Filter by:With the knowledge that VVC is an infectious disease of the genitourinary tract that is common in women of reproductive age, and because of the shortage of non-drug therapies for this condition, this study will aim to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet A/blue LED with a wavelength of 401 ± 5 nm in patients with a clinical manifestation of candidiasis and its ability to prevent recurrence.
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.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the association of early Candida infection (known as oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis, OPC) in children during the first year of life with the onset and severity of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC).
This project aims to investigate if the contraceptive method, Phexxi, causes changes to the composition of the vaginal microbiome. The investigators hypothesize that regular use of Phexxi will cause increased colonization of lactic acid-producing lactobacilli, which could have positive effects in the way of preventing recurrent episodes of BV and candida infections.
Bloodstream infections due to Candida spp remain a serious medical challenge because of their high incidence and poor outcome. Diagnosis and monitoring of patients are still problematic, hindering efficient clinical management of the disease. The invastigators propose here to perform a retrospective study in a clinically well-characterized candidemic patient, with the goal of recognizing host immunological factors and virulence-associated fungal molecules relevant in the onset and evolution of infection. The researchers' ultimate goal is to identify new diagnostic and/or prognostic benchmarks useful in clinical settings. By combining serologic and immunologic expertise with clinical expertise, the research team has real potential to generate new markers of host pathogenesis and immune response in candidemia and to inform prospective clinical trials to control this terrible disease
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.
Corticosteroids exposure is a common risk factor for invasive fungal infections. Systemic corticosteroid therapy treats several medical conditions, including rejection in solid organ transplant recipients, malignancy, and autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. Corticosteroid exposure is a well-known risk factor for developing PJP. Still, it remains unclear how prior corticosteroid exposure influences the presentation, severity, and mortality of opportunistic fungal infections. The investigators aim to prospectively characterize the corticosteroid use as a dose response to inform risk of invasive fungal infections.
Women diagnosed with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis by the health care professional will be enrolled in the study. All participants should fulfil inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study product will be used for 5 days, once a day. The doctor will evaluate the patients before and at the end of the treatment.
This is a multi-centre, multi-national study to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of treatment with Gedea Pessary in adult women with confirmed VVC. The study population will consist of post-menarchal, pre-menopausal females, 18 years or older, seeking care for VVC symptoms. A total of 26 patients are planned to be included in the study. On Day 0 (Screening, Visit 1), eligible patients will undergo a gynaecological examination, including collection of CVVS data, and vaginal samples. Patients will be provided with 6 doses of Gedea Pessary that will be self-administered as a daily treatment (Days 0 to 5). Patients will visit the clinic on Day 7 (+2 days, Visit 2) for gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure and reporting of AEs and concomitant medications. On Day 14 (±2 days, Visit 3), patients that did not have a clinical and mycological cure Day 7 will re-visit the clinic for additional gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure. Rescue treatment will be offered during visits 2 and 3, if necessary. Patients will have a final telephone follow-up on Day 25 (±3 days, Visit 4), for for reporting of AEs, concomitant medications and potential menstruation onset. Vaginal sampling for culture and sequencing, as well as vaginal pH measuremetnts will be performed at the clinic on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14. On Day 25, patients will self-perform vaginal swabs at home for sequencing and vaginal culture. Patient questionnaires for assessing VVC symptoms, will be used during the treatment period (Days 0 to 5), 1 day after the treatment (Day 6) and on Days 11 and 25. Usability will be assessed on Day 7, also via the patient questionaire. The patient questionnaire will be based on an electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) system, i.e. a mobile application (ViedocMe™).
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
