Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. During the study, non-HIV patients who are admitted to ICU due to Pneumocystic pneumonia (PCP) and have not received anti-PCP therapy or have received therapy less than 48hrs will be randomized (1:1) to received caspofungin combined with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole alone.

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of caspofungin combined with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with that of conventional therapy (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole alone) as first-line therapy in the treatment of severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in non-HIV patients.
