Filter by:This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate posoleucel (ALVR105, Viralym-M); an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6 and JC virus.
Articular Implant Infection (AII) is itself a complicated diagnosis and a challenging condition to treat. In elderly patients, the application of existing recommendations is impeded by multiple frailties For a better knowledge of the long-term consequences of AII in elderly patient, the investigators conduct a prospective, multicentric study, whitch aim this is to better evaluate the burden of AII on elderly patients, in terms of quality of life. Secondly, the investigators would like to identify the factors that influence the prognosis, in order to guide further prospective research.
Randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the coadjuvant effect of a combination of L. plantarum and P. acidilactici probiotic strains, taken twice daily, in children 6 months to 5 years-old with upper respiratory tract infections with pharyngitis and/or tonsillitis. Main objective is to evaluate efficacy of this probiotic in reducing fever and pain, as well to evaluate its safety.
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections are a growing national and international challenge in healthcare settings. This is not only due to the rapid spread of resistance and paucity of options of targeted-antimicrobial agents, but also owing to the high mortality of patients infected with CRE reaching up to 50% as per the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Colistin-based combination regimens have been the mainstay for treating CRE-related infections. Ceftazidime-avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor combination, a novel antibiotic, which recently showed a better clinical and microbiological cure against CRE along with the potential to reduce mortality and nephrotoxicity in comparison to colistin-based regimens in observational studies. However, randomized clinical trials are lacking. This non-inferiority randomized controlled study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam-based regimens in critically ill patients with CRE infections in comparison to colistin-based regimens.
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study designed to assess the safety and performance of the Pristine™ Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheter.
To assess the antibacterial effect of Nanosilver Fluoride (NSF) in relation to caries activity in dentin caries lesions of primary teeth in comparison to Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF).
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 assess the safety and efficacy of Posoleucel for the treatment of adenovirus (AdV) infection in pediatric and adult allo-HCT recipients receiving standard of care (SoC).
This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Oral Administration of CP101 for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection (PRISM4). This Phase 3 trial will be conducted in 2 parts: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial arm and an optional open-label treatment arm. After completing standard-of-care (SOC) CDI antibiotics for their most recent CDI recurrence, patients who meet all eligibility requirements will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either CP101 or placebo. Patients will be evaluated for CDI recurrence and safety follow-up through Week 8, the primary endpoint, as well as through Week 24. Patients who qualify may enroll into the optional open label arm if they experience CDI recurrence through week 8.
Molecular techniques for respiratory virus detection have already shown benefits in terms of sensitivity gained in comparison to conventional techniques. Recent progress has made it possible to shorten turnaround time (TAT) and to allow delivery of results in a timely manner, especially in comparison to cell culture and direct fluorescence assays (DFA). However, the cost of these molecular assays is usually not taken in charge by public health insurance system. This could be partly explained by the fact that molecular techniques have not clearly shown cost-effectiveness. Results of molecular tests for influenza viruses and RSV, if delivered rapidly, in the emergency room (ER), would most likely help avoid antibiotic use and ancillary test prescription, improve antiviral prescription and shorten length of stay in the ward by facilitating discharge or cohorting of hospitalized patients. The goal of this study is to assess the performances of Roche Cobas® Liat Influenza A/B & RSV assay, to appraise its clinical impact and to evaluate its cost effectiveness.
