Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a formula of boric acid and probiotics for vaginal application is effective in the treatment of symptomatic episodes of vulvovaginitis in comparison to pharmacological reference controls (depending on the suspected diagnosis).

Prospective, open label study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety & efficacy of anidulafungin when used to treat children (aged 1 month - <18 years) with invasive candidiasis, including candidemia (ICC).

The objectives of this study were to demonstrate comparable safety and efficacy of Terconazole Vaginal Suppositories, 80 mg(Test Product) and Terconazole Vaginal Suppositories, 80 mg(Reference Product) in the treatment of subjects with vulvovaginal candidiasis in order to establish bioequivalence.

A prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of classic homeopathic therapy compared to maintenance itraconazole therapy with and without additional exogenous lactobacillus for treatment of recurrent Candida vaginitis.

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of once daily topical application of the combinational cream LAS41003 compared to the corresponding mono-substances in the treatment of candida infections in intertriginous areas at the trunk.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of PAC113 mouthrinse for treatment of oral candidiasis in HIV seropositive patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical cure of miconazole Lauriad 50 mg (1x50mg) Bioadhesive buccal tablets compared with clotrimazole troches (5x10mg) after 14 days of treatment (at the test of cure visit, at Day 17-19).

Adults admitted to intensive care units are at risk for a variety of complications. One of the most frequent complications is the development of new infections. Infections due to a fungus called Candida are of particular concern. This study will test the possibility that caspofungin, a new therapy for fungal infections, may reduce the rate of Candida infections in subjects at risk.

This study will examine whether the anti-fungal drug caspofungin can prevent Candida infections in adult patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Caspofungin is approved to treat certain fungal infections, including fungal blood stream infections due to Candida. Because ICU patients are at high risk for Candida, it would be beneficial to have a preventive drug, thereby reducing complications due to infection. Patients 18 years of age or older who are not pregnant may be enrolled in this study on day 3 or 4 of their ICU admission if they have an expected stay of at least 2 additional days in the ICU. Participants are randomly assigned to treatment with either caspofungin or placebo (an inactive substance). Before treatment, patients have a medical history and physical examination. Blood and urine tests are done for routine tests and to look for fungal infection. Additional samples that may be collected to test for fungal infection include a rectal swab or stool sample; a wound culture if the patient has a wound, or a sputum culture in patients who have a tube in their throat to help with breathing or are producing sputum. Patients take caspofungin or placebo once a day for no more than 28 days. In addition, they undergo the following procedures: Review of treatment side effects and medicines taken, daily during treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment Physical examination once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment Urine test once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment to look for possible fungal infection Blood tests twice a week, on the last day of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment for laboratory safety tests and to look for fungal infection Collection of additional samples (rectal swab or stool sample, wound culture, or sputum sample) once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment to look for possible fungal infection

Fluconazole is an FDA-approved drug that is widely used to treat fungal infections due to candida. The experimental drug anidulafungin has been found to be active in treating life-threatening fungal infections. The purpose of this study is to determine whether anidulafungin is as effective as fluconazole in treating candidemia, an invasive form of candidiasis. Three hundred patients 16 years of age or older will participate in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one-half will receive anidulafungin; the other half will receive fluconazole. They will receive the drug for as few as 10 days or for up to 42 days, depending on the seriousness of the infection. The drug will be given over a four-hour period on the first day, and over two hours on the remaining days. While taking the study medication, participants will be required to give blood samples every week until the end of treatment. At two weeks and six weeks following the end of therapy, participants will return for evaluation. Prior to their participation in this study, patients will undergo the following evaluations: a physical exam, an eye exam, an electrocardiogram, and possibly blood work.
