Filter by:This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of itraconazole sequential therapy (intravenous injection/oral solution) in participants with invasive pulmonary fungal infections ([IPFI]; lung diseases caused by fungal infection).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of silicon phthalocyanine 4 and photodynamic therapy in treating patients with stage IA-IIA cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a drug, silicon phthalocyanine 4, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. This may be effective against cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
In this trial, our goal is to determine the pharmacokinetics of micafungin in a non-selected cohort of patients with suspected or proven invasive fungal infections. Patients will receive micafungin for the period necessary to achieve clinical and / or mycological cure. An attempt will be made to have 2 PK curves, one full and one limited sampling on days 3 (n=9) and 7 (n=5). Furthermore, we will be able to determine intra-individual variability. On non-PK days, trough samples will be taken to determine the time to steady state. All samples will be taken just prior to the morning dose of micafungin. All infusion rates will be according to the SPC label information. Patients are considered to be evaluable if at least the first PK curve has been completed. Two moments of PK analysis will enable us to determine whether there is an increase over time in exposure if steady state has not been reached.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of posaconazole (POS) versus voriconazole (VOR) in the treatment of adults and adolescents with invasive aspergillosis (IA). The primary hypothesis is that the all-cause mortality through Day 42 in the POS treatment group is non-inferior to that in the VOR treatment group.
Escalating resistance to antibiotics among disease-causing community bacteria increasingly threatens our ability to treat patients' infections. At the level of the physician-patient encounter, incentives at the patient level often take priority to society; this is often the case with antibiotic prescribing. Each patient level antibiotic treatment decision is based on how we value potential outcomes, including short-term benefits and risks and longer-term risks, including those related to future bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotics are often prescribed for illnesses unlikely to have a bacterial etiology; even a very small likelihood of benefit seems to outweigh an increased risk of future antibiotic resistance. While short-term effects of antibiotics on colonization with resistant bacteria have been demonstrated, the overall implications of each treatment for future individual, family and societal-level resistance remain difficult to quantify, and are often steeply discounted or ignored during decision-making. Knowledge regarding the longer-term effects of personal and household antibiotic use could better quantify these future resistance-related risks, and help guide antibiotic decision-making for physicians and patients. Infants are born with sterile nasopharyngeal and gastrointestinal tracts and yet, during the 1st year of life, become important reservoirs of resistant organisms; this creates an opportunity to study colonization and resistance starting from a microbiological tabula rasa. In this proposal, we will use an observational cohort to following newborns' antibiotic exposure and longitudinal colonization with specific bacterial pathogens and related antibiotic resistance in the 1st year of life. Our hypothesis is that during the 1st year of life, infants with personal and household antibiotic exposure will have greater colonization with resistan organisms than infants without antibiotic exposure. This project will help us understand the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics within the community, and help to inform judicious decision-making regarding antibiotic prescribing.
The purpose of this study is to collect pharmacokinetic (PK) information related to how well posaconazole tablet is distributed in the body and to determine the safety of this new formulation. The study consists of a Phase 1B study that includes participants with neutropenia undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplasia (MDS) and a Phase 3 study that includes participants who are undergoing chemotherapy for AML or MDS and participants who are recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
The objective of this study was to confirm if two formulations of terbinafine (tablets) are bioequivalent. Test product was Xilatril® 250 mg (Laboratorios Dermatológicos Darier) and reference product Lamisil® 250 mg (Novartis). One tablet was the single dosage. The study was prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods, under fasting conditions. The population was composed of 30 healthy volunteers, both genders, adults between 18-50 years. The comparative bioavailability of the two formulations was evaluated based in statistical comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained from data of drug concentrations in blood.
The purpose of this evaluation is to observe the performance of two (2) different skin care treatment protocols on the skin: #1 Kendall™ Body Wash & Shampoo in combination with the Moisture Barrier Cream; or #2 Kendall™ 2-in-1 Cleanser in combination with the Anti-fungal Cream. The scientific evidence supports using these types of skin care products to keep the skin healthy in the presence of moisture, urine, stool, or fungal infection. The cleansers are preferred over soap and water and can be applied on all areas of the skin. The Moisture Barrier Cream is formulated especially for skin exposed to moisture, urine, or stool. The Antifungal Cream is utilized for fungal infections associated with athlete's foot, jock itch, and ring worm to relieve itching, soreness, and irritation.
This multicenter observational cohort study proposes to establish the risks of short and long-term outcomes in users of parenteral micafungin and in users of other parenteral antifungal agents from 2005 through 2012 with follow-up until 2017.
