Filter by:The purpose of this study is to optimize the management of patients treated for invasive fungal infections by establishing a real-time, continuous clinical data base that will capture and monitor trends in the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of invasive fungal infections; reflect routine clinical management of patients with invasive fungal infections in order to evaluate treatment and provide a rationale for future treatment paradigms; and allow physicians to assess adherence to institutional clinical practice guidelines, validate current standardized definitions for patients with invasive fungal infections and promote change where appropriate.
The study aims to determine if voriconazole prevents invasive fungal infections in liver transplant recipients. Endpoints would be: occurrence of invasive fungal infection and fungal colonization. Two groups will be compared: patients who received voriconazole as prophylaxis and historical controls who did not receive this prophylaxis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the steady state concentrations of inhaled liposomal amphotericin B (Ambisome®) in lung transplant recipients via aerosolized nebulization.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal delivery system for the nebulization of the lipid complex amphotericin B (Abelcet ®) in lung transplant recipients who are positive for invasive aspergillosis (IA) in their lungs. Additionally, the investigators hope to determine the concentrations of amphotericin B achieved in the epithelial lining fluid, and serum with the administration of four days of lipid complex of amphotericin B (Abelcet ®) (QD) via aerosolized nebulization
This study will evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of the topical application of mechlorethamine (MCH) formulations in patients with stage I or IIA mycosis fungoides (MF).
To evaluate and compare two AmBisome dosing regimens for the initial treatment of invasive aspergillosis and other filamentous fungal infections diagnosed by modified EORTC criteria in immunocompromised patients, as determined by overall response rates at end of course of treatment.
A well-known side-effect of cytostatics (drugs against malignancies) is a decrease in the number of white blood cells, especially of the so-called neutrophil granulocytes, which are very important for the defense against infections. Hence their decrease (called "neutropenia") leads to a predisposition to infections. Since infections during neutropenia can be very dangerous, the patients are treated with antibiotics from the very first signs of such an infection (usually fever). If the antibiotics (drugs against bacteria) do not lead to a normalization of the body temperature within four days, a drug against fungi is added. In the IDEA study, one half of the patients receive the antifungal drug voriconazole (as usual) only in case the antibiotics alone do not lead to a normalization of the body temperature (current standard of care). The other half of the patients receive voriconazole immediately after onset of fever (concomitantly with the antibiotics). The research question is, whether in the "early-treatment" group fewer manifest fungal infections will be observed than in the "late-treatment" group.
The study compares the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of caspofungin, liposomal amphotericin B or the combination of both in the antifungal treatment of adult patients after allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with granulocytopenia and persistent i.g. recurrent fever under adequate antibacterial therapy.
To prevent recurrence of invasive fungal infection in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplants
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of voriconazole in the brain by fluorine-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and to compare brain levels to plasma levels.
