Filter by:The hypotheses of this study are that single agent CPI-0209 will be safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced (stage IB-IVB) mycosis fungoides (MF)/Sézary syndrome (SS) who have had at least one prior systemic therapy, and that in these patients, CPI-0209 will demonstrate efficacy and be worth of further study.
Patients with mycosis fungoides stage 1A disease have patch and plaque lesions less than %10 of body skin area. Aim of the study is to compare lesional and non-lesional skin of mycosis fungoides patients, and to decide if the systemic treatment is better or local treatment is better for them. Two biopsies for each patient were taken from lesional and non-lesional skin area.
Voriconazole Inhalation Powder is available on an expanded access basis to patients with pulmonary aspergillosis for up to 12 weeks. Duration of treatment may be extended on a case-by-case basis depending on drug availability and after discussion with the Sponsor.
Caspofungin (CAS) is used to prevent and treat invasive fungal infections patients older than 3 months. However, the optimal dosing strategy of CAS is lacking in adolescents from 12 to 17 years old, especially those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), who are vulnertable to fungal infections. The study aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model and assess the dosing schemes of CAS in adolescents with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Ritlecitinib in skin and blood in persons with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL). CTCL is a rare type of cancer that starts in the white blood cells and eventually can result in rashes or tumors in the skin. This study includes a 24 week Treatment Period and a 24 week Follow-up Period. This study will involve physical examinations, visual assessments, laboratory tests, PET-CT scans, electrocardiograms, photographs of your skin, skin biopsies, and hearing tests.
The diagnosis of invasive fungal disease remains challenging in the clinical laboratory. The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for the identification of filamentous fungi as well as its application for antifungal resistance testing and strain typing Will be evaluated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the benefit of continuous treatment with synthetic hypericin ointment (HyBryte) and visible light in patients with mycosis fungoides for up to 12 months (54 weeks). Funding Source: FDA OOPD.
Tissue and serum samples from 20 MF patients and 20 normal healthy controls will be subjected for biochemical assessments by ELISA (Enzyme- linked immune-sorbent assay) for assessing the level of IL35.
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.
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (MF) and presents as cutaneous patches, plaques, and tumors. Radiation therapy (RT) is a frequently pursued management option for CTCL, especially in patients with more advanced skin disease. Imiquimod stimulates a Th1 lymphocyte response with increased IL-2 and IFN-α, but also induces IFN-α, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6, and IL-8, thereby bridging both innate and adaptive immunity. Dosing of both radiotherapy (RT) and imiquimod are based on standard-of-care doses/frequencies for CTCL. The reason imiquimod topical is given for a week before giving RT is to prime innate immune activity for when RT is delivered. It is believed that this serves as an adjuvant for the CD8+ antitumor response generated by RT. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination local radiotherapy and topical imiquimod approach for the treatment of conventional (CD4+) MF.
