Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis, Oral"

Fungi from the genus Candida present the saprophytic flora of the cavity. This saprophytic yeast can cause different form of oral infections at immunocompromised patients as well as at subjects with impaired local oral microbiota e.g. wearers of dentures. The most common cause of oral candidiasis is Candida albicans, but recently, non-albicans species has also been commonly isolated. One of the reasons for growing frequency of non-albicans species is traditional antifungal therapy. Standard antifungal therapy, which means elimination of yeasts, lead to antimicrobial resistance, dysbiosis and higher incidence of non-albicans species In order to overcome these limitations, the new antimicrobial therapy is based on anti-virulence strategy. This approach relays on disarming the microorganism, instead of killing or stopping their growth, which is especially important for saprophytes. In case of Candida albicans the main goal is preventing transition from cell to hyphal form.

CelAgace™ OraRinse (silver citrate complex and acemannan) Solution is planned to be evaluated for safety and effectiveness as a potential treatment for candidiasis, a yeast infection, commonly known as thrush, which is associated with mouth sores.

Forty-eight denture wearers with detectable levels of candida colonization without clinical symptoms will be randomly allocated into two groups: probiotics and placebo. All patients will take a daily dose of chewable tablets (probiotics or placebo according to the assigned group) for 8 weeks. Samples of mouth rinse will be collected from patients at baseline, 4 weeks from the beginning of the intervention, 8 weeks (the end of intervention), and after another 4 weeks for post-intervention follow up. Samples will be tested for both candida count and candida species identification

Introduction: Oral candidiasis is an infectious disease caused by the growth of Candida colonies and their penetration into oral tissues when physical barriers and host defenses are weakened. It constitutes one of the most common pathologies within the field covered by Dentistry. Candida infections are found in at least 80% of AIDS patients and in a third of HIV infection cases. Systemic diseases such as diabetes and a wide pharmacological arsenal to which the general population is subjected, are other causes of the increase in the prevalence of this disease. In addition, the high prevalence of oral sequelae (hyposialia) in the population over 65 years of age, due to the specific characteristics of this age group, such as multiple pathologies and drug use, explains the presence of this disease in this segment. of the population One of the great difficulties for the study of this disease is the diversity of predisposing factors, which do nothing but throw greater confusion into the results of the different works. Objective: To evaluate the reduction/suppression of signs and symptoms of oral candidiasis in patients treated with head and neck RT, users of Vacucis or Placebo. Material and method: Patients will receive information regarding the trial and, if they meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in it, they will sign the informed consent. All patients will be informed following the usual care practice of the characteristics of their candidiasis infection as well as the possibilities and alternatives of treatment and their respective efficacy. A descriptive analysis of the sample in terms of prevalence will be carried out. Categorical variables will be described as frequency and percentage and continuous variables as mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range depending on their adjustment to normality, which will be calculated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To study the effect of the vaccine on the evolution of candidiasis, the Chi-square test, Student's t test or the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test will be used. The association of prevalence with CFU in both groups will be analyzed using the ANOVA test. Those values of p < 0.05 will be considered significant.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give L-743,872 to patients with thrush, an AIDS-related yeast infection of the mouth, that has not been cured with fluconazole treatment.

Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of topical application of miconazole and miconazole-loaded chitosan nanoparticles in treatment diabetic patients with oral candidiasis.

To determine a safe, effective, and convenient dosing schedule for nystatin pastilles in the prevention of oral candidiasis in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC) (group III or IV, CDC classification).

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.

The objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy and safety of Roxane's clotrimazole troches vs. Mycelex troches in HIV positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis, where this condition has been diagnosed by clinical examination and confirmed by fungal culture.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give Lamisil to HIV-positive patients with thrush (a fungal infection) that has not responded to fluconazole.
