Filter by:Pevion Biotech develops a state-of-the-art vaccine against recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) caused by the pathogenic form of Candida albicans especially in pre-menopausal women of childbearing age with a history of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the vaccine, administered by two different routes (intramuscular and intravaginal) as primary endpoint. Immunogenicity will be evaluated as secondary endpoint.
The objective of this study is to determine whether pharmacokinetic parameters of anidulafungin correlate with disease severity and plasma protein levels in critically ill patients.
Pediatric patients are at high risk to acquire mycotic infections following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. In the present retrospective analysis we assess the safety and efficacy of different regimens in antimycotic prophylaxis.
This was a study that compared the efficacy and safety of a generic butoconazole nitrate vaginal cream, 2% to Gynazole-1 (butoconazole nitrate) Vaginal Cream, 2% in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by Candida species.
A prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of classic homeopathic therapy compared to maintenance itraconazole therapy with and without additional exogenous lactobacillus for treatment of recurrent Candida vaginitis.
Background: Oral candidiasis is most frequently found among the elderly .It is accompanied with oral pain, irritation, burning sensation. In addition, the altered taste sensation may cause nutrition compromise, which may affect ones diet. Management of superficial oral Candida is usually achieved by treatment with clotrimazole, a fungi static drug which is given five times per day with instruction to slowly suck on it with out the dentures. Working hypothesis and aims: Management of oral candidiasis is feasible. The major disadvantage of the mode of action now days is the substantively of the drug in the oral cavity and patient compliance. A sustained release varnish which is easily applied on the dentures, which also release the anti fungal drug for at least a day, may overcome some of the pit falls of the treatment applied today. Based on our past experience, in developing local sustained release varnishes for dental use, we anticipate that we can also formulate a special anti fungal sustained release varnish which will fit the special and unique needs of the elderly population. Methods: Sustained release varnish will be developed in our laboratory. The kinetics of release (using HPLC) and antifungal activity (Bioassays) will be examined in vitro. The formulation showing the optimal results will be tested on human subjects with oral candidiasis. The efficacy of the varnish will be examined clinically (reduction in symptoms), microbiology (reduction of oral fungal), pharmaceutically (release kinetics in vivo). Expected results: The clinical out come of one time varnish application will be improved compared to the five times application of lozenges (used today). The severity of the disease should decrease and the healing period should be shorten drastically. Importance: This is a novel pharmaceutical development of a local application of a dental varnish designed specially to the elderly population
The objectives of this study were to demonstrate comparable safety and efficacy of Terconazole Vaginal Suppositories, 80 mg(Test Product) and Terconazole Vaginal Suppositories, 80 mg(Reference Product) in the treatment of subjects with vulvovaginal candidiasis in order to establish bioequivalence.
The objective of this study is to collect the safety and efficacy data of Eraxis IV (anidulafungin) 100 mg according to Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulations.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics and safety of a fluconazole loading dose in infants and toddlers.
In critically ill patients Candida spp. are frequently isolated from respiratory tract secretions such as endotracheal aspirates and bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) and are most often considered as colonizers of the respiratory tract. In contrast, pneumonia due to infection with Candida spp. is rare and is diagnosed by histological demonstration of the yeast in lung tissue with associated inflammation. In spite of this, preemptive antifungal therapy based on isolation of Candida spp. from the respiratory tract is often initiated in critically ill patients. The disadvantages of this approach include increased selective pressure for the development of antimicrobial resistance, potential risks of adverse drug reactions and high treatment costs. On the other hand, immediate administration of appropriate antifungal therapy has been shown to be an important predictor of favorable outcome for patients with invasive fungal infections. Therefore, the development of reliable diagnostic measures for the detection of invasive pulmonary candidiasis is crucial. The overall objective of the proposed research project is to identify diagnostic strategies to differentiate between Candida colonization and Candida infection of the lower respiratory tract in critically ill patients. The proposed projects intends to test the hypothesis that 1.) invasive Candida strains from the lower respiratory tract differ from colonizing Candida strains with regard to production and expression of putative virulence factors and/or that 2.) patients suffering from pulmonary invasive candidiasis differ from patients colonized by Candida spp. with regard to inflammatory markers, other serum markers (fungal antigen) and composition of indigenous pulmonary bacterial flora.
