Invasive fungal infection is detecting candida species in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or urine. Clinical signs of invasive candidiasis may include lethargy, temperature instability, feeding intolerance, apnea, hypotension, respiratory distress, abdominal distension, and thrombocytopenia. Fungal infection has been associated with an increased risk of retinopathy of prematurity and chronic lung disease. Preterm and low birth weight infants have an immature immune system that predisposes them to infections with bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These infants usually require prolonged admission in the neonatal unit and there is often a need for the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics which predisposes them to colonization with fungi that may invade to cause systemic disease8. Other risk factors for the development of invasive fungal infection include endotracheal intubation, abdominal surgery, the presence of a central venous catheter, administration of H2 antagonists, and steroids. Infection with Candida species is the third most common cause of bloodstream infection in premature infants. Mortality in preterm infants due to invasive candidiasis is around 20% and can be as high as 50% in infants weighing <1500g at birth. Invasive candidiasis is the second most common infectious cause of death in extremely preterm infants. The present study was conducted to determine the incidence of invasive candidiasis among preterm and very low birth weight infants in our neonatal unit and to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic fluconazole in preventing invasive fungal infection. Based on the results of the present study institutional guidelines may be designed in our neonatal unit relating to antifungal prophylaxis in preterm and very low birth weight infants.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare antifungal therapy duration in pediatric uncomplicated candidemia. The specific aims are: - Compare the desirability of outcome ranking in children with uncomplicated candidemia randomized to 7 additional days of antifungal therapy (standard-course) versus no additional antifungal therapy (short-course) after already receiving 7 days of echinocandin therapy. - Compare the 14-day desirability of outcome measure for subjects with a negative and those with a positive T2Candida® biomarker at day 7 of therapy within randomized groups. Participants meeting eligibility criteria will be approached and consented between day 5 and 7 of primary systemic antifungal therapy. On day 7 of primary systemic antifungal therapy, inclusion and exclusion criteria will again be reviewed for consented patients and those still eligible will be randomized 1:1 to the two study arms. Researchers will compare no additional antifungal therapy (short-course) versus 7 additional days of systemic antifungal therapy (standard-course) in pediatric patients with uncomplicated candidemia who have already received 7 days of primary systemic antifungal therapy to see if shorter durations are as effective as longer durations in treating uncomplicated candidemia.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-controlled, single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy and population pharmacokinetics of Amphotericin B cholesteryl Sulfate Complex for Injection domestic formulations (ABCD) in the treatment of confirmed invasive candidiasis (IC) and confirmed/clinically diagnosed invasive aspergillus (IA) disease.
A randomized, single-dose, two-way crossover study to evaluate bioequivalence of two formulations of micafungin (50 mg/vial) after intravenous infusion of 50 mg micafungin in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Fosmanogepix) for the potential treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis, a life-threatening fungal infection caused by several species of yeast called Candida. The study is seeking patients who have a diagnosis of candidemia and / or invasive candidiasis. Two-thirds of all patients will receive the study medication fosmanogepix Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fosmanogepix tablets. One-third of all patients will receive a standard of care regimen of caspofungin Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fluconazole capsules. Fosmaogepix or caspofungin will first be given as an Intravenous (IV) infusion directly into a vein in the arm each day at the study clinic. Fosmaogepix tablets or fluconazole capsules will be taken orally by mouth daily either at the study clinic, or at home if patients are well enough to be discharged from the hospital. We will compare the experience of patients receiving fosmanogepix to those receiving caspofungin/ fluconazole. This will help us determine if fosmanogepix is safe and effective. Patients will continue treatment for a maximum of 6 weeks depending on whether the infection has cleared and whether the symptoms related to the infection has improved. During this time, they will have study visits for up to 10 times. There will also be a follow-up visit 6 weeks after the study treatment was stopped.
Intra-abdominal candidiasis remains the first origin of invasive candidiasis in critically ill patients with a mortality up to 60%. This high mortality is partly related to delay of anti-fungal treatment administration. According to experts in the field, new diagnostic methods to rapidly detect Candida in intra-abdominal infections is mandatory because the current strategies suffer from a lack of both sensitivity and specificity. The calscreener (SYMCEL®) is a new diagnostic tool to rapidly identify the presence of pathogens in biological samples based on micrometabolic activity detection. This technology also allows to measure the metabolic activity of pathogens. The ICCA project will test the feasibility, the accuracy and the diagnostic performance of the calscreener on an existing biological collection of peritoneal fluid. This collection came from a cohort of critically ill patients with intra-abdominal infection which required abdominal surgery. Intra-abdominal infections consist of bacterial peritonitis and intra-abdominal candidiasis. The presence of pathogens (bacteria and yeast) is already known, the peritoneal fluid being stored after routine analysis (bacteriology / mycology). In addition to the detection / identification of yeast will be investigated in this project, the cal screener will be used to evaluate the metabolic profile of Candida albicans in the peritoneal fluid, alone and with bacteria. This objective aims to evaluate the virulence of Candida in the peritoneal fluid from a metabolic perspective. The results will be compared to phenotypic and molecular evaluation.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of the human immune response to candidemia/invasive candidiasis as it relates to the cytokine interferon-gamma.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study of two treatment regimens for invasive candidiasis included candidemia. Subjects will receive intravenous echinocandin followed by oral ibrexafungerp (SCY-078) vs intravenous echinocandin followed by oral fluconazole.
The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the prevention of invasive fungal diseases when compared to the standard antimicrobial regimen.
