Acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is common among women, but current azole antifungal treatments are often associated with safety and resistance issues. VT-1161 (otesaconazole) is an oral agent with increased selectivity for fungal CYP51. This Phase 2 clinical study evaluated the efficacy and safety of VT-1161 versus fluconazole in subjects with moderate-to-severe acute VVC.

Female subjects presenting with an acute episode of VVC (n=55) were randomized to receive VT-1161 300mg once daily (q.d.) for 3 days, 600mg q.d. for 3 days, or 600mg twice daily (b.i.d.) for 3 days, or a single dose of fluconazole 150mg (current FDA-approved dose to treat acute VVC). MK-5348 Subjects were followed for 6 months. The primary outcome was the proportion of subjects with therapeutic (clinical and mycological) cure at Day 28.

A larger proportion of subjects in the per-protocol population experienced therapeutic cure in the VT1161 300mg q.d. (75.0%), VT1161 600mg q.d. (85.7%), and VT1161 600mg b.i.d. (78.6%) groups versus the fluconazole group (62.5%); differences were not statistically significant. At 3 and 6 months, no subjects in the VT-1161 groups versus 28.5% and 46.1% of subjects in the fluconazole group, respectively, had evidence of mycological recurrence. No serious adverse events or treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation were reported.

The majority of subjects across all treatment groups achieved therapeutic cure at Day 28 in the VT-1161 and fluconazole groups. VT-1161 was well tolerated at all dose levels through 6 months of follow-up.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01891331.

The endpoints that are currently used to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic agents against COVID-19 are focused on clinical status at a particular day or on time to a specific change of clinical status. To provide a full picture of the clinical course of a patient and make complete use of available data, we consider the trajectory of clinical status over the entire follow-up period. We also show how to combine the evidence of treatment effects on the occurrences of various clinical events. We compare the proposed and existing endpoints through extensive simulation studies. Finally, we provide guidelines on establishing the benefits of treatments.
Candidatus (Ca.) Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne pathogen of humans that is closely related to Ehrlichia and Anaplasma species. This strict intracellular bacterium escapes detection by routine microbiologic diagnostic methods such as blood culture leading to considerable under-diagnosis of the infectious disease it causes, neoehrlichiosis.

Here, we describe the vascular and thromboembolic events afflicting a series of 40 patients diagnosed with neoehrlichiosis in Sweden during a 10-year period (2009-2019).

The majority of the patients (60%) developed vascular events ranging from repeated thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, transitory ischemic attacks to arteritis. Younger age was a risk factor for vascular complications. In contrast, there was no difference in the incidence of vascular events between immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. However, there were qualitative differences such that deep vein thrombosis exclusively afflicted the immunosuppressed patients whereas arteritis was restricted to the immunocompetent ones. We also present the case histories of two patients who developed vasculitis mimicking polyarteritis nodosa and giant cell arteritis. Both were cured by doxycycline treatment.

Ca. N. mikurensis infection should be considered in patients living in tick-endemic areas of Europe and northern Asia who present with atypical vascular and/or thromboembolic events. Early diagnosis and antibiotics targeting this emerging infectious agent can eradicate the infection and prevent the development of new vascular events.

Individual and team injury burden and performance are 2 key considerations facing practitioners in the daily prescription of an athlete's training load. Whereas a considerable number of researchers have examined univariate relationships between training load and performance, training load and injury, or injury and performance, few investigators have examined all 3 concurrently.

To assess the association among training load, injury burden, and performance in professional rugby union.

Descriptive epidemiology study.

The English Premiership competition.

Individual injury and training load data, as well as team performance data, were captured during the 2015-2016 (n = 433 players) and 2016-2017 (n = 569 players) seasons.

Data were aggregated into team average scores for each week, including weekly (acute) load, smoothed chronic load, changes in load, injury burden, and weekly performance. Linear mixed modelling techniques were used to assess the association among measures.

Injury burden was negatively associated with performance, with a high weekly burden associated with a likely harmful (P = .
