Filter by:Many children and young people are at risk of invasive fungal disease (IFD), such as those who have had a haematopoietic stem cell transplants, those with an immune deficiency or those who are prescribed immunosuppressive drugs, for example, corticosteroids. One type of mould that causes invasive fungal disease is called Aspergillus. There is currently no quick test which can tell us if someone has an invasive fungal disease caused by Aspergillus called Aspergillosis. It is a difficult condition to diagnose and the results from the tests that are involved take days or weeks to come back. These tests including a few different blood tests, a scan of the lungs (CT scans) and taking fluid from inside the lungs/airway. A new test for Aspergillosis is the lateral flow device (LFD) assay. This is a rapid test which gives a result within minutes. It involves testing a sample of the fluid from the lungs/airway. This fluid can be obtained as part of the routine investigations for Aspergillosis. It has been shown to be a good and safe test in adults but the investigators do not know if it will be a valuable test in children and young people yet. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the LFD test can effectively diagnose Aspergillosis in children and young people.
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single intravenous (IV) dose of rezafungin in paediatric subjects from birth to <18 years who are receiving concomitant systemic antifungals as clinically indicated.
A study to learn about the bioequivalence (the biochemical similarity of two medicines that share the same active ingredient and desired outcome for patients) of the study medicine called APX001 in healthy participants.
The risk for invasive fungal infections is high in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (< 1500 g) and highest for infants born at the youngest gestational ages who survive past the immediate postnatal period. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) represent an increasing cause of severe morbidity and mortality in most neonatal intensive care units. Lactoferrin (LF) is secreted by epithelial cells into exocrine fluids: seminal fluid, tears, saliva, uterine secretions, and milk. LF is involved in innate immunity mechanisms with several documented anti-infective properties, including antifungal activity. Probiotics are microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed. It is possible to adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by useful microbes. There are certain commercially available strains of probiotic bacteria from the Bifido bacterium and Lactobacillus genera when taken by mouth in daily doses possess treatment efficacy
30 pediatric patients aged 2-18 years receiving fluconazole as part of standard care for the treatment or prophylaxis of an invasive fungal infection will be included in the study. Between day 2 and 10, 6 samples will be collected on two days. In the case a patient switches from oral to intravenous therapy, an additional PK-day consisting of 3 samples will be scheduled. Fluconazole plasma concentrations will be determined. A pharmacokinetic model will be fitted to the data from all individuals simultaneously. Data will be analysed using non-linear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM). Monte Carlo simulations will guide the establishment of an improved fluconazole dosing regimen for pediatric and adolescent patients.
In order to better guide clinical medication, verify the efficacy and safety of ABCD in the treatment of various invasive fungal disease, the investigators have designed a multi-center, retrospective registration study. Diagnosis and treatment data for patients with different types of invasive fungal disease in clinical actual environment was collapsed by a database for collaborative exchange on antifungal research.
A Phase 1, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BSG005 following single and multiple ascending doses in healthy subjects. The study will include a single ascending dose part and a multiple ascending dose part
The purpose of this study is to identify the number of individuals with severe CoVID who require ventilator support and who develop serious fungal infections. The study is an observational study, meaning that we are not providing any intervention that does not involve usual standard of care. Our chief goal is to find evidence of fungal infection by using traditional, approved methods of diagnosis, but by applying these methods in the same way and frequency among all study participants. We will be looking especially for evidence of a fungal infection known as Aspergillus, which can causes a serious lung infection called invasive aspergillosis (IA).
20 patients admitted to the ICU department and receiving isavuconazole as part of standard care for the treatment of fungal infections will be included in the study. Between day 3 and 7, 8 samples will be collected at t = 0 (pre-dose), and t = 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours after end of infusion to obtain a PK curve. An optional, additional sample can be collected after discontinuation of isavuconazole therapy if possible. Total and free isavuconazole concentrations will be determined. A pharmacokinetic model will be fitted to the data from all individuals simultaneously. Data will be analysed using non-linear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM).
This is a multi-center, prospective, open, observational and optimal clinical research to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of different doses of micafungin sodium for injection in patients with hematological tumors.
