This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study planned to test a treatment called MET-2, a mix of gut bacteria, to help clear antibiotic-resistant germs from the body after a bloodstream infection. It was designed for adults not in intensive care who had a resistant infection. The trial was withdrawn before enrolli…

This study tests whether the antibiotic linezolid can effectively treat early syphilis in 24 adults. Participants have primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis, and some also have well-controlled HIV. The main goal is to see if linezolid reduces syphilis infection markers in …

This study tests whether using personalized dosing (based on drug levels in the blood) for the antibiotic teicoplanin works better than standard dosing for treating bacterial infections. About 74 adults in hospital intensive care or other units will take part. The goal is to see …

This real-world study is testing two neotetracycline drugs, eravacycline and tigecycline, in 300 adults with drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Researchers will track how well the drugs clear the infection and monitor for side effects. The goal is to see if these …

This study tests whether giving menstrual cups to economically vulnerable women in Kenya can lower rates of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The cup is a reusable silicone device that collects menstrual blood and can be worn during sex. Researc…

This study tests whether adding a natural substance called lignin to the usual antibiotic treatment helps more people get rid of H. pylori infection. About 70 adults with a first-time H. pylori diagnosis will take either lignin or a placebo daily for two weeks, alongside standard…

This study looks at whether the antibiotic cefiderocol can lower death rates in hospitalized adults with a tough, drug-resistant Acinetobacter infection. Researchers will compare patients who got cefiderocol to those who received the best available treatment. The goal is to see w…

This study tests whether giving antibiotics more often to entire communities can eliminate trachoma, an eye infection that can cause blindness. Over 300,000 people in Ethiopia are taking part. The goal is to see if this intensive approach works better than the current yearly trea…

This study is testing a new rapid blood test for syphilis that gives results from a fingerstick sample during a single clinic visit. About 600 adults attending a community health centre in Winnipeg will take part. Researchers want to see if this quick test is as accurate as stand…

This study tests whether taking doxycycline before potential exposure to STIs works better than taking it after exposure. 300 men who have sex with men will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and followed for 2 years. The goal is to see which approach better prevents chlam…

This study was designed to see if treating a common stomach bacteria (H. pylori) along with using a stomach acid drug could prevent ulcers caused by low-dose aspirin. It planned to enroll adults with heart or artery disease who needed long-term aspirin therapy. However, the study…

This study screens 500 adults in South Florida for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can lead to chronic gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer. Those who test positive receive free treatment with a three-drug combination (VOQUEZNA® Triple Pak®) for 14 days. The goal is to see i…

This study screens people in South Florida for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can lead to chronic gastritis, ulcers, and even stomach cancer. Those who test positive receive treatment, and the study compares at-home breath testing versus in-person retesting to confirm the in…

This study looks at HIV-negative people who get opportunistic infections—illnesses that usually only affect those with weak immune systems. Researchers want to find out if these patients have unusual antibodies that block a key immune signal. Up to 224 adults in Thailand and Taiw…

This study looks at genetic changes in people with H. pylori infection or stomach cancer to understand how the infection can lead to cancer. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 110 adults undergoing endoscopy. The goal is to find early warning signs and possible ways to …

This study looks at whether a booster dose of the acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap-IPV) can reduce the amount of whooping cough bacteria in the nose after intentional exposure. Healthy adults who were vaccinated as children will receive either the Tdap-IPV booster or a control v…

This study follows 500 children under 18 who tested positive for flu, RSV, or COVID-19. Each child takes a daily nose swab for 14 days to measure how the virus levels change over time. Researchers also check if family members get sick. The goal is to understand when kids are most…

This study is using electronic medical records from about 365,000 pregnant women in the U.S. to check the safety of the Adacel vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough. Researchers will compare pregnancy and birth outcomes between women who got the …

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study follows 100 adults hospitalized in intensive care units with severe pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma or Chlamydia bacteria. Researchers will track how patients are treated, how long they stay in the hospital, and how many survive. They will also check for antibiotic resi…
