Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if oral treatment with pivmecillinam is effective to treat febrile urinary tract infections in adult patients. Hospitalized patients who have received 2-4 days of intravenous antibiotic therapy for febrile urinary tract infections, and have responded to treatment, will be randomized to either pivmecillinam or standard treatment (other oral or intravenous...

Summary: Treatment of Mycobacterium xenopi (MX) lung disease is not-well- tolerated and concerned a growing number of patients, especially with chronic pulmonary diseases or immunosuppression. The outcome of these patients is poor, and treatment is very long. Indeed, this duration is based on the date of sputum conversion. Treatment should be continued until 12 months after sputum conversion. In the vast m...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the study drug, ORC-13361, in preventing hearing loss in patients with NTM infection who are undergoing treatment with IV amikacin therapy. The main question this study aims to answer is: * Is ORC-13661 effective for preventing or lessening hearing loss induced by amikacin treatment? * Is ORC-13661 effective for preventing or lessenin...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of amikacin (a type of antibiotic) can be used to effectively treat emergency department patients with uncomplicated cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). Participating in this study will allow the patient to treat their urinary tract infection (UTI) with a single intramuscular (IM (into the arm)) or intravenous (IV (into the vein)) shot...

Summary: The emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL) is a major public health problem. It leads more frequent prescription of penems with the risk of emergence and spread of strains producing carbapenemases, which may be resistant to all known antibiotics. A policy of savings of penems is desirable. Among the alternatives to penems, amikacin is in the foreground....

Summary: Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) is a group of rapid-growing, multi-drug resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causing infections in humans. MABS pulmonary disease (MABS-PD) can result in significant morbidity, increased healthcare utilisation, accelerated lung function decline, impaired quality of life, more challenging lung transplantation, and increased mortality. While the overall numbers...

Summary: The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Meropenem and Pralurbactam versus Best Available Therapy in the treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infections. Infections evaluated in the study will be hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infection ...

Summary: Colistin can be used to treat the infection caused by carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE). In China, patients diagnosed with Hospital-acquired-pneumonia (HAP)or bloodstream infection caused by CRE are recruited, and randomly assigned to two groups, and in one group the patients accept treatment with colistin, however in another group, the patients accept treatment without colistin. The ef...

Summary: This randomised controlled trial will determine the non-inferiority of stopping empiric antibiotics prior to absolute neutrophil count (ANC) recovery (Early Stopping) versus stopping antibiotics upon ANC recovery (Standard of Care/ Late Stopping) , in children with cancer and high-risk febrile neutropenia (FN).

Summary: The recent AMIKINHAL trial found that prophylactic inhaled amikacin was effective in lowering the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Since aspiration is a common complication of cirrhosis patients with HE (7 out of 10 patients develop some type of HE) who are hospitalized to the liver ICU also have an elevated risk of Ventilator associated pneumonia. Despite supportive c...

Summary: CRAB infections in ICUs are on the rise, leading to higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs due to resistance to most antibiotics, including carbapenems. The main resistance mechanisms include carbapenemases, efflux pumps, and changes in the bacterial cell wall. Current treatments include polymyxins (Colistin, Polymyxin B), which are effective but can lead to resistance, aminoglycosides ...

Summary: Infections are a common complication in patients with cancer. They are a significant cause of complications and death in this population. Patients with cancer and low neutrophil counts due to chemotherapy or disease often have a fever and receive antibiotic treatment. The optimal duration of this treatment is largely unknown. Late, there have been some data suggesting the safety of early discontin...
