Path study: Helping people in the hospital with injection-related infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how to improve treatment for people who inject drugs and are in the hospital for a serious infection (like an infection in the blood, heart, or bones). It aims to find better ways to support their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently in the hospital for a serious infection (like a bloodstream infection, bone or joint infection, heart valve infection, or a deep abscess).
- You are willing and able to give your consent to participate.

This study looks for fungal infections in hospitalized patients. It aims to understand how common serious fungal infections are, especially in people with weakened immune systems or certain medical conditions.
This study is for people who are in the hospital with a serious infection caused by injection drug use. It aims to provide better care and support while you are in the hospital and after you leave.
This study is for people diagnosed with serious bacterial infections, specifically those caused by certain bacteria (pneumococcus, meningococcus, or haemophilus influenzae type b) that have spread throughout the body. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care.
This trial looks at natural molecules that help the body resolve severe infections. Researchers want to understand how these molecules affect recovery and identify patient types that respond best. It may help improve treatment for people in the ICU with serious infections.
This trial tests BSG005, a new IV medicine for patients with invasive fungal infections that haven't improved with standard treatment or can't use standard treatments due to side effects or resistance. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
This study is looking at the thin layer of germs (called biofilm) that can form on IV tubes used in the hospital, and how it might cause infections. If you are staying at the NOVO hospital in Pontoise and have a small IV in place, researchers want to learn more about the germs on it to help prevent infections in the future.
