Filter by: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).
A spirometry study is performed in a patient diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. An initial measurement is carried out and the patient is then put on a four-week physiotherapy treatment plan. Four spirometry measurements were taken to assess different variables and an improvement in all the spirometry values was established.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether antifungal prophylaxis with isavuconazole can reduce the incidence of SARS-CoV-2-associated invasive aspergillosis in patients in the ICU (intensive care unit) with severe COVID-19 infection. The investigators will perform an interventional, double-blinded, randomized-controlled, multi-center study in patients with severe COVID-19 infection admitted to the ICU. Patients will be randomized to the isavuconazole prophylaxis plus standard of care (SOC) group or the placebo plus SOC group. Participants will receive isavuconazole or placebo for up to 28 days or until discharge from the hospital (whichever occurs first).
A prospective multi-center observational study to assess the incidence of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) in ICU patients and to identify host- and pathogen related risk factors for IAPA in EORTC negative ICU patients with severe influenza.
This study is investigating the role of allergic (Th2) inflammation in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and history of fungal infection and/or Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis. Little is known about fungal infection in CF and conflicting results exist on whether this results in worse lung function over time. There is concern that persistent fungal infection can result in worse clinical outcome measures in patients with CF. Also, it is unclear how ABPA develops, but may be related to the amount of fungus a patient with CF is infected with. This study looks at inflammatory patterns and allergic responses to fungal elements to help identify biomarkers and signs of allergic disease in fungally infected patients with CF.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab on lung function in participants with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on exacerbations in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on ABPA-related exacerbations - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on hospitalization/emergency department (ED)/urgent care visits in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on asthma control in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and Aspergillus-specific IgE concentrations - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) levels - To evaluate safety and tolerability of dupilumab in participants with ABPA - To evaluate dupilumab concentrations in serum and the incidence of anti-dupilumab antibodies in participants with ABPA
In this study, a new, non-invasive method for diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) will be tested in a clinical pilot project.
The investigators aim to assess the safety and efficacy of nebulized liposomal amphotericin B (ALN) as a complementary therapy to the usual systemic treatment in patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the utility of a non-routine test as a surrogate marker of efficacy. To this end, a 3-year phase I, prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial will be carried out in a single center, in patients with proven or probable pulmonary aspergillosis receiving routine systemic treatment. Participants will be randomized ( 1: 1) to receive ALN, 25 mg or nebulizer injection water 3 times a week, for 6 weeks. The primary objective is the safety of ALN in this scenario, including clinical tolerance and pharmacokinetic studies. Secondary objectives are presented as: a) clinical efficacy, using the following criteria: complete response, partial response, stability and progression or death, on week 12; b) microbiological efficacy, using culture, galactomannan, BDGlucan and Aspergillus PCR in induced sputum on week +6; and c) to explore the utility of the SUV ("standardized uptake value") index in PET-CT performed on week +6 in relation to a baseline PET-CT as a surrogate marker of response. The administration of ALN and placebo will be carried out by eFlowR vibrating membrane electronic nebulizers. To carry out the study, the following visits will be made: baseline, week 1,2,3,4,5,6 (efficacy and safety evaluation), 9 and 12 (overall evaluation).
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) has been reported in critically ill patients with influenza infection with a highly variable incidence between 1 to 21%. Studies investigating IPA in critically ill patients with influenza infection suffer limitations in their methods. It remains unknown whether patients with influenza are more at risk of IPA than other patients hospitalized in intensive care unit and whether patients with influenza who develop IPA have specific risk factors for this infection. Our study aims to determine the incidence of IPA in a large multicenter cohort and to identify risk factors for IPA in these patients.
The primary safety objectives were: - Part 1: To determine the safety and tolerability of single doses of ZP-059 in healthy subjects - Part 2: To determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of ZP-059 in subjects with mild stable asthma - Part 3: To determine the safety and tolerability of single doses of ZP-059 in subjects with mild to moderate stable asthma. The primary PK objectives were: - Part 1: To characterize systemic PK of voriconazole and N-oxide voriconazole after single doses of ZP-059 in healthy subjects - Part 2: To characterize systemic PK of voriconazole and N-oxide voriconazole after multiple doses of ZP-059 in subjects with mild stable asthma - Part 3: To characterize systemic PK of voriconazole and N-oxide voriconazole after single doses of ZP-059 and single doses of oral voriconazole in subjects with mild to moderate stable asthma.
