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.
This study will follow participants with a disease which is associated with an absence or deficiency in Complement Factor I (CFI) as confirmed in the CFI-001 screening study.
The Investigators aim to study the outcomes of serious infections due to vancomycin susceptible infections in gram-positive organisms susceptible to vancomycin in people who use drugs (PWUD). The Investigators hypothesize, that a simplified 2-dose dalbavancin regimen, will improve compliance with antimicrobial therapy and that it may facilitate engagement in the treatment of the underlying substance use disorder, and particularly injection drug use - often the true etiology behind these severe infections.
PredictEndTB signature is a non-inferiority, prospective, parallel-group open-label randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of individualised antituberculous treatment durations that utilize the transcriptomic signature-based model compared to the standardised twenty months treatment in a cohort of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
Respiratory infections such as colds, flu and pneumonia affect millions of people around the world every year. Most cases are mild, but some people become very unwell. Influenza ('flu') is one of the most common causes of lung infection. Seasonal flu affects between 10% and 46% of the population each year and causes around 12 deaths in every 100,000 people infected. In addition, both influenza and coronaviruses have caused pandemics in recent years, leading to severe disease in many people. Although flu vaccines are available, these need to change every year to overcome rapid changes in the virus and are not completely protective. This study aims to find and develop predictive tests to better understand how and when flu-like illness progresses to more severe disease. This may help to decide which people need to be admitted to hospital, and how their treatment needs to be increased or decreased during infection. The aim is to recruit 100 patients admitted to hospital due to a respiratory infection. It is voluntary to take part and participants can choose to withdraw at any time. The study will involve some blood and nose samples. This will be done on Day 0, Day 2 and Discharge from hospital, and an out-patient follow-up visit on Day 28. The data will be used to develop novel diagnostic tools to assist in rational treatment decisions that will benefit both individual patients and resource allocation. It will also establish research preparedness for upcoming pandemics.
This is a phase I/II trial designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with urinary tract infections.
This multi-center observational case-control study in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients is to identify novel biomarkers allowing to recognize severe community acquired pneumonia (sCAP) -associated sepsis at an earlier stage and predict sepsis-related mortality. Patients with sCAP (cases) will be profoundly characterized over time regarding the development of sepsis and compared with control patients. The mechanisms and influencing factors on the clinical course will be explored with most modern -omics technologies allowing a detailed characterisation. These data will be analysed using machine learning algorithms and multi-dimensional mathematical models.
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of single and multiple doses of intravenous ceftazidime-avibactam in hospitalized infants and neonates from 26 weeks gestation to 3 months of age. In Part A of the study all patients will receive a single dose of ceftazidime-avibactam. In Part B all patients will received multiple doses of ceftazidime-avibactam. Efficacy will be assessed in the infants and neonates receiving multiple doses of ceftazidime-avibactam.
The purpose of this study is to validate presepsin as a biological marker for identifying bacterial fever among febrile syndromes of infants under three months of age. Clearly, our goal is to determine if this marker can help us distinguish a viral infection from a bacterial infection. Indeed, presepsin would be specific for bacterial infection, and rise earlier in the blood during infection than biological markers currently used. Such validation could improve the precocity of the therapeutic management by a better targeted antibiotic therapy, and the limitation of invasive complementary examinations (lumbar puncture), in infants for whom the fear of a bacterial infection leads to examinations and systematic treatments.
