhea, reducing the burden on the patient, the healthcare system, and society.
