NCT07472114
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the impact of tNGS in patients with community-acquired pneumonia who experience initial treatment failure.
NCT07425561
This is a single-center, non-profit observational study with two sequential phases: an initial retrospective phase followed by a prospective phase. Patients were enrolled during two consecutive, non-overlapping periods. The primary objective of the study is to derive a clinical predictive score for multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen-related pneumonia in patients diagnosed with pneumonia presenting to the Emergency Department and/or admitted to the hospital from the community.
NCT06986148
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a "watch and wait" antibiotic strategy, called Safety Net Antibiotic Prescribing (SNAP), can safely reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while ensuring that children diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia get better from their illness. The main aims of this study are: * To compare the effectiveness of SNAP versus immediate antibiotic prescribing in children with mild community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) * To identify which patient groups benefit most from the SNAP strategy * To identify factors that shape implementation of each prescribing strategy. Researchers will compare the SNAP strategy (where parents or guardians are instructed to give antibiotics only if their child is not improving after 72 hours, or sooner if they are worsening) to the immediate antibiotic prescribing strategy (where parents or guardians are instructed to give the antibiotics right after their healthcare visit) to see if one strategy is more effective than the other. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the immediate antibiotic group or the SNAP group at enrollment. Participation lasts 14 days with follow-up surveys at 4, 7, and 14 days after enrollment.

Pneumococcal Community-Acquired Pneumonia Requiring Hospitalization Among Adults in Colombia (Pneumo-CAP Colombia) This study aims to learn more about pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae among adults hospitalized in 11 hospitals in the Sabana Centro region of Colombia. The study will describe the characteristics of adults with CAP, estimate pneumococcal CAP prevalence in the area, and examine the specific serotypes of S. pneumoniae causing this infection. This research is essential for understanding which microorganism is the most prevalent cause of CAP in the region, whether pneumococcal vaccines included in governmental vaccination programs protect adults, which specific pneumococcal serotypes are circulating, and which available vaccine will best protect people against pneumococcal CAP. The study will be conducted at 11 hospitals in the Sabana Centro region and will collect data over 2 years. The study will gather detailed information on each patient's condition, including symptoms, medical history, and outcomes such as death or the need for intensive care.
NCT06755814
This multicentric, prospective study aims at: evaluating the prevalence, etiology, characteristics, and 1one-year outcomes of immunocompromised patients hospitalized for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP); conducting biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis on collected samples.
NCT06710080
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if icosapent ethyl (Vascepa) works to lessen the amount of inflammation in adults diagnosed with Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of taking Vascepa on inflammation in the arteries in patients with CAP? Researchers will compare the drug Vascepa to a placebo (a look-alike submstance that contains no drug) to see if Vascepa works to reduce inflammation in patients with CAP. Participants wil: * take Vacscepa or a placebo twice a day for 6 months * Visit the clinic 3 times (baseline, 30 days, and 6 months) for checkups and tests
