Filter by: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.
This is a multicenter study with the aim to determine the prevalence of influenza-related invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in Swedish intensive care units and to assess the clinical impact of and risk factors for influenza-related invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis (ITBA) is an uncommon, but severe clinical form of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) in which the fungal infection is entirely or predominantly confined to the tracheobronchial tree. In view of the limited data concerning critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe influenza associated with ITBA, the investigators decided to evaluate the differences between the clinical presentations of two invasive infections: ITBA and IPA without tracheobronchial involvement (No ITBA).
This study will establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach and evaluate clinical outcomes for children at high-risk for pulmonary invasive fungal infection (PIFI).
This trial is aimed to study the immunological and pathological characteristics of influenza versus non-influenza severe community-acquired pneumonia patients in ICU.
Study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of coadminstration of SCY-078 with a mold-active azole (voriconazole) compared to voriconazole in patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
Study the incidence and outcome of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in ICU patients with severe influenza and in influenza-negative control patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new antifungal with a novel mechanism of action in immunocompromised adults with invasive aspergillosis.
A standard treatment protocol for invasive aspergillosis (IA) will be implemented in several academic hematology centers in the Netherlands in which a diagnostic test demonstrating azole resistance by multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction will guide the choice of appropriate antifungal treatment. Objectives: 1. Improve the outcome of patients infected with azole resistant A. fumigatus by the early detection of Resistance Associated Mutations (RAMs) and with this the earlier initiation of the most appropriate therapy. 2. Monitor the prevalence of invasive aspergillosis due to strains carrying the TR34/L98H or the TR46/T289A/Y121F resistance associated mutations in the Netherlands.
