Active clinical trials for "Mycoses"

This is a prospective, open-label, single center, pharmacokinetic study of anidulafungin in infants and toddlers less than 24 months of age with suspected serious infection. There will be up to 24 subjects enrolled; each will receive anidulafungin. Patients will receive anidulafungin 3 mg/kg loading dose on day 1 of study and will receive 1.5 mg/kg every 24 hours on study days 2-5.Plasma pharmacokinetics will be evaluated using a limited sampling scheme. We hypothesize that the PK parameters of anidulafungin will not differ from those observed in older children and adults.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of PXD101 and bortezomib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. PXD101 and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PXD101 may also cause cancer cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving PXD101 together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

Primary purpose: Frequency of use of broad-spectrum antifungals in the episode of neutropenia. Secondary purposes:To determine the safety and toxicity measure by: Frequency of Invader Fungal Infection. Frequency of global use of broad-spectrum antifungals as amphotericine, itraconazole, voriconazole, caspofungin, terbinafine, during the period of study. Mortality Development of nephrotoxicity Use of galactomannan in this clinical context Time of administration of empirical antifungal therapy of broad-spectrum.

This phase II trial studies how well cyclophosphamide works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before transplantation helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Healthy stem cells from a donor that are infused into the patient help the patient's bone marrow make blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes, however, the transplanted donor cells can cause an immune response against the body's normal cells, which is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Giving cyclophosphamide after transplant may prevent this from happening or may make chronic GVHD less severe.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical response rates of doripenem versus a comparator antibiotic in treatment of hospitalized patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections.

The study objective is to demonstrate that the UVADEX® Sterile Solution formulation of methoxsalen used in conjunction with the UVAR XTS Photopheresis System can have a clinical effect on the skin manifestations of CTCL (mycosis fungoides) in early stage disease.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 17-DMAG in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphomas. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-DMAG, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients who have mycosis fungoides.

The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of patients with T-cell malignancies to combination therapy using interferon-alpha (Roferon) and Isotretinoin (Accutane).
