This is a PK study of a multi-dose oral cefixime regimen (three 800 mg doses given on a q 8-hour schedule) alone and also co administered with a single 1000 mg oral dose of azithromycin, both within a 24-hour period, in order to achieve total serum cefixime levels of mcg/mL for at least 20 hours. This will determine the tolerability of the regimen and whether there are significant changes in cefixime PK after co-administration. The primary pharmacokinetic objectives are: to determine if a cefixime dosing regimen of three 800 mg doses given alone, on a q 8-hour schedule achieves a total serum cefixime level that exceeds 2.0 mcg/mL for at least 20 hours; to determine if a cefixime dosing regimen of three 800 mg doses given on a q 8 hour schedule co-administered with a single 1000 mg of azithromycin, achieves a total serum cefixime level that exceeds 2.0 mcg/mL for at least 20 hours; and to evaluate whether a single 1000 mg dose of azithromycin alters the PK of a three dose regimen of 800
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the impact of a paraprofessional-delivered, culturally adapted, evidence-based intervention (EBI) on sexually transmitted disease (STD), substance use and poor mental/emotional health among American Indians (AI) through a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). These intertwining risks have produced marked disparities and have unique cultural and social determinants in Native communities. If aims are achieved, scientific knowledge and community-based practice will be advanced in areas vital to AI communities, and to STD and drug prevention science. Prior to this study, the investigators applied findings from research protocol (IRB#00005929) and adapted a brief intervention to reduce risk and increase protective behaviors for STDs, HIV/AIDS, substance use and poor mental/emotional health, and to promote STD screening. The specific aim of the current study is to compare the efficacy of the adapted brief intervention vs. a comparison condition on participants' condom use, STD screening and treatment-seeking behaviors, substance use and emotional/mental health outcomes at 3 and 6 months post-intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program of regular, theory-based text messages that encourages the message recipient to continue practicing safer sex (i.e., using condoms with sex partners) is effective in maintaining positive behavior change in women who have completed a brief safer-sex training.
The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will rigorously evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of delivering a multimedia evidence-based intervention (WORTH) and streamlined HIV testing to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with Black/African-American (hereafter referred to as Black) women drug users in probation sites in New York City (NYC), compared to streamlined HIV testing alone. Repeated assessments will occur at baseline and 3, 6, and 12-months post intervention. The primary outcomes will be to reduce cumulative incidence of biologically confirmed STIs (i.e., Chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas and the number of unprotected sex acts.
The purpose of this study is to develop a laboratory-based assay that will be a real-time PCR test to detect the organism N. gonorrhoeae and its most important genetic markers of antimicrobial resistance. This study will also determine factors associated with gonorrhoea and describe sexual behaviours of men who have sex with men, to inform parameters for a mathematical model of gonorrhoea transmission and antimicrobial resistant gonorrhoea.
This is an open-label Phase I study of plasma, genitourinary, rectal, and pharyngeal pharmacokinetics of a single 1000mg oral dose of solithromycin. Study Objectives: The primary objective is to determine the pharmacokinetics of solithromycin in plasma, vaginal, cervical, seminal, rectal, and pharyngeal fluid samples after a single 1000mg oral dose.
GSK2140944 has demonstrated in vitro activity against Neisseria (N.) gonorrhoeae, including ciprofloxacin resistant and susceptible strains. This study is a Phase II, randomized, multicenter, open-label, dose ranging study designed to inform the optimal oral dose of GSK2140944 by further characterizing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability in subjects with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea due to N. gonorrhoeae. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either a single 1500 milligrams (mg) or 3000 mg oral dose of GSK2140944. Appropriate safety and microbiological assessments will be conducted at the Baseline (Day 1) Visit and repeated at the Test-of-Cure (Day 4 to 8) Visit. The study duration will be approximately 1 week. Approximately 60 microbiologically evaluable subjects (30 subjects in each treatment arm) will complete the study if both arms remain active throughout the study.
This is a multi-center Phase 2 randomized, open-label study in approximately 180 adult male and female subjects, between the ages of 18 and 55, who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an antimicrobial investigational product, AZD0914 manufactured by AstraZeneca, administered to adults to treat uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea compared to treatment with ceftriaxone. Subjects will be randomly assigned 70:70:40 to receive a single, oral dose of 2000 mg of AZD0914, 3000 mg of AZD0914, or intramuscular dose of 500 mg of ceftriaxone. The drug name is also known as ETX0914.
This study will compare a single dose of oral solithromycin to the standard of care (intramuscular ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin) in the treatment of patients with urogenital gonorrhea. A completed open-label Phase 2 study with single doses of solithromycin resulted in 100% microbiological eradication in male and female patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea.
