NCT07280598
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center pilot study evaluating the safety and microbiological activity of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage therapy in combination with standard IV antibiotics in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) experiencing pulmonary exacerbations due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Eligible participants will receive a 7-day course of IV antibiotics, selected by their treating clinician, along with a phage cocktail specifically formulated to target their identified bacterial pathogen (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, or Achromobacter xylosoxidans). The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of this combined treatment approach. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include assessment of changes in sputum bacterial burden, lung function (spirometry and oscillometry), quality of life, and bacteriophage pharmacokinetics. Results from this study will inform the feasibility and design of future clinical trials using phage therapy in the CF population.
NCT06938867
This is a Phase 1b/2a study in allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients to investigate the safety, PK, PD and preliminary efficacy of multiple oral administrations of SNIPR001 when given concomitantly with SoC levofloxacin.
NCT00877708
The purpose of this study is to review patients with E. coli infections at UPMC from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2010 to determine if these infections have arisen in the community rather than in hospitals or nursing homes and determine their clinical outcomes. The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Review whether cephalosporin-resistant E. coli infections are hospital-acquired, healthcare-associated or community-associated. 2. Determine the clinical outcome of the patients according to the antibiotics given.
NCT00363220
The purpose of this study is to review patients with E. coli infections at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) from September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007 to determine if these infections have arisen in the community rather than in hospitals or nursing homes. The occurrence of such resistant isolates could be devastating if they were associated with bloodstream infection, such as sometimes accompanies a urinary tract infection, since antibiotic resistant E. coli is not suspected in isolates coming from the community. Therefore, the aims of this study are to: 1. Review whether extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms (E. coli, Klebsiella species and Proteus species) are hospital-acquired, healthcare-associated, or community-associated. 2. Investigate the prevalence of ESBL-positive E. coli in foodstuffs (beef, poultry, turkey, and pork), as a potential source for ESBL producers in the community. 3. Compare the clonal relationship of the genome and resistance plasmids carried by the ESBL-producing isolates (healthcare-associated, community-associated, and of animal origin) and study the associations of ESBL-mediated resistance with resistance to other classes of antimicrobials.
NCT00619580
The information collected will optimize the management of patients with gram negative bacteremia. Approximately 300 patients with Gram negative bacteremia are cared for each year at UPMC-P. Published medical literature suggests that mortality from this infection exceeds 20%. The aim of this research is to determine the risk factors for bacteriologic failure of antibiotic therapy, risk factors for antibiotic resistance in bloodstream isolates and risk factors for mortality from Gram negative bacteremia. Modifiable risk factors can then be tackled by a future interventional study.
