Background: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that infects the lining of the stomach and intestines. It can cause peptic ulcers, cancers, and infections. Current methods of diagnosing H. pylori infections have limitations. Researchers want to test a new method of testing for H. pylori. Objective: To compare the esophageal string test (EST) to standard tests for detecting H. pylori infection. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with persistent H. pylori infection. Design: Participants will have 3 or 4 clinic visits over 2 to 4 months. Screening visit: Participants will have a physical exam. They will provide a stool sample. Baseline visit: Participants will have blood tests. Then they will have the EST: One end of a string will be taped to the outside of their cheek; the other end will be packed into a capsule. Participants will swallow the capsule, and the string will unwind down their throat into their stomach. The string will be left in for at least 1 hour. Then researchers will gently pull out the string. The fluids soaked into the string will be studied. Some participants will be prescribed antibiotics. Follow-up visit 1: Participants whose H. pylori infection was cured by the antibiotics may leave the study. Those who are still infected will have an endoscopy: A flexible tube will be inserted down the throat and into the stomach. It will take tissue samples from the stomach lining. These participants will then receive antibiotics again. Follow-up visit 2: The physical exam, blood test, and stool sample will be repeated. ...

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be hard to treat and is often fatal. People with NSCLC commonly have changes in the bacteria that populate their lungs. These bacterial changes may aid tumor growth. Researchers want to find out if treating the bacteria, too, can help cancer treatment work better. Objective: To test 2 inhaled antibiotics (aztreonam and vancomycin), combined with a standard cancer treatment, in people with NSCLC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with NSCLC that has returned or progressed after treatment and cannot be treated with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They may blow into a machine to test how well their lungs work. They will have imaging scans. They may need to have a small piece of tissue cut from their tumor (biopsy). Participants will be treated in six 21-day cycles. They will visit the clinic to receive a drug for cancer treatment on the first day of each cycle. This drug will be administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The 2 antibiotic drugs will be in the form of a fine mist that can be inhaled. Participants use a device to take these drugs at home. They will inhale aztreonam up to 3 times a day and vancomycin 1 or 2 times a day. They will take these drugs during only 3 of the treatment cycles. Biopsies and other tests will be repeated halfway through and after the study treatment. Follow-up visits will continue for 1 year after study treatment.

Rapid Test for Respiratory Infections

Washington, District of Columbia
The study titled " The Effect of Definitive Identification of Viral Etiology in Emergency Department Patients with Acute Respiratory Infection on Antibiotic Utilization (RADIATE)" aims to investigate the effectiveness of a rapid diagnostic approach in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the emergency department (ED) for patients presenting with acute respiratory illness (ARI) due to a virus. Using a prospective design, eligible participants are individuals who visit the ED with complaints related to acute respiratory illness. The study will employ a single-arm consecutive enrollment approach. The intervention involves the implementation of a rapid point-of-care multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to promptly identify the viral cause of the infection. By utilizing a rapid diagnostic tool to identify viral etiology, the study aims to provide healthcare professionals in the ED with more accurate information to guide treatment decisions. Ultimately, the goal is to decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics for ARI's due to a virus, which has several negative outcomes including promotion of antibiotic resistance, exacerbating ED length of stay and encouraging unnecessary additional diagnostic tests.

Treatment Strategies for Sinus Infection

Washington, District of Columbia
Sinus infections are sometimes treated with oral antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays, while some patients get better on their own. Some patients may wait a few days or use common over-the-counter remedies to see if their symptoms improve without further treatment. Sometimes this is enough to help patients wait a few days to see if their infection clears up without needing to use antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays. The overall goal of this clinical trial to see which specific groups of patients benefit more from which intervention or combination of intervention, and which improve with supportive care alone.

Multiple studies have demonstrated oral suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT), after intravenous antibiotics, maximizes reoperation-free survival of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, little is known regarding sequelae of SAT after DAIR for PJI. Prior studies have small or heterogeneous patient cohorts, variable antibiotic regimens, arrive at disparate conclusions, and do not establish antibiotic resistance risk. The investigators propose a prospective randomized controlled multicenter study to expand on findings in a retrospective, multi-center pilot study. Study aims are to evaluate SAT after DAIR of acutely infected primary TJA regarding: 1) adverse drug reactions/intolerance; 2) reoperation for infection; and 3) antibiotic resistance.

The goal of this interventional study is to test if a discharge stewardship bundle is effective at reducing inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions at hospital discharge for children with the three common infections: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), urinary tract infections (UTI), and skin/soft tissue infections (SSTI). The goals of this study are: * To develop, locally adapt, and implement a discharge stewardship intervention across four geographically diverse children's hospitals. * To measure the impact of the discharge stewardship intervention on antibiotic prescribing and patient outcome for three common pediatric infections. Families who are enrolled in the study will be asked to: * complete a one question wellness track on days 3, 7, and 21 after hospital discharge * complete a brief survey on days 7 and 21 after hospital discharge The study team will conduct interviews with the hospitalists at each of the four participating hospitals to create a "discharge stewardship" bundle. Once the bundle intervention is implemented, the hospitalists will be asked to follow prescribing guidelines for CAP, UTI, and SSTI. They will receive regular group-level feedback reports to show how well they follow the guidelines and motivate the hospitalists to follow the guidelines better.

Probiotics for Gut Microbiome Imbalance

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This study aims to evaluate whether probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome in patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics during elective orthopedic surgery. Antibiotics, while effective in preventing infections, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, leading to dysbiosis. The study hypothesizes that the use of probiotics during the perioperative period can prevent or reduce this disruption, supporting gut health and overall well-being. The research seeks to answer whether combining probiotics with routine antibiotic prophylaxis can preserve gut microbiome balance and improve patient outcomes.

The goal of this study is to understand the use of point of care (POC) testing devices in primary care offices to help clinicians diagnose and appropriately treat patients who have symptoms of upper respiratory infections (URIs). The study will use the BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® Respiratory (R) Panel testing device, which is FDA-cleared and CLIA-Waived. This panel can identify up to 15 different viruses and bacteria that can cause URIs. These POC devices will be installed in primary care clinics within the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Patients who come to the clinic with cold-like symptoms (runny nose, cough) will be offered the test. If the patient agrees to the test, their clinician will use a swab to take a small sample of fluid from their nose. This swab will then be tested within the POC device and results will be available within 15 minutes. The results of this sample will be shared with the patient, and their clinician can use the results to help decide the most appropriate medical treatment for the patient. Patients who agree to take the test will be asked to answer a short survey about the test and their experience. Clinicians will also be surveyed to share their thoughts with using the test in their clinics. Focus groups of practice staff and clinicians will also be conducted to understand any potential challenges for using this test in practice. Results from the tests and the surveys will help researchers understand the value of the test to support antibiotic stewardship efforts in primary care clinic settings.

Antibiotics are lifesaving therapeutic drugs which have been used by adults, children, and infants alike for decades. There is an increase in global use of antibiotics over the course of lifetime and earlier in lifetime, with some countries recording as high as 12 courses a year in children younger than two. While antibiotics are successful in eradicating many pathogenic bacteria, research has demonstrated significant effect on beneficial gut microbiota, including long-lasting shift in the dynamics, composition, richness, and maturity of the intestinal flora. Microbiota alterations during early life, including through antibiotics use as well as birth via C-section, constitute a developmental perturbation, which increases the risk of modern diseases of immune and metabolic dysfunction. Strong epidemiological evidence suggests associations between early stressors of the microbiota and a number of common diseases, such as obesity, asthma, allergies, celiac disease, and Type 1 Diabetes. Furthermore, excess antibiotic exposure is associated with the development of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Currently, no strategies exist to restore the microbiome other than reliance on spontaneous repair mechanism, which often takes months in a healthy individual barring further antibiotic exposure. Contrary to popular belief, ingestion of probiotics, particularly after antibiotics, has been demonstrated to slow down the repair as it introduces an exogenous and massive amounts of only a few types of bacterial strains into a finely-tuned ecosystem of hundreds of different strains. It is hypothesized that by preserving the child's microbiome prior to antibiotic therapy and reintroducing it afterwards through an autologous fecal matter transplant (FMT) will assist in a quick, effective, and host-specific microbiome recolonization to the levels and patterns to those prior to antibiotics. This would in turn reduce the overall loss of microbiome diversity over the child's lifespan, essentially providing a 'reset' option to the child's most unadulterated version of microbiome. This approach utilizes delivering the sample by mixing it in maternal milk or formula and feeding it to the child through a bottle, which can be performed anywhere without any discomfort for the child.

Many clinicians prescribe antibiotics for patients with acute respiratory infections even when antibiotics will not benefit the patient because the infection is due to a virus. To discourage this type of unnecessary antibiotic use, the investigators will assess whether it is helpful to give clinicians feedback on how often they prescribe antibiotics for respiratory infections in comparison to their peers. The investigators will perform this study across Urgent Care and QuickCare clinics within a single healthcare system.

The purpose of this study is to see how different antibiotics affect the community of friendly bacteria existing in the intestinal tract (gut). Under normal circumstances, these friendly bacteria are not harmful and they help with normal bodily functions such as digestion. When these bacteria are absent, several complications may occur, such as infections with harmful bacteria or other inflammatory reactions, that can complicate the stem cell transplant course. Treatment with antibiotics or chemotherapy is known to kill off these friendly bacteria. In this study we compare the effects of different antibiotics on the community of friendly bacteria in the gut. For microbiota-related biomarker analysis, optional urine samples (MSKCC patients only) will be collected at baseline, 7 +/-2 days after initiation of antibiotic therapy, and on post-transplant days +28, +56 and +100 (+/- 7days).

Antibiotics for Gum Disease

Birmingham, Alabama
Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammatory disease and antibiotic use is being empirically used as part of its treatment. However, a clinical practice guideline on periodontal treatment adjuncts published in 2015 identified weak evidence on the use of systemic antibiotics and large heterogeneity across small scale studies, suggesting that larger pragmatic clinical trials would benefit clinical decision making. This will be a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, stratified by practice and practitioner. The study will investigate the effectiveness of adjunctive antibiotics as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) compared to SRP with placebo for the treatment of generalized stage II-III, grades A-C periodontitis in approximately 544 patient participants from about 34 National Dental PBRN practices. Periodontal data will be collected at baseline, re-evaluation (6 weeks), and final (12 months) study visits. Changes in periodontal clinical and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of SRP plus adjunctive systemic Amoxicillin / Metronidazole antibiotics (AMXM) versus SRP with Placebo.

Cat bites are puncture wounds that have the potential to seed bacteria deep within the joint capsule, periosteum, and bone. The hand is the most common site of bite injuries. Pasteurella multocida is the is the most common organism isolated from the mouths of cats that can cause infections after a bite. Prophylactic antibiotics are often recommended with amoxicillin-clavulanate for 3-5 days to decrease the incidence of developing an infection. However, only one randomized controlled clinical trial consisting of 12 patients has been performed to justify this course of treatment, raising the possibility that the use of antibiotics could be reduced or even eliminated. Investigators will compare different durations of prophylactic antibiotics and a placebo control for cat bites to the hand/forearm presenting to the Emergency Department, Urgent Care, Plastic Surgery Clinic using a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Participants presenting to the University of Missouri Hospital Emergency Department, Missouri University (MU) Healthcare Urgent Care, Plastic Surgery Clinic over the next year will be offered the chance to enroll if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. For inclusion, participants will be \>18 years of age, have cat bites to the hand or distal to elbow, and present within 24 hours of the cat bite injury. Participants must not present with active local or systemic infections, have received antibiotics within the past 30 days, or be immunocompromised (primary and secondary immunodeficiencies). Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment arms (placebo; amoxicillin-clavulanate 1 day; amoxicillin-clavulanate 5 days). Outcomes are the development of an infection at the location of the cat bite and/or systemic infection, adverse effects of interventions, disability assessed by Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) scores, and quality of life (QOL) assessed by HAND Questionnaire (HAND-Q) scores. Infection will be assessed at day 0, day 2, day 7+/-2, day 14+/-2, and day 30+/-2 by vital signs, laboratory values, physical examination and with an infrared and digital camera. All measures will be within the standard of care, apart from the infrared camera, QuickDASH, and HAND-Q scores. The anatomic locations of cat bites to the hand/forearm will be assessed for correlations with infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Antibiotics clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Antibiotics clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Antibiotics trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Antibiotics is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Antibiotics medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Antibiotics clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Prediction Model for Urinary Tract Infection, Antibiotic Strategies for Pneumonia in Children and MET-2 for Bacterial Blood Infections to the Power online platform.
