High-dose Inhalations of Nitric Oxide in the Treatment of Pneumonia
This is a multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trial. At least 2 but no more than 5 centers are expected to participate in the study. The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that the addition of high-dose inhaled nitric oxide therapy to standard treatment has a positive effect on the …
Optimizing Care for Children Hospitalized With Community-acquired Pneumonia: Novel Diagnostics
Children are commonly hospitalized because of community-acquired pneumonia. Despite the fact that many of these children have viral disease, a majority is treated with antibiotics. These antibiotics will not accelerate recovery in those with viral pneumonia and can cause harm. We are interested in exploring whether the MeMed BV - …
The Role of Melatonin as an Adjuvant Therapy in Childhood Pneumonia
The goal of this study is to compare the mean length of hospital stay between children with pneumonia receiving melatonin as an adjuvant therapy and those receiving standard of care alone. The hypothesis is that combining oral melatonin with standard treatment can reduce the length of hospital stay as compared …
Antibiotic Treatment for Pneumonia Caused by Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia in ICU Patients
This study looks at how different antibiotic treatments affect patients in intensive care who have pneumonia caused by the bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. It compares using one antibiotic versus two antibiotics, and treatment lengths of 7 days versus 14 days, to see which approach helps patients survive better. The study also …
Low Dose Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole for the Treatment of Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic fungal infection of immunocompromised hosts which causes in significant morbidity and mortality. The current standard of care, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) at a dose of 15-20 mg/kg/day of TMP, is associated with serious adverse events, including hypersensitivity reactions, drug-induced liver injury, cytopenia, and renal failure …
Role of Oral Care in Prevention of Nosocomial Pneumonia Among COPD Patients
Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in ICU patients. Therefore, respiratory pathogens tend to colonize dental plaque and oral mucosa in these populations. Therefore, strategies to eliminate respiratory pathogens from the oral cavity may improve oral hygiene and decrease the development of nosocomial pneumonia.
An Open-label, Dose-finding, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Bivalent Klebsiella Pneumoniae Vaccine (CHO-V08) in Healthy Adults
CHO-V08 is currently being developed as a prevention vaccine against nosocomial and community-acquired infection caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae K1 and K2 serotypes. The goal of study (KLEBBI-001) is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the preventive vaccine of CHO-V08 in healthy volunteers aged from 18 to 50 …
Customized Antibiotic Treatment Duration Among Hospitalized Patients With Moderately Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate if the efficacy of an experimental strategy on antibiotic treatment duration based on stopping treatment when stability criteria are reached after at least 48 h of treatment, is non-inferior to the efficacy of standard antibiotic duration in CAP patients treated in …
Mucosal Associated Invariant T Cell During Viral Pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Viral pneumonia, including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus (IAV), can culminate in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe form of respiratory failure with high mortality. Uncontrolled local inflammatory response and impaired tissue repair are hallmarks of ARDS. However, lack of in-depth understanding of the immunopathology lead to limited identification …
Clinical Utility of Portable Dynamic Chest X Ray (DDR) in the ICU
Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) is a new advanced version of chest radiography that captures dynamic images at a rate of 15 frames per second. It is coupled with an analytical software that allows it to provide more advanced measures of lung motion, ventilation, and perfusion compared to traditional chest radiography. …
