The main question it aims to answer is: Does the treatment aid in eradicating the infection and improve the overall outcome of such patients?
NCT06433128
The EAP is intended to provide a treatment option for patients with proven or probable serious or life-threatening invasive fungal infection (in accordance with the EORTC-MSGERC criteria) who have exhausted their treatment options, primarily due to an infection with a resistant fungal pathogen, and for whom no other treatment options are available through marketed drugs or investigational agents in clinical studies ongoing in the respective indication.
NCT04157465
Early treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFI) may prevent undue mortality in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. We aim to study the impact of early empiric treatment (based on clinical suspicion) of IFI as compared to pre-emptive treatment (based on biomarkers and culture positivity) on the outcomes in ACLF patients with suspected IFI in a randomized trial. The ACLF patients with clinically suspected IFI would be randomly allocated to empiric treatment or pre-emptive treatment group and followed up clinically to assess the impact on survival, clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness and safety of such an approach. The protocol is designed to cut- down unnecessary usage and to curtail the duration of antifungals use in ICUs based on biomarkers/culture-driven stoppage rules. The results will fuel further studies on formal cost-effective analysis and antimicrobial stewardship protocols in ACLF patients.
NCT06640296
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) still represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly in patients undergoing antineoplastic chemotherapy or allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). International guidelines recommend primary antifungal prophylaxis to reduce mortality and morbidity in these patients. Liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) can represent a valid alternative for antifungal prophylaxis in pediatric age as its spectrum is extended to both molds and yeasts, has reduced pharmacological interactions with the antineoplastic drugs most frequently used in treatment protocols. All this despite the availability of an intravenous formulation which can ensure complete compliance with the treatment. L-AmB prophylaxis has been proposed with different dosages: 1 mg/kg every other day vs 2.5 mg/kg/dose twice-a-week vs 5 mg/kg/once-a-week)
NCT06537726
Patients with leukemia and concomitant neutropenia are at high risk of developing invasive fungal infections (IFI) that are associated with high morbidity and mortality. As these patients typically have severe thrombocytopenia, direct diagnostic sampling with invasive procedures is often not possible due to the high peri-interventional risk. Therefore, the presumptive diagnosis of IFI is primarily based on compatible lung findings on computed tomography and serologic detection of fungal cell wall components, which, however, have limited sensitivity and specificity. With the present study, the investigators aim to determine a set of specific volatile biomarkers in leukemia patients with proven or probable IFI using secondary electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS).
NCT05534529
This study aimed to learn what levels of rezafungin were in the blood after dosing and how safe it was, in children and adolescents below 18 years old who were already receiving treatment for a fungal infection, a suspected fungal infection or at risk of fungal infection. The main question the researchers wanted to answer in this trial was: • What were the levels of rezafungin in the blood after the participants were dosed? The researchers also wanted to know what medical problems happened during this trial. The participants in this trial received one dose of rezafungin on day 1 through a needle into a vein, called an intravenous (IV) infusion. The dose of rezafungin was measured in milligrams (mg) and given to the participants according to their body weight in kilograms (mg/kg). The doctors checked the participants' health and asked questions about what medications they were taking and took blood samples to check the levels of rezafungin in the participants' blood. After receiving the treatment at day 30, the doctors checked the participants' health. This was an "open-label" trial. This means each participant knew what they were receiving, and the doctors and trial staff also knew.
NCT00634049
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of isavuconazole in the treatment of renally impaired participants with invasive fungal infections caused by Aspergillus and participants with invasive fungal disease caused by rare fungi.
NCT04619147
This study will be a descriptive, retrospective evaluation and analysis of invasive fungal infections (IFI) conducted in patients who underwent allogeneic haematopoiectic stem cell transplant (aHSCT) in a single tertiary transplant centre, the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Service across Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC) and Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), Victoria, Australia.
NCT05688592
The goal of this national multicenter prospective cohort study is to learn about the added value of 18F-FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose) PET-CT in invasive fungal disease management. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of 18F-FDG PET-CT allow a better characterization of invasive fungal infection (IFI) (performance) compared to the exclusive use of conventional radiological studies in terms of extension/staging and monitoring of response/follow-up ? 2. Does the systematic and protocolized use of 18F-FDG PET-CT in IFI allow a better management of patients with IFI and increase the prognostic value of the initial evaluation? Participants will undergo systematically a 18F-FDG PET-CT as part of the work-up of their invasive fungal disease. Researchers will compare the performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT with standard management without 18F-FDG PET-CT to see if adds value (diagnostic, prognostic, and changes in management).
NCT06413056
The incidence of fungal infection has increased dramatically over the past few decades.This is due to increase in survival rates of preterm neonates, advances in medical technology and drug therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics and parenteral nutrition . The resistance to antifungal agents has increased. This study will assess the efficacy of micafungin versus amphotericin B in neonates with positive fungal culture.
NCT05881109
Caspofungin (CAS) is used to prevent and treat invasive fungal infections patients older than 3 months. However, the optimal dosing strategy of CAS is lacking in adolescents from 12 to 17 years old, especially those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), who are vulnertable to fungal infections. The study aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model and assess the dosing schemes of CAS in adolescents with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
NCT05749380

NCT04024995
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate invasive fungal infections (IFI) according to clinicians' opinion vs the opinion of an independent board of experts. The primary output of this study is the evaluation of inter-raters agreement. Secondary objectives are: evaluation of IFI incidence; description of clinical and laboratory features; frequencies of different antifungal treatments; description of outcome; impact on the treatment of underlying hematological malignancy. This is a multicenter, non-interventional observational, prospective study. The duration of the study will be 18 months. The study will recruit all consecutive eligible patients in each participating center, during a period of 6 months until at least 600 patients with acute myeloid leukemia are registered, that represented the highest risk category. Other disease types that fulfill the eligibility criteria in the participating centers during the same period will also be recruited in the study. The clinical, microbiological, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures operated on these patients will be collected. An eCRF will be compiled for all patients: T0: at the start of antifungal treatment, information will be collected regarding hematological malignancy, status of the disease at onset of infection and phase of treatment, last chemotherapy regimen, comorbidities and risk factors; previous IFI, neutropenia, antifungal and antibiotic prophylaxis and the kind of IFI clinicians retain the patient suffer (possible/probable/proven) and the kind of antifungal treatment started (empiric/pre-emptive/target); diagnostic work-up done, positive microbiology and biomarkers, positive radiological findings; antifungal treatment. T1: at 30-40 days (or before if the patient unfortunately died) a second form must be completed with information regarding any changes in/additional diagnostic work-up done, positive microbiology and biomarkers, positive radiological findings; any changes in antifungal treatment; outcome. At that time, the local physician must state any revision of his diagnostic classification between the moment in which antifungal treatment was started and the moment of evaluation of the outcome in order to estimate the differences regarding the level of evidence of diagnosis and treatment of IFI during time. Each case will be examined blinded by 2 different experts, who will review all records based on the existing guidelines, their own experience and the information that was known at the two time points, which may confirm or not the decision of local physician. The sample size will be driven by the AML patients (approximately 60-70% of the patients). Sample will be described in its clinical and demographic features via descriptive statistics. Quantitative variables will be summarized with the following measures: minimum, maximum, range, mean and standard deviation. Qualitative variables will be represented by frequencies tables.
NCT00745992
Voriconazole is an effective antifungal agent and may decrease morbidity and mortality for patients with invasive fungal infections. It is metabolized via liver enzymes. However, these enzymes exhibit different activities in individual patient (genetic polymorphism). Higher proportions of Asians metabolize voriconazole slower than Caucasians and African Americans do. Slower metabolizers may experience dose-associated adverse events more frequently, such as visual disturbances, liver function test abnormalities, and neurological complications. On the other hand, extensive metabolizer or other physiologic conditions may lead to lower blood levels of voriconazole, which may result in treatment failure. We plan to enroll patient who take voriconazole and examine their liver enzyme activities and blood samples for peak and trough drug levels. We will collect potential factors affecting voriconazole levels, and correlate the levels with the dosing regimen, activity of liver enzyme, occurrence of adverse events, and treatment outcomes. The goal of this study is to determine if monitoring of voriconazole blood levels is necessary in Taiwan.
