Oral Itraconazole Versus Combination of Systemic Glucorticoids and Oral Itraconazole in CPA-ABPA...
Chronic Pulmonary AspergillosisAllergic Bronchopulmonary AspergillosisWhile ABPA and CPA represent two distinct manifestations of Aspergillus-related lung disease, there is an overlap of investigations that are currently used for the diagnosis of these entities. In a previous study, the authors have demonstrated that 22% of subjects with CPA fulfilled the obligatory criteria for ABPA. While the preferable therapy in patients with ABPA is systemic glucocorticoids, the primary therapy in CPA is oral triazoles. However, a different management protocol in the "overlap group" with low doses of glucocorticoids and triazoles, needs to be systematically explored. In this study the investigators intend to compare the clinical outcomes in subjects with ABPA-CPA overlap treated either with oral azoles or a combination of systemic glucocorticoids and oral azoles.
Deflazacort vs. Prednisolone in Acute-stage ABPA
Allergic Bronchopulmonary AspergillosisOral glucocorticoids are currently the treatment of choice for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). They not only suppress the immune hyperfunction but are also anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, numerous toxicities and adverse effects have been attributed to glucocorticoids related to both the average dose and cumulative duration of use. Deflazacort is a oxazoline steroid with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. The novel structural characteristic of deflazacort is associated with substantial lack of sodium-retaining activity, lower interference with carbohydrate metabolism and calcium metabolism in comparison with older glucocorticoids such as prednisolone. The investigators hypothesize that the occurrence of side-effects, primarily weight gain will be lower with deflazacort. In this study, the investigators will compare the safety and efficacy of deflazacort in the treatment of acute-stage ABPA complicating asthma.
Study to Evaluate Itraconazole Administered as Inhaled Dry Powder in Adults With Asthma and Allergic...
ABPAThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn about PUR1900 as an inhaled, antifungal therapeutic for the treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with asthma. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is PUR1900 safe and well tolerated in adults with asthma and ABPA? Is there an effect of daily administration of PUR1900 on potential outcome measures in adults with asthma and ABPA? Is there fungal resistance to A. fumigatus? This study includes a 28-day screening period, a 112-day (16-week) treatment period, and a 56-day (8 week) observation period. Participants will take either 40mg of PUR1900, 20 mg of PUR1900 or Placebo for 112 days and complete an eDairy, answer questions about their asthma and complete peak respiratory flow measurements at home. They will come to the clinic approximate once a month during the treatment period and complete study assessments. At the end of the observation period participants will complete one more clinic visit. Participants who complete this study may be given the opportunity to continue on study drug in an open label extension study.

Invasive CandidiasisMucocutaneous Candidiasis8 moreThis 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.
Investigating Treatment With Dupilumab in Patients With Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis...
Allergic Bronchopulmonary AspergillosisThe 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
A Prospective Study on Optimizing Treatment for ABPA
Allergic Bronchopulmonary AspergillosisThis study is being done to evaluate the efficacy of treatment using oral glucocorticoid, anti-fungal agent, anti-IgE mAb for patient with ABPA.
Immune Profiles in CF Fungal Infection
Cystic FibrosisFungal Infection1 moreThis 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.
