Peritonitis

This study tests whether giving a personalized dose of Pentaglobin (an antibody treatment) after surgery helps people with severe abdominal infection (peritonitis) and sepsis recover better. Researchers will enroll 200 patients and track organ failure and survival. The goal is to…

This study looks at two ways to treat severe peritonitis caused by a burst diverticulitis pocket. Both involve removing the diseased part of the colon and reconnecting the bowel. One group also gets a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) to protect the new connection, while the o…

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study looks at how the immune system responds in critically ill patients with severe abdominal infections. Researchers want to understand why some patients develop a serious fungal infection while others do not. They will measure a specific immune marker (HLA-DR) in 100 adul…

This study is testing whether a new measure called the Capillary Leak Index (CLI) can better predict death within 28 days in patients with severe abdominal infection after surgery. Researchers will compare CLI to standard blood tests in 100 adults in the ICU. The goal is to impro…

This study observes 600 patients in Korea who receive Zavicefta for complicated abdominal or urinary tract infections or hospital-acquired pneumonia. Researchers track side effects and how well the drug works. It is required by Korean regulators to ensure the drug's safety after …
