Filter by:To evaluate if the combination of pivmecillinam and clavulanic acid (PAC) is non-inferior to ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or ertapenem as step down oral therapy in patients with febrile UTI caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales (EPE).
Phase IV, open-labeled, randomized and multicenter clinical trial to demonstrate the superiority of antibiotics with authorized indication for 7 days versus 14 days in the treatment of bloodstream infections produced by P. aeruginosa (BSI-PA).
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global problem, particularly in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), including Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii, are among the most common pathogens associated with multidrug resistance and HAIs. These bacteria are of special concern because few therapeutic options are available. Traditionally, the duration of treatment for severe multidrug-resistant (MDR)-GNB infections is 14 days. Studies of severe infections by GNB, regardless of susceptibility profile, have shown that shorter antimicrobial treatments are not inferior to traditional durations of therapy and are associated with a lower incidence of adverse effects. However, there are currently no studies assessing whether shorter duration of antimicrobial treatment is effective for MDR-GNB. This open-label, randomized clinical trial aims to assess the non-inferiority of 7-day antibiotic therapy compared to conventional 14-day treatment in severe infections by MDR-GNB.
Current management of uncomplicated Gram-negative bacteraemia entails prolong intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy with limited evidence to guide oral conversion. This trial aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy and economic impact of early step-down to oral antibiotics (within 72 hours from index blood culture collection) versus continuing standard of care IV therapy (for at least another 24 hours post-randomisation) for clinically stable / non-critically ill inpatients with uncomplicated Gram-negative bacteraemia.
Phase 1b/2a, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Intravenous AP SA02 as an Adjunct to Best Available Antibiotic Therapy Compared to Best Available Antibiotic Therapy Alone for the Treatment of Adults With Bacteremia Due to Staphylococcus aureus
The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial is an International Multi-Centered Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to evaluate a range of interventions to reduce mortality for patients with Staphylococcus Aureus bacteraemia (SAB).
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate, among patients with non-complicated CR-BSIs due to S. aureus, that a single-dose of intravenous (IV) dalbavancin 1500 mg is non-inferior to standard documented antibiotic therapy for 14 days according to national guidelines at DAY 30 (Long follow up visit). As the secondary objectives, the study aims to evaluate according to treatment group: 1. Cure rate at DAY 14 and DAY 90 (EOS); 2. Mortality rate within 90 days of follow-up; 3. Time to negativation of blood cultures; 4. Patient's quality of life; 5. Hospitalization length of stay; 6. Cost-utility analyses; 7. Occurrence of any adverse event (AE and SAE), until Day 90 (EOS).
Blood culture samples from bacteremia patients positive for Gram-negative bacteria will be tested for antibacterial susceptibility using Resistell Phenotech device. The results will be compared with current AST gold standard tests to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Resistell Phenotech device.
Insulin resistance is defined as a decrease in the ability of insulin to lower blood glucose levels. Various pathological conditions can cause an increase in insulin resistance, such as sepsis, administration of certain medications, various stressful situations, surgery or significant injuries, etc. Sepsis can cause extreme stress, which causes significant changes in metabolism, disruption of blood glucose regulation and increased insulin resistance. In sepsis there is an extreme activation of inflammatory mediators and of counter-regulatory hormones, such as cortisol, glucagon and catecholamines, which increase hepatic gluconeogenesis on the one hand, and increase the peripheral resistance to insulin on the other hand. Disorder in the regulation of blood glucose level causes increased mortality and morbidity among intensive care unit patients with sepsis, as well as an increase in the duration of hospitalization and its financial expenses. There are a number of parameters used in the intensive care unit to diagnose the development of sepsis within the unit, such as an increase or decrease in body temperature, an increase in CRP level, white blood cell count, pro-calcitonin level, etc It is possible that an increase in insulin resistance can also be used as a predictor of sepsis. It should be noted that almost all patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit are treated with a continuous infusion of insulin to balance their blood glucose level, including patients who are not diagnosed with diabetes prior to their hospitalization in the unit. This is in light of the increase in insulin resistance for the reasons listed above among patients in critical condition, and also due to the need to maintain blood glucose values in the range of 140-180 mg/dl, since high blood glucose values among patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We would therefore like to investigate whether an increase in insulin resistance, as expressed in an increase in the patient's insulin intake, can predict the development of sepsis secondary to bacteremia in the intensive care unit.
This is a single-center prospective bio-specimen analysis and observational study aiming to define immune pathways disrupted in bacterial sepsis and to identify clinically useful biomarkers of immune status.
