Filter by:Study clinical context Cerebral aspergillosis (CA) is a rare location of invasive aspergillosis (IA), associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Since 2002, voriconazole is the recommended first line treatment of invasive aspergillosis. More recently, isavuconazole appeared to be not less effective than voriconazole in the treatment of filamentous IFI, with a better tolerance profile. The investigators aim to evaluate better the efficacy and the safety of isavuconazole in the treatment of cerebral aspergillosis by a descriptive, multicentric, international retrospective cohort study.
This is a prospective genetically-stratified randomized double-blind event-driven multicentre clinical trial to assess the efficacy of posaconazole-based antifungal prophylaxis allocation strategies for patients with acute myeloid leukemia who receive induction chemotherapy. Allocation strategy based on an invasive mold infection genetic risk will be double-blinded.
This study will establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach and evaluate clinical outcomes for children at high-risk for pulmonary invasive fungal infection (PIFI).
This trial is aimed to study the immunological and pathological characteristics of influenza versus non-influenza severe community-acquired pneumonia patients in ICU.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of oral dosage of Posaconazole which is routinely administered as a standard care prophylaxis for patients undergoing cancer treatments.
This study compares the therapeutic (clinical and radiological) efficacy of a six-month treatment by itraconazole and nebulised Ambisome® (liposomal amphotericin B = LAmB) versus treatment by itraconazole alone, in non - or mildly - immunocompromised patients affected by Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (single aspergilloma excluded). • Control arm: Itraconazole 200 mg x 2/day associated with inactive nebulised treatment twice a week during 24 weeks. • Experimental arm: Itraconazole 200 mg x 2/day associated with nebulised LAmB, at 25 mg twice a week during 24 weeks. Follow up duration for the patients will be 24 months (12 months minimum) after discontinuation of the treatment being studied.
The main aim of this study is to determine whether the levels of different inflammatory cytokines in the serum and BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) are relative to the severity and exacerbations of ABPA (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis).
Aspergillus-specific IgG assays for the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA)
Via a prospective non-interventional study clinical outcome of patients with - and without - history of pre-existing invasive aspergillosis undergoing allo-HSCT will be assessed, in terms of non-relapse mortality overall mortality and fungal infectious morbidity. Aim. Assessment of 1-year outcome of patients undergoing allo-HSCT with history of pre-existing IA vs. no pre-existing IA. Hypothesis. NRM in patients with pre-existing IA is not higher (by a specified margin of 10%) than patients without pre-existing IA. Study population. First allo-HSCT in patients with acute leukaemia and MDS given stem cell grafts. Cohort 1: History of probable or proven invasive aspergillosis Cohort 2: No History of probable or proven invasive aspergillosis: this cohort includes also the patient with a history of possible mycosis not documented microbiologically.
Diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis remains difficult, and is often based on a combination of patient characteristics, radiological and microbiological findings. To data, galactomannan (GM) is the only well-validated biomarker available. However, GM still has its shortcomings. There is therefore a need for new, complementary biomarkers. In this study, two of those tests, bis(methylthio)gliotoxin (bmGT) and a lateral flow device, will be validated in a hematological population, and compare it to GM.
