This is a multicenter, open label, non-comparator, single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrexafungerp (SCY-078) in patients ≥ 18 years of age with a documented fungal disease that has been intolerant or refractory (rIFI) to Standard of Care (SoC) antifungal treatment.
The current standard of care for urogenital infections in Rwanda is syndromic management. Many urogenital infections are asymptomatic and therefore completely missed, and the management of vaginal discharge syndrome is known to be suboptimal. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether it is feasible to improve urogenital infection care in high risk women in Kigali, Rwanda, using point of care (POC) diagnostic testing for HIV, Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and bacterial vaginosis (BV) in all women; POC testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and syphilis in pregnant women and women assessed to be at high risk for these infections using a risk scoring questionnaire; and management of vaginal candidiasis, urinary tract infection (UTI), genital ulcers/inguinal bubos, and lower abdominal pain in women reporting relevant symptoms. The secondary objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate the performance and 2) to obtain the opinions of Rwandan stakeholders.
This is a multi-center, randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 200 mg CAMB and 400 mg CAMB compared with a single 150 mg dose of fluconazole in the treatment of moderate to severe VVC.
Non-interventional extension study to investigate VVC recurrence and candida colonization following the P2 acute VVC study
This is a Phase II study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational product, TOL-463, to treat vaginitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a formula of boric acid and probiotics for vaginal application is effective in the treatment of symptomatic episodes of vulvovaginitis in comparison to pharmacological reference controls (depending on the suspected diagnosis).
This is a prospective case-control physiopathological study, which main objective is to determine the genetic host factors predisposing to candidemia. Secondary objectives are to develop new diagnosis tools using the biological collection, to describe and update epidemiology, to analyse the influence of genetic polymorphisms on prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propolis on the treatment of oral candidiasis, more specifically denture stomatitis. Half of participants will receive a standardized-propolis (EPP-AF®) gel formulation while the other half will receive miconazole gel, both for oral use.
Invasive Candida infections are serious complications in immunocompromised patients including those undergoing treatment for cancer but occur also in patients treated in ICUs. Survival rate of invasive candidiasis is associated with early initiation of antifungal therapy (15% mortality rate for candidemic patients with antifungal therapy on day 0 related to the culture date of the first blood sample positive for yeasts compared to 41% for patients who received antifungal therapy on day 3). Up to date, no laboratory method or clinical decision rule is available for correct anticipation of invasive candidiasis which would avoid delays in appropriate antifungal therapy initiation. In clinical practice culture based methods (e.g. blood cultures) miss up to 50% of invasive candidiasis cases. Preemptive antifungal therapy is therefore often initiated in critically ill patients after Candida has been isolated from various non-sterile patient samples even without any sufficient evidence for invasive candidiasis. The disadvantages of this approach include over- and undertreatment of patients (up to 50% of candidemia cases are missed, and on the other hand 89% patients are treated unnecessarily), increased selective pressure for the development of antifungal resistance, potential risk of adverse drug reactions, and increased costs (expenses for antifungal therapy account for half of the antimicrobial medication budget in tertiary care hospitals). In addition, no survival benefit could be demonstrated by this strategy in ICU patients. The aim of this study is to identify biological markers to anticipate or support the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in ICU patients, to overcome current deficiencies in detection of invasive candidiasis and consequently to differentiate between Candida spp. colonization and invasive Candida infection. The investigators intend to examine time dependent courses of potential host and pathogen derived biomarkers as well as innate or acquired predispositions for invasive candidiasis; e.g. automated (1→3) ß- D- Glucan tests, DNA in serum blood samples, pathogen recognition receptors and serum markers like interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IL-23, Tryptophan, Kynurenine, composition of indigenous microbiota of gastrointestinal and lower respiratory tract and skin, and risk factors for invasive candidiasis like underlying diseases and treatments. The study should contribute to improved assessment of ICU patients at risk for invasive candidiasis and to improved diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in ICU patients. In clinical practice the reliable differentiation between infection and colonization will allow more targeted antifungal therapy leading to enhanced antifungal treatment initiation on the one hand (in cases of true invasive candidiasis) and to reduction of unnecessary antifungal treatments and treatment costs on the other hand.
