Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether TD-1792 is safe and effective when used to treat complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.
This study is designed to investigate the difference in speed and degree of symptom resolution between daptomycin and vancomycin in subjects treated for cellulitis or erysipelas by evaluation of the following parameters: - Time to erythema margin cessation to progress - Time to defervescence - Time to hospital discharge following relief of the presenting cellulitis or erysipelas - Degree of improvement of the following signs and symptom of cellulitis or erysipelas including - Degree of improvement of cellulitis-related pain and swelling as reported by subjects Additionally, the difference in frequency of Adverse Events between daptomycin and vancomycin will be described.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if applying mupirocin into soldiers noses who are colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) will reduce infections in them and their cohort of fellow soldiers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin, an antibiotic, compared with ciprofloxacin, another antibiotic, in the treatment of adults with mild to moderate infections of the skin and the supportive layers beneath the skin.
Introduction. Lymphatic filariasis is a devastating mosquito-transmitted parasitic disease that causes lymphedema or elephantiasis of the leg in 15 million persons, the majority of whom are women. In these persons, frequent bacterial infections ("acute attacks") of the legs adversely affect physical health, economic well-being, and quality of life. Prevention of bacterial infections through hygiene and skin care can result in significant improvements in lymphedema and patient well-being. Methods. To determine the extent to which antibacterial soap can help reduce the incidence of acute bacterial infections of the lower limbs in persons with filarial lymphedema, 200 patients of the Ste. Croix Hospital lymphedema treatment clinic in Leogane, Haiti randomly assigned to receive either antibacterial (Safeguard) or placebo (Camay) soap and acute attacks monitored monthly for 12 months. Both groups received specific instructions on washing and skin care.
Study 0018 (NCT00107978) compares the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, telavancin, and an approved drug, vancomycin, for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections.
Study 0017 compares the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, telavancin, and an approved drug, vancomycin, for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections.
Serious infections caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more of a medical problem throughout the world. One of the ways to deal with this problem is to develop new drugs that can control these bacteria. This study will measure how well TD-6424 (Telavancin) can control infections and whether this drug can be safely given to patients.
