Problem: Postoperative wound infection following various spinal surgeries is a serious complication. The incidence of post-surgical wounds in spine surgery is high, and various researchers have reported different infection rates. In addition, increased healthcare costs, prolonged lengths of stay in hospital, and reduced quality of life as a result of surgical site infections (SSI) are also major concerns. Several methods for avoiding SSI, such as betadine irrigation, vacuum-assisted closure, and intra-wound vancomycin powder, have been used to reduce the rate of wound infection in spine surgery. Use of local vancomycin has been popular because of its protective effects and lower cost. According to some reports, prophylactic administration of intra-wound vancomycin powder before wound closure is an effective method for decreasing postoperative wound infection rates; however, other studies have revealed a non-significant effect of intra-wound vancomycin use for decreasing the postsurgical wound infection rate. Solution: Therefore, the investigators will prospectively randomize all various types of spinal surgeries to patients who will receive intrawound vancomycin powder and control group who will not receive the powder and to see it's effect in reducing the post-surgical infection.

Vancomycin for Obesity

Ann Arbor, Michigan
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how to optimize vancomycin dosing in obese adults based on weight and kidney function. It will also assess the safety of different vancomycin dosing strategies. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does dosing vancomycin based on kidney function provide better drug exposure than dosing based on weight? What medical or safety issues arise when vancomycin is dosed according to weight versus kidney function? Participants will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive vancomycin doses based on their weight, while the other will receive doses based on their kidney function. Participants will: Receive a single dose of vancomycin based on either their weight or kidney function after pretreatment with antihistamines Provide blood and urine samples at specific times for pharmacokinetic analysis Undergo body composition measurements using DEXA scans and other methods Visit the clinic for physical exams, medical history, and laboratory tests

This trial tests if extending vancomycin treatment with a gradually reduced dose can prevent recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection in adults. The idea is that a longer, gradually reduced antibiotic course will better eliminate the bacteria and lower the risk of the infection coming back. Vancomycin taper regimens are commonly used for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infections.

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.

Re-exposure to systemic antibiotics (i.e., antibiotics absorbed into the bloodstream) is common after a Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and is the strongest risk factor for a recurrent episode. Oral vancomycin to prevent a recurrence during antibiotic re-exposure may reduce this risk but the data supporting this practice are limited. The aim of this trial is: 1) Does oral vancomycin prophylaxis prevent CDI recurrences in patients with recent CDI (within 120 days) and who are re-exposed to systemic antibiotics? The trial will compare oral vancomycin to placebo. Participants will: * Take the study drug (either vancomycin or placebo) twice daily for the duration of systemic antibiotics plus once daily for 7 days after completion of systemic antibiotics. * Attend an in-person follow-up at day 56 * Respond to weekly electronic questionnaires

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Vancomycin for C. diff Infection, Fidaxomicin vs Vancomycin for C. diff Infection and Vancomycin for Obesity to the Power online platform.
