NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Clinical Trials Related to Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc (Neomycin / Polymyxin B / Bacitracin Ophthalmic)
Effect of Neomycin on the Pharmacokinetics of Regorafenib [Completed]
Neomycin and Rifaximin Plus Neomycin in Treating Methane Positive Constipation Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome [Completed]
In this study the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of neomycin to a combination of
rifaximin and neomycin in the treatment of C-IBS subjects with methane on their breath test.
This study will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. John DiBaise at the Mayo Clinic in
Scottsdale, AZ and Dr. Satish Rao in Georgia Regents University in Augusta, GA.
Eradication of Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria Through Antibiotics and Fecal Bacteriotherapy [Not yet recruiting]
This investigator initiated,international, multicenter open-label, randomized controlled
trial aims to assess whether a 5 day course of oral nonabsorbable antibiotics (colistin
sulfate 2 million IU per os 4x/day and neomycin sulfate 500 mg (salt) per os 4x/day )
followed by fecal microbiota transplantation (administered either via nasogastric
administration or via capsules) is effective at eradicating intestinal carriage of
beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and carbapenemase producing
Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). compared to no intervention (current standard of care) in adult
non-immunosuppressed patients .
Comparison Between Erythromycin and Neomycin Treatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy [Active, not recruiting]
