| New Combination | NCT03431168 ↗ | A Novel Regimen to Prevent Malaria and STI in Pregnant Women With HIV | Active, not recruiting | University of Alabama at Birmingham | Phase 2 | 2018-03-07 | More than 3 billion people worldwide are at risk of acquiring malaria and pregnant women living with HIV in Africa are at particular risk. An effective prophylaxis regimen capable of preventing malaria and other common perinatal infections would have great potential to improve adverse birth outcomes. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate a new combination prophylaxis regimen in pregnant women with HIV in Cameroon to determine its efficacy and safety. |
| OTC | NCT05055544 ↗ | Bearberry in the Treatment of Cystitis | Not yet recruiting | University of Pecs | N/A | 2021-10-01 | The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of bearberry in uncomplicated cystitis. Uncomplicated cystitis is a disease related to the infection of the urinary bladder. Typical symptoms are dysuria, urinary urgency, and frequent voiding of small volumes. Urinary tract infections are frequent in women, usually treated with antibiotics, since the disease is usually caused by bacteria. Fosfomycin is a frequently used antibiotic for the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis. This medicine is typically prescribed by MDs. However, since uncomplicated cystitis is quite frequent, not all patients visit the doctor when experiencing the symptoms of this disease. The use of over-the-counter products (medicines and food supplements) to alleviate the symptoms is common. One of the most frequently used medicinal plants for this purpose is bearberry. Bearberry is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of cystitis. Its use is accepted by the European Medicine Agency as traditional herbal medicinal product for relief of symptoms of mild recurrent lower urinary tract infections such as burning sensation during urination and/or frequent urination in women. Although the experience gained during the traditional use and the laboratory experiments support the supposed beneficial effect of bearberry, its clinical efficacy has not been confirmed in well-designed clinical trials in comparison with standard antibiotic therapy. In this study, the efficacy of bearberry will be assessed in comparison with fosfomycin. Premenopausal women experiencing the symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis will be randomly divided into two groups. Since it will be a double-blind trial, neither the participants nor the experimenters will know who is receiving a particular treatment. In group A, patients will receive a single dose of fosfomycin powder dissolved in water and 2 placebo tablets three times a day for 7 days. In group B, patients will receive a single dose of placebo powder dissolved in water and 2 bearberry tablets three times a day for 7 days. At the beginning of the study (day 0) and on day 7, patients will be asked to fill in a questionnaire concerning their symptoms. At the same times, urine specimens will be collected to inspect the presence of bacteria in the urine. The primary goal of the trial is to assess the improvement of symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis after 7 days of treatment with the intention to analyze whether treatment with bearberry is at least as effective as fosfomycin therapy is. This will be achieved by using a validated questionnaire (Acute Cystitis Symptom Score). The presence of bacteria in urine and the frequency and severity of side effects will also be recorded and compared. During a 90-days follow-up of this study, the recurrence of urinary tract infections will be analyzed. This study will deliver important data on the efficacy and safety of bearberry in the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis. |

| NCT00000655 ↗ | A Randomized, Double-Blind Study of 566C80 Versus Septra (Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim) for the Treatment of Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia in AIDS Patients | Completed | Glaxo Wellcome | Phase 2 | 1969-12-31 | To evaluate the effectiveness of atovaquone (566C80) compared to a standard antipneumocystis agent, (SMX/TMP), for the treatment of mild to moderate Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in AIDS patients. To compare the safety of short-term (21 days) treatment with 566C80 and SMX/TMP in AIDS patients with an acute episode of PCP. Standard therapies for acute treatment of PCP involve either SMX/TMP or pentamidine isetionate. Although both treatments are equally effective, side effects prevent completion of therapy in 11-55 percent of patients. |

| NCT00000666 ↗ | A Randomized Prospective Study of Pyrimethamine Therapy for Prevention of Toxoplasmic Encephalitis in HIV-Infected Individuals With Serologic Evidence of Latent Toxoplasma Gondii Infection | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | N/A | 1969-12-31 | To evaluate pyrimethamine as a prophylactic agent against toxoplasmic encephalitis in individuals who are coinfected with HIV and latent Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmic encephalitis is a major cause of illness and death in AIDS patients. Standard treatment for toxoplasmic encephalitis is to combine pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine. Continuous treatment is necessary to prevent recurrence of the disease, but constant use of pyrimethamine/sulfadiazine is associated with toxicity. Clindamycin has been shown to be effective in treatment of toxoplasmic encephalitis in animal studies. This study evaluates pyrimethamine as a preventive treatment against toxoplasmic encephalitis (per 3/26/91 amendment, clindamycin arm was discontinued). |
| NCT00000714 ↗ | An Open, Prospective, Multicenter Study of Trimetrexate With Leucovorin Rescue for AIDS Patients With Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP) and Serious Intolerance to Approved Therapies | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | Phase 3 | 1969-12-31 | To determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug therapy (trimetrexate plus leucovorin calcium (TMTX / LCV)) in the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in patients who have AIDS, are HIV positive, or are at high risk for HIV infection, and who have suffered severe or life-threatening ill effects from both conventional therapies for PCP. AMENDED: 08/01/90 As of August 31, 1989, 437 patients were enrolled into uncontrolled studies of trimetrexate for PCP:214 in TX 301/ACTG 0=039 (trimetrexate for patients intolerant of approved therapies) and 223 in NS 401 (trimetrexate for patients refractory to approved therapies). The analysis of overall response rate, stringently defined as having received at least 14 days of trimetrexate and being alive at follow-up 1 month after the completion of therapy, reveals 84/159 intolerant patients and 48/160 refractory patients had responded, for rates of 53 percent and 30 percent, respectively. These response rates include all individuals who received at least one dose of trimetrexate. Of the 111 patients who were ventilator-dependent at study entry, 18 completed a course of therapy and were alive a month later, for a response rate of 16 percent. All other ventilated patients died. The most common severe (grades 3 and 4) toxicities were: transaminase elevation (> 5 x normal) in 94 patients, anemia (< 7.9 g/dl) in 109, neutropenia (< 750 cells/mm3) in 58, fever (> 40 C) in 37, and thrombocytopenia (< 50000 platelets/mm3) in 27. Toxicity required discontinuation of therapy in approximately 5 percent of all patients. Original design: The drugs usually used to treat PCP in AIDS patients, trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole and pentamidine, have had to be discontinued in many patients because of severe side effects. Currently there are no proven alternatives to these drugs. TMTX was chosen for this trial because it was found to be very active against the PCP organism in laboratory tests. Also TMTX, in combination with LCV, had a high response rate and did not cause severe toxicity in a preliminary trial. |
