8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of utilizing a rapid turnaround CT/NG test on treatment of female patients in the emergency department or urgent care setting with possible STIs.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Chlamydial infections persist in the rectum of females who have had a sexually transmitted infection of Chlamydia.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance characteristics of the AC2 assay on the Panther system using female urine specimens.
The objective of this study is to obtain female first-catch urine, vaginal, cervical and endocervical swabs for testing with multiple APTIMA Assays on the Gen-Probe PANTHER® and TIGRIS® Systems.
The objective of this study is to obtain female first-catch urine, vaginal, cervical and endocervical swabs and male first-catch urine and urethral swabs for testing with multiple APTIMA Assays on the Gen-Probe PANTHER® System
Chlamydia is a common infection among youth and can be given from one person to another during sex. Many people who have chlamydia have no signs of infection at all, but can pass the infection to anyone they have sex with. If not treated, chlamydia can lead to serious health problems. This study will look at how well medicines given for chlamydia infection work. The study requires 306 evaluable subjects, chlamydia-positive, males and non-pregnant females, ages 12-21, living in long-term, gender-segregated youth correctional facilities. Participants will be assigned to receive either doxycycline (2 times per day, by mouth, for 7 days) or azithromycin (1 single dose by mouth). Study procedures will include collection of at least 3 urine samples to test for chlamydia. Study visits will occur during initial enrollment in the study, day 28 after starting treatment, and day 67. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 67 days.
Sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections are a widespread public health concern due to their prevalence and potentially devastating reproductive consequences, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. The goal of this study is to evaluate the risk factors for adverse outcomes following genital tract infection with Chlamydia trachomatis and to evaluate whether or not the presence of C. trachomatis in the rectum act as a reservoir for infection.
The purpose of this study was to use participant samples to simultaneously evaluate three nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) diagnostic platforms.
