Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis of faropenem boosted with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Whole blood Bactericidal Activity (WBA) will be measured in healthy volunteers following single doses of faropenem plus amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.
Goal of Serum Institute of India Limited (SIIL) is the development of a recombinant urease C-deficient listeriolysin expressing BCG vaccine strain (VPM1002) as a safe, well tolerated and efficacious vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) for residents in endemic areas and persons at risk in non-endemic areas. The new vaccine should be at least as potent as the current strain and should be safer than BCG. The preceding phase-IIa trial was the first investigation of VPM1002 in newborn infants in a high burden setting in South Africa. The vaccination of HIV-unexposed infants with VPM1002 indicated again safety, tolerability and immunogenicity sufficient to proceed in HIV-exposed infants. The current study is a multiple site trial in South Africa to evaluate safety and immunogenicity in HIV-unexposed and -exposed newborn infants.
The investigators select 500 subjects who meet the standard and are considered as study population I. Do specific gamma-interferon detection before the skin test， then inject intradermally with two dosage ESAT6-CFP10 and Tuberculin purified protein derivative (TB-PPD) at different arm of the same subject and get 192 participants whose three kinds of detection result are all negative and are considered as study population II.Then,they are immune to the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine or the placebo of the BCG. Do specific gamma-interferon detection before the skin test， then inject intradermally with two dosage ESAT6-CFP10 and TB-PPD at different arm of the same subject 12 weeks after immunity.Negative rate of ESAT6-CFP10 after vaccination BCG as the main index , evaluate the specificity of different doses of ESAT6-CFP10, and conform the optimal dose of ESAT6-CFP10.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis of standard and high doses of rifampicin. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Whole blood Bactericidal Activity (WBA) will be measured in healthy volunteers following a single dose of rifampicin at standard dose (10mg/kg) or at high dose (20mg/kg or 30mg/kg).
P1106 is Phase IV prospective pharmacokinetic (PK) study of low birth weight infants who are receiving or will be receiving as part of clinical care nevirapine (NVP) prophylaxis, tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis or treatment and/or combination antiretroviral (ARV) treatment containing lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r). The study is designed to describe the pharmacokinetics and safety of NVP, INH, RIF, and LPV/r in these infants receiving the drug(s) as part of clinical care.
The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and especially the detection of drug resistance of tuberculosis mycobacteria can be time consuming and costly. New and rapid diagnostic tests are needed to improve early case detection and correct initiation of treatment. In the planned cross-sectional diagnostic evaluation study the investigators are aiming for the assessment of several new TB diagnostics (e.g. new AID strip assays and TrDNA assay in urine) in TB suspects who are presenting themselves to the pulmonary ambulance (TB dispensary for sector 4) at the Marius Nasta Institute (MNI). The study will be conducted in a co-operation between the MNI and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF).
This trial aims to determine whether the early bactericidal activity of rifampicin given with faropenem or cefadroxil (each given with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) is greater than the activity of rifampicin alone in patients with pulmonary TB. The trial will also investigate potential new biomarkers of sterilising activity.
TB038 is a clinical study to assess the non-specific effects of BCG vaccination and gain a better understanding of how the body's immune system reacts to BCG and in turn potentially prevents infection from other bacteria.
The aims of the phase 1b trial described here are to facilitate identification of assays and immune responses that could then be evaluated as correlates of risk and correlates of protection in efficacy studies and ultimately to provide leads for biomarkers of protection against tuberculosis. This study will complement one ongoing study (NCT02075203) evaluating the prevention of M. Tuberculosis infection using H4:IC31 (also known as AERAS-404).
This is a Phase I, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled safety and immunogenicity study in adults who have recently been successfully treated for drug-susceptible pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB). The safety and immunogenicity profile of escalating doses of AERAS-456 in HIV-negative subjects recently treated for drug-susceptible pulmonary TB will be investigated. The study will be conducted at three sites in South Africa.
