Filter by:The treatment of helicobacter pylori is very important. The routine treatment is quadruple therapy. In recent years, double therapy has appeared and the curative effect is fair. However, antacid generally uses proton pump inhibitor. The proton pump inhibitor needs double dose to achieve good antacid curative effect. The effect of vonoprazan used for inhibiting gastric acid is better than proton pump inhibitor. At present, many studies use vonoprazan instead of common proton pump inhibitor, but almost all use double dose of vonoprazan. In the previous study, we found that the effect of double dose of proton pump inhibitor can be achieved with 20mg QD of vonoprazan. Therefore, in this study, 20mg QD of vonoprazan was used to replace the double dose of proton pump inhibitor to observe the antibacterial effect of vonoprazan on Helicobacter pylori.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading infectious disease worldwide and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is high risk population needing prevention from reactivation, which cause high mortality. In fact, its latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is increasing after transplantation and has been identified as a risk factor for TB. However, the suitable regimen for LTBI treatment in KTRs remains unclear. Currently, three-month rifamycin-containing regimens, such as weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP) or daily rifampicin and isoniazid (3HP), are common because its non-inferiority to nine-month of daily isoniazid (9H) and high completion rate by its short course in TB contacts. However, KTRs have many differences from general population, like use of immune-suppressants and possible residual renal insufficiency, so that to prescribe rifamycin-containing LTBI treatment regimens may have many concerns. One biggest concern is that drug-drug interaction between rifamycin and immunosuppressants. In addition, there is no study before in investigating the use of rifamycin-containing regimen in the population of KTRs (only study for kidney transplant candidates).
Anal cancer is overrepresented among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly those living with HIV. Australia was the first country to introduce a publicly funded national HPV vaccination program in 2007. This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013; with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. The goal of the HYPER4 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 500 young gay and bisexual men aged 21-25 years who were eligible for the school-based gender-neutral quadrivalent vaccination program. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.

This program was expanded to include schoolboys aged 12-13 years in 2013Íž with a 2-year catch-up for boys aged up to 15 years. In 2018, the 9-valent vaccine (covering genotypes 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) replaced the 4-valent vaccine in the national program. The goal of the HYPER3 study is to determine the prevalence of anal, genital and oral HPV among 200 young gay and bisexual men aged 16-20 years who were eligible for the school-based 9-valent vaccination. Participants will be required to complete a questionnaire and provide samples for HPV testing. No follow-up visits will be required.
This is a phase 1, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, dose escalation, clinical trial enrolling 24 healthy participants. The main subject is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule and to explore the acceptability of the capsule.
Acinetobacter baumannii causes severe infections (pneumonia, bacteremia, organ space) with high lethality in hospitalised critically ill patients. It can acquire resistance to all classes of antibiotics (multidrug resistance, MDR) except an 'old' drug, colistin, which may be the only therapeutic option. The addition of minocycline to colistin has been shown to be synergistic in vitro, and may be promising in vivo, but this combination has not been limited to case report or case series in comparison with colistin alone.
The DECREASE SSI Trial (Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection) is a two-arm multi-center individual placebo-controlled randomized (2,700 participants randomized 1:1) clinical trial to reduce post-discharge surgical site infection following open colon or small bowel surgery by comparing chlorhexidine bathing plus nasal mupirocin in the 30 days following discharge to soap without antiseptic properties (placebo) and placebo nasal ointment. This trial seeks to enhance the care of the 675,000 patients annually who undergo colon and small bowel surgery by finding simple and efficacious interventions to reduce SSI.
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profiles of LP-001, an amoxicillin and clavulanate formulation, for use in pediatric patients with a bacterial infection.
Background: People with HIV usually take a combination of 2 or more anti-HIV drugs daily to help manage their infection. Sometimes, however, HIV becomes resistant to these drugs, and the infection cannot be treated. Untreated HIV infection can make people more vulnerable to other infections as well as some cancers. Better treatments are needed for people with drug-resistant HIV. Objective: To see if a study drug (UB-421) is effective in people with drug-resistant HIV. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HIV that is resistant to anti-HIV drugs. Design: Participants will be in the study for 35 weeks. Participants will have separate screening and baseline visits within 2 months of each other. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests both times. On the second visit, they will undergo apheresis: Blood will be drawn from a needle in one arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be given back through a second needle in the other arm. Participants will begin receiving the study drug 1 week after their baseline visit. UB-421 is given through a tube attached to a needle placed in a vein in the arm. They will return for UB-421 treatments every week for 26 weeks. Each visit will take 3 to 6 hours. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits 4 and 8 weeks after their last treatment with UB-421. Apheresis will be repeated at 1 of these visits.
This study is a prospective, multicentric, observational test negative design study on adults hospitalized for Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI), regardless of their vaccination status.
