Filter by:A Phase II/III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Azvudine in Preventing SARS-Cov-2 Infection in Household Contacts of Individuals Infected with SARS-CoV-2
This is a randomized, open label, comparative Phase II trial being conducted to determine whether fecal microbiota transplant using Penn Microbiome Therapy (PMT) products helps standard therapy eradicate antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency of therapeutic response of gepotidacin at the Test of cure (TOC) Visit (Days 10 to 13) in female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis with qualifying bacterial uropathogen(s) at baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin in Japan, with that from global studies (Studies 204989 [NCT04020341] and 212390 [NCT04187144]).
This is a research study to test the tolerability and clinical effectiveness of the study drug, Letermovir (LET), when used as secondary prophylaxis following treatment of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in a solid organ transplant recipient. This study is an open label trial in which Letermovir will be prescribed to prevent the recurrence of CMV infection and disease in a solid organ transplant recipient following treatment of CMV infection or disease.
Urinary tract infection is a common infectious disease in clinic. Although urinary tract infection can be initially diagnosed by clinical sign and symptom, signs and urine routine, the application of appropriate antibiotic therapy depends on the further identification of pathogens. Metagenomic sequencing has been widely used in clinical pathogen diagnosis, especially in difficult infectious diseases. ICompared with tissue samples, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, whole blood and other samples, the application of mNGS in urine samples is relatively limited because incorrect sampling methods before and after collection of urine samples are easy to contaminate the samples and the colonization of distal urethra, periurethral skin and vagina will interfere with the interpretation of reports. Previous small sample studies have shown that the sensitivity of mNGS in urinary tract infection is high, but the specificity is relatively low, and there are many problems such as difficult interpretation of reports and low clinical conformity. This is closely related to the mNGS technology algorithm, such as the inability to eliminate the influence of urinary system background bacteria, and the ambiguity of short sequence alignment, which makes it difficult to distinguish homologous pathogens. In this study, based on the standard mNGS sequencing process, the improved Z value analysis method was used to select strictly enrolled clinical samples and compare them with pathogen culture to observe the clinical value of mNGS with Z value analysis method in the treatment of urinary tract infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of tozorakimab, as an add-on to SoC in patients with viral lung infection requiring supplemental oxygen, on the prevention of death or progression to IMV/ECMO.
To evaluate the colonization efficacy (the ability of a probiotic bacteria to remain in the mouth) delivered in a chewing gum format. The chewing gum contains Streptococcus salivarius probiotic and the study is to be done in health adults.
The goal of this observational study is to test whether the dynamic changes of CD4+T lymphocytes can predict infections in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome . The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether the dynamic changes of CD4+T lymphocytes can predict infections in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome - effect of different immunosuppressive therapy on the number and function of T lymphocyte subsets in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome Participants will be divided into infection group and non-infection group according to whether they are infected
The Belgian Severe Acute Respiratory Infections network (BELSARI-net) was implemented during the influenza season 2011-2012 following the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor severity of influenza viruses in hospitals. The network is composed of 6 hospitals throughout the country, two in each administrative region (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels-Capital), and operates during the influenza epidemic period (from the last week of December or first/second week of January to the third/last week of April, depending on when influenza virus circulation is detected by the general population, based on the Influenza-like illness (ILI) network of general practitioners). Enrollment is performed for all cases matching the SARI case definition (based on WHO's case definition) and accepting to take part. A respiratory specimen is sampled systematically from each participant, and detailed clinico-epidemiological data, such as information on age, sex, symptoms and potential risk factors such as pregnancy or comorbidities (chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, chronic cardiovascular diseases, renal insufficiency, obesity, diabetes, hepatic or renal insufficiency, immunodeficiency, neuromuscular disease, pregnancy) is also collected. Participants are followed up during hospitalization for the occurrence of complications (detection of pneumonia based on chest radiography, development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), requirement for respiratory assistance and/or for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), admission in intensive care unit (ICU)), or death (all-cause death). The current project includes all the samples received by the Belgian National Influenza Centre (NIC) during the influenza seasons 2011-2012 till 2019-2020.
The researchers collect patients who accepted eradication program of the helicobacter pylori but failed to eradicate helicobacter pylor from the outpatient clinic. After rescue therapy, evaluating the effect of retreatment interval on eradication effect of Helicobacter pylori infection.
