Filter by:Invasive fungal infections (IFI) in immunocompromised patients pose a major challenge for diagnostics designed to permit timely onset of appropriate treatment. The aim of the current clinical-diagnostic studies, one in in pediatric and one in adult patients at high risk of IFI, is to test newly developed diagnostic approaches to invasive fungal infections in relation to established procedures. The studies will be performed in a prospective, blinded fashion, and represent a work package within the FUNGITECT grant supported by the European Commission. The studies will focus on analyses of blood-samples from patients with febrile neutropenia during treatment of acute leukaemia and other tumour entities, and patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation treated with intensive chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of oral posaconazole tablets in Chinese participants at high risk for invasive fungal infections. Neutropenic participants undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes will be enrolled in the study.
The main goal of this study is to see how the body breaks down an antifungal drug named posaconazole in children with certain cancers, blood disorders, or transplantation of bone marrow or similar blood cells. This study will also help us learn whether a child's age, genetics, or disease affect how well the body breaks down posaconazole.
This study will examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NVXT in a new formulation in patients with mild-to-moderate fungal infection of the toe nail.
Fungal infections could play a role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient's exacerbations and in lung function impairment. In fact, Aspergillus fumigatus is often isolated from respiratory samples, but few data are available about its clinical significance. Aspergillus colonization could be associated to a higher risk of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), which, in COPD patients, is characterized by a 2% incidence (probably underestimated) and a high mortality (72 to 95%). Similarly, detection of anti-Aspergillus antibodies is quite frequent in COPD patients but its significance and usefulness for aspergillosis diagnosis and follow-up have not been assessed. Furthermore, several studies suggest a frequent carriage of Pneumocystis jirovecii, reaching 37-55%, with a higher frequency in the most severe COPD stages and a possible role of colonisation in the occurrence and progression of COPD. As these colonization and sensitization phenomena could be related to domestic exposure to airborne or, for P. jirovecii, to human reservoirs, the investigators set-up a study in order to (i) Evaluate how domestic exposure to mould or to P. jirovecii could impact fungal colonization and sensitization frequency in COPD patients, (ii) Study the relationship between these fungal colonization/sensitization phenomena and lung function impairment in the course of COPD and (iii) Have a better understanding of mould and P. jirovecii circulation in the close environment of patients (between airborne, human reservoirs and patients). In fine, this study will provide data (i) On fungal contamination levels (species and conidia concentration) of COPD patient's homes in a French region, (ii) On the relationship between fungal exposure level and colonization/sensitization phenomena, (iii) On the role of fungal colonization/sensitization in lung function impairment, (iv) To design diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive options for the management of COPD patients, taking into account fungal environmental exposure and colonization/sensitization impact on the evolution of the disease.
MALDI-TOF MS is capable of directly identifying bacteria and fungi in positive blood cultures, which may be beneficial to patient management. Therefore, MALDI-TOF MS is an important new technology that is becoming routine in developed countries. It is currently unknown whether MALDITOF MS improves diagnostics, costs and patient outcomes in developing countries. This study will assess the clinical impact of a MALDITOF MS system (Maldi Biotyper, Bruker, Germany) in the resource constrained setting of Vietnam and at what cost.
The Valchlor PROVe study is a multi-center, prospective, observational, US-based drug study that longitudinally follows patients with Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (MF-CTCL) who are receiving therapy with Valchlor. Patients will be followed prospectively for a maximum of 2 years from the date of signed informed consent (enrollment) until end of study. Continuation in the study is not contingent on continuation of Valchlor.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of oral SCY-078 vs. standard-of-care following initial intravenous echinocandin therapy in the treatment of invasive candidiasis.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with stage IB-IVB mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to at least one type of treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
The primary purpose of this study is to identify the optimal dose of voriconazole, an anti-fungal drug often used in people undergoing stem cell transplant. An optimal dose level is one level that provides a good blood level (concentration) of voriconazole without too much toxicity.
