Pneumonia Clinical Trials

Randomized-controlled trial and microbiome assessment to understand the risk-to-benefit ratio of prophylactic antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) vs placebo in patients with pneumonia and inflammation after cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Read Less

A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study in patients who are hospitalized with presumed pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen therapy. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AV-001 Injection administration daily to the earlier of day 28 or EOT (day prior to hospital discharge). A total of 120 eligible patients (20 patients in each of cohort 1, 2 and 3 and 60 patients in cohort 4) will be recruited from up to 25 participating institutions/hospitals. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either AV-001 Injection or AV-001 placebo Injection, together with standard of care (SOC). Read Less

This early phase I trial studies the side effects of a vaccine called CIMAvax-EGF and to see how well it works in preventing lung cancer from developing in patients at high risk for lung cancer or coming back (recurrence) in stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer survivors. In many cancers such as lung cancer, there is a protein receptor called EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) that is overexpressed within these cancers. Activation of EGFR has shown to lead to tumor growth and development. Previous studies have indicated that EGFR activation is present in the airways of cancer-free subjects as well. CIMAvax-EGF vaccine works by causing the body to make antibodies against EGF that is being produced that could be possibly driving the risk for developing cancer. Read Less

An adaptive platform trial to compare effectiveness of different care models to prevent readmissions for patients hospitalized with sepsis or lower respiratory tract infection. The primary outcome is number of days spent at home within 90 days after hospital discharge. Read Less

This research study seeks to establish the effectiveness of a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and a beta agonist compared to placebo for the prevention of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in hospitalized patients with pneumonia and hypoxemia. Read Less

The goal of this interventional study is to test Quinine as marker of aspiration (endotracheal tube [ETT] cuff leakage) in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients. Read Less

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1b study evaluates the safety and tolerability, and effects on cytokine and acute phase reactants of SP16, an anti-inflammatory drug, in patients with pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study will enroll up to 20 patients and each eligible patient will be randomized to receive either one of two doses of SP16 (6 mg or 12 mg) or placebo by subcutaneous injection. Read Less
