Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis"

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.

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), also known as recurrent yeast infections, is defined as at least 3 episodes of acute VVC in the past 12 months. Several properties of oteseconazole (VT-1161) suggest that it might be a safer and more effective treatment for RVVC than other oral antifungal medicines. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oteseconazole (VT-1161) for the treatment of RVVC and consists of 2 parts. The first part of the study is a 2-week period for the treatment of the patient's current VVC episode with 3 150mg doses of fluconazole. The 2nd part consists of 12 weeks, when the patient will take either oteseconazole (VT-1161) 150 mg or a placebo (according to a random assignment), and then a 36-week follow-up period. In addition, at participating sites, an amendment to the study allows US patients who complete the initial 48 weeks without experiencing a confirmed RVVC episode to continue in a 48-week observational extension period designed to evaluate the continued effectiveness of oteseconazole (VT-1161). This study is identical to VMT-VT-1161-CL-011.

EPICA-1 is a multicenter, open label, interventional study which will involve about 30 Internal Medicine Units throughout Italy, enrolling globally at least 100 hospitalised patients with suspicion of invasive candidiasis. These patients will be treated with an echinocandin (micafungin) as timely as possible, and they will continue the antifungal treatment according to international guidelines when diagnosis is confirmed by positive 1,3-β-D-glucan test: this will allow collection of information on patients outcome. At the same time, patients will be also evaluated by means of blood culture, so that comparison will be possible between the two diagnostic tests (primary end-point of the study).

The purpose of this study was to see which one of two medicines (topical gentian violet [GV] or nystatin oral suspension) was better than the other in treating Oral Candidiasis (OC). This was measured by whether the study participant still had OC or sores in his/her mouth after 14 days of treatment. Also, safety and tolerability of GV and nystatin in the treatment of OC were assessed.

In order to find an optimal dose of arasertaconazole nitrate in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to compare the therapeutic efficacy, safety and tolerability of three different doses of arasertaconazole nitrate (150 mg, 300 mg or 600 mg, pessaries).

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and how it is removed from the body over time) of itraconazole (ITCZ) oral solution in participants with Systemic Fungal Infection (SFI) and those with febrile (with fever) neutropenia (FN, decrease in white blood cells) suspected of fungal infection.

This randomised controlled trial aimed to verify whether directly observed single dose treatment (with tinidazole+fluconazole) would be as effective as the longer standard treatments (metronidazole for 7 days, plus vaginal clotrimazole for 3 days) in the syndromic management of women presenting with vaginal discharge in primary health care centers of Ghana, Togo, Guinea and Mali. It was designed as an effectiveness trial, i.e. it was done under conditions typical of routine work in these health centers

To determine the efficacy and safety of IV Micafungin versus IV Fluconazole in the treatment of patients with Esophageal Candidiasis

This is a single center, prospective, open label assessment of β-D-glucan surveillance with preemptive anidulafungin therapy versus standard care for the prevention of invasive candidiasis in at-risk surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients. Subjects will be stratified by APACHE II score and randomized in 3:1 fashion to either biweekly surveillance using the β-D-glucan assay or standard care. Subjects in the active monitoring arm will receive intravenous anidulafungin should the β-D-glucan exceed 60 pg/mL on a single determination. Subjects in the standard care arm will have biweekly blood draws for β-D-glucan, but the specimens will be batched and tested retrospectively. Antifungal use in the standard care arm is at the discretion of the treating physicians. The primary study end-points are the feasibility of a preemptive antifungal strategy in a SICU setting, β-D-glucan test characteristics, and the safety and tolerability of preemptive anidulafungin. Risks associated with study participation include the risks associated with blood draws, study drug related side effects, and the potential for loss of confidentiality.

Patients will receive 2mg/kg/day IV daily administration of AmBisome® over 30-60 minutes as a reaction to signs/symptoms and positive Candida culture
