Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine whether the effect of treating Candida spp. isolated in the respiratory tract secretions of patients with a clinical suspicion of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) on clinical outcomes will be feasible and supported by biomarker data obtained.
The purpose of this study is to prove the clinical and bacteriological non-inferiority of ampicillin/amoxicillin versus moxifloxacin in hospitalized patients with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK2231395A candidate vaccine in adults and elderly adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Subjects will be vaccinated 3 times with an interval of respectively 2 and 10 months.
The purpose of this research study is to measure the levels of ceftobiprole in the blood, urine and tissues of the lungs during and after administration of four doses of ceftobiprole. Safety of the drug will also be evaluated.
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of a tigecycline regimen versus an imipenem/cilastatin regimen for the treatment of subjects who are hospitalized with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). At least 70% of enrolled subjects will have ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Two dose levels of tigecycline will be assessed and compared to imipenem/cilastatin in parallel. Subjects will receive intravenous therapy from a minimum of 7 & up to 14 consecutive days, the exact duration will be at the decision of the investigator based on the subject's condition. Additional protocol specified antibiotics may be given to ensure appropriate coverage. A final assessment at test-of-cure (TOC) visit will be done 10 to 21 days after the last day of therapy. The total duration of subject participation will be between 17 and 44 days, including a follow up period of 30 days after the last day of therapy for SAEs. Subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy. The safety assessment will include: physical examinations, vital signs, assessment of the clinical signs and symptoms of pneumonia, collection of adverse events, 12-lead ECG, collection of samples for hematology, serum chemistries, and coagulation parameters, & a serum or urine pregnancy test before study entry for women of childbearing potential. The clinical and microbiological efficacy will both be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy of azithromycin, used as a quorum-sensing blocker, when compared to placebo for preventing or delaying the occurrence of pneumonia in ventilated patients colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of CPAP application by a helmet and O2 administration by a Venturi mask in terms of gas exchanges improvement in patients with acute respiratory failure due to community-acquired pneumonia.
The purpose of this study is to show that doripenem is as effective as imipenem-cilastatin in the treatment of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical cure rates of two dosing regimens of iclaprim with vancomycin (every 12 hours [q12h]) in the treatment of patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), or health-care-associated pneumonia (HCAP) suspected or confirmed to be due to Gram-positive pathogens.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the noninvasive ventilation is more effective in the treatment of severe comunity acquired pneumonia in comparison with the conventional mechanical ventilation with orotracheal intubation.
