Filter by:During pregnancy, bacterial vaginosis (BV), abnormal vaginal flora (AVF) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) are associated with serious complications and discomfort. Yet, treatment options are limited. Lactobacilli administration was suggested to treat and prevent vaginal infections. However, this has not been examined in pregnant women, the information regarding oral treatment is scarce, and the mechanisms in which oral ingestion of probiotics induce vaginal lactobacilli proliferation are not well established. In the present study we will examine if oral probiotics are effective in prevention of vaginal infections by migration of lactobacilli from the digestive system to the vagina in pregnant women.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous CD101 is safe and effective in the treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis when compared to caspofungin (followed by oral fluconazole).
This prospective randomized multicenter study evaluates whether the decision to prescribe antifungals guided by (1,3)-β-D-glucan in comparison to standard of care shortens time to antifungal therapy and reduces mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock and a high risk of invasive candida infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine if two topical formulations of CD101 are safe and effective in the treatment of acute moderate to severe vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) compared to oral fluconazole.
The primary objective of this study is to study the vaginal flora colonisation equivalence between the tablet and capsule dosage forms of a treatment with Lcr Regenerans® between D0 (V1) and Dend of treatment.
This is a randomized, multicenter, evaluator blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of SCY-078 compared to Fluconazole in adult patients with moderate to severe Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) and a history of frequent episodes of VVC. Approximately 90 subjects, meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the 3 treatment arms: Oral SCY-078 in 2 dose regimens or oral Fluconazole. After enrollment, subjects will be evaluated on Day-5 (end of treatment visit), Day-24 (test of cure visit), Day-60, Day 90 and Day 120 (end of observation period visit) or at any time that a recurrence or clinical failure is suspected, up to the end of observation period.
The pharmacokinetics of fluconazole are expected to be different in ICU patients compared to non-ICU patients. The investigators will determine fluconazole and free fluconazole concentrations in 20 ICU patients, who will get intravenous fluconazole as standard care. Switching to oral/enteral fluconazol is allowed after day 3. A full pharmacokinetic curve will be taken on day 3 of iv therapy and limited pharmacokinetic curves on day 7 of iv therapy and/or on day 3 of oral therapy; trough levels will be taken daily after intravenous therapy.
Purpose/Objectives: To compare wet mount findings for clue cells, yeast, trichomonads and white blood cells per high-power field in self-collected vaginal specimens, compared to clinician-collected specimens, among symptomatic women visiting the San Antonio Metropolitan Health sexually transmitted disease clinic. Research Design/Plan: Prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded trial Methods: Obtain informed consent and specimens from 40 symptomatic adult females (eg abnormal discharge, odor and/or itching). Calculate concordance between clinician- and patient-collected samples using a Wilcoxon Matched-Pair test. Calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the patient-collected wet mount, using the clinician-collected specimens as the "gold standard." Clinical Relevance: A "wet mount," or microscopic examination, is commonly used to diagnose trichomoniasis and yeast in females, and constitutes one diagnostic element for bacterial vaginosis. While patient-collected vaginal swabs are acceptable for nucleic acid probe tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea and nucleic acid probe tests for trichomoniasis little information about patient-collected wet mounts exists in the literature. Self-collection by women before being seen by a clinician can increase the speed and efficiency of the visit. The method is highly acceptable to women. In the investigators' clinic, women routinely collect their own gonorrhea and chlamydia swabs, so adding an additional swab would not be burdensome.
Phase I Clinical Trial for Comparison of Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of Vorico Injection 200mg(Voriconazole) and Vfend® IV 200mg for Single Dose Crossover Intravenous Infusion in Healthy Volunteers
This is an open-label, dose-titration trial to study the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of oral cochleate amphotericin B (CAMB) in the treatment of mucocutaneous candidiasis infections in patients who are refractory or intolerant to standard non intravenous therapies.
