22 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study will enroll children ages 5-17 who test positive for Group A Streptococcus (GAS) at a single clinic visit lasting approximately 30-60 minutes. The primary aim of this study is to assess the accuracy and feasibility of the CandyCollect platform to capture and detect GAS. The investigators hypothesize that the CandyCollect platform is non-inferior to gold-standard rapid antigen detection testing for GAS.
Group A Streptococcal Infection
The goal of this study is to find out if there is any association between a mother's exposure to bacteria that normally causes "strep throat" and her baby's developing heart disease/heart defect.
Congenital Heart Disease in Pregnancy
To determine if a single 2.0-g dose of azithromycin SR is at least as effective as a 3-day course of azithromycin (500 mg once daily for 3 days) when used to treat adolescents and adults with strep throat, and to assess efficacy and safety for both treatment regimens.
Pharyngitis, Tonsillitis
The objective was to determine if a single 60 mg/kg dose of azithromycin SR was as safe and effective as a 10-day regimen of amoxicillin (45 mg/kg/day, given in divided doses every 12 hours) when used to treat children with strep throat.
Tonsillitis
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of APC 111 MP Tablet, 775 mg tablet, given orally (PO)once daily (QD) for 10 days compared to that of Penicillin VK, 250 mg PO four times daily (QID) for 10 days in terms of bacteriological outcome at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit (Day 14-18) in the eligible Per-Protocol bacteriological (PPb) population.
Sore Throat, Pharyngitis, Tonsillitis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of APC-231 QD for 7 days in the bacteriological outcome at the Test of Cure Visit.
Pharyngitis
The purpose of the this study is to evaluate the safety of efficacy of APC-111 775 mg MP tablet once daily dosing for 7 days for treating patients with strep throat. The evaluation will look to confirm if APC-111 eliminates the bacterial infection (Streptococcus pyogenes).
Pharyngitis, Tonsillitis
The purpose of this study is to determine if the rapid antigen detection test for Group A streptococcal pharyngitis diagnosis might yield higher rates of false positive results in patients who have been treated for GAS pharyngitis within 28 days of the test.
Streptococcal Infections
The objective of this pilot study is to acquire images using the Strepic® device, a clinical prototype that has been designed specifically as a viable, low-cost, commercially realizable autofluorescence-based diagnostic test, using (1) fluorescence and (2) white light image data, as well as other clinical data points. By acquiring and analyzing the images of pharyngeal bacterial fluorescence and white light patterns in patients with Group A Streptococcus (GAS)-associated pharyngitis and comparing them with those observed in non-GAS pharyngitis, it is believed an algorithm can be developed such that the device will improve the ability of clinicians to quickly and accurately identify GAS infections.
Group A Streptococcal Infection
This is a prospective study seeks to determine how often a rapid antigens test for group A streptococcus is positive in healthy adults
Strept Throat
This study is designed to determine the accuracy of the Preview Rapid Strep A Test compared to a laboratory reference method for Group A Streptococcal infection and to determine the precision of the Preview Rapid Strep A test.
Strep Throat
The study is a randomized controlled trial, with an Intervention Group and a Control Group at the University of Utah (U of U) and University of Wisconsin (UW). BU serves as the primary award and coordinating institution. The unit of randomization will be at the clinic level at each institution. UW will recruit all General Internal Medicine (GIM) Clinics and Department of Family Medicine (DFM) Clinics in Dane County as well as their East and West Urgent Care Clinics. U of U will recruit all affiliated primary care practices. The unit of randomization will be the clinic. The study biostatistician will receive a list of clinic sites that have agreed to participate in the study from the site PIs. Clinics will be randomized to either Intervention group or to a Control group stratified by clinic size. Both groups will receive a single 45 minute academic detailing session describing evidenced-based diagnosis and treatment for strep throat and pneumonia. The Intervention Group will also receive a demonstration of the iCPR tool during their academic detailing session. Providers and clinic staff will be invited to the academic detailing session. Any provider or staff that is unable to attend the session will receive written and electronic copies of the material. Individual providers will not be specifically recruited for participation and they will participate or not based on personal preferences as they would for any clinic quality improvement project. The iCPR tool will be "turned on" for providers in the Intervention group. This means that the best practice alerts will trigger for appropriate patients with suspected strep throat or pneumonia. We will collect and analyze data about the use of each element of the iCPR tool during patient visits, including which elements of the tool were used and how often. We will also collect data from the site EHRs about antibiotic and diagnostic test orders for strep throat and pneumonia from all clinics participating in the trial, both Intervention and Control groups. After one year of study implementation, we will run an Interim Primary Outcome Report comparing the antibiotic and diagnostic test orders between the Intervention and Control group clinics. This report will be in the aggregate and will not contain any personally-identifiable information. If there is a significant difference between the groups that meets our predetermined stopping end points, we will stop the randomized controlled trial.
Strep Throat, Pneumonia
The purpose of this trial is to show the accuracy and specificity of the Liat analyzer and assay for detecting Strep A at the point of care lab compared to culture.
Streptococcal Sore Throat
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the IND One Step Strep A test to accurately test a throat swab specimen from a symptomatic patient for the presence or absence of Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) when compared to culture.
Strep Throat
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the Strep A Fluorescent Immunoassay Analyzer to accurately detect a throat swab specimen for the presence or absence of Strep A when compared to culture.
Strep Throat
The purpose of the research is to help understand why some children become carriers of strep and whether children who are carriers need to be treated with antibiotics.
