Active clinical trials for "Mycoses"

To determine the amount of voriconazole in the brain after 2 loading doses and 3 maintenance doses over 3 days and compare it to the amount of voriconazole in the plasma.

This trial will examine 2 ways of using the antifungal posaconazole to prevent invasive fungal disease and the precipitation of chronic rejection post lung transplantation.

This was a prospective clinical study that all voriconazole-treated adult Chinese patients with invasive pulmonary infection admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from March 2018 to April 2020.

This is an observational chart review of all patients with confirmed and probable diagnosis of mucormycosis at 19 centers across Indian hospital. Data will collect using a standardized CRF. All collected data will be entered into a database prior to analysis. Broadly data will be collected on demography, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome for each patient. Patient will continue to receive treatment as per treating physicians advise. Primary outcome for this study will be overall survival at 45 & 90 days.

To investigate the efficacy of posaconazole as prophylaxis antifungal agent in aplastic anemia / hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome (AA/hMDS) patients undergoing antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment

The TAILORED-Treatment consortium was established to develop new tools aimed to increase the effectiveness of antibiotic and antifungal therapy, reduce adverse events, and help limit the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in children and adults.

Escalating resistance to antibiotics among disease-causing community bacteria increasingly threatens our ability to treat patients' infections. At the level of the physician-patient encounter, incentives at the patient level often take priority to society; this is often the case with antibiotic prescribing. Each patient level antibiotic treatment decision is based on how we value potential outcomes, including short-term benefits and risks and longer-term risks, including those related to future bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotics are often prescribed for illnesses unlikely to have a bacterial etiology; even a very small likelihood of benefit seems to outweigh an increased risk of future antibiotic resistance. While short-term effects of antibiotics on colonization with resistant bacteria have been demonstrated, the overall implications of each treatment for future individual, family and societal-level resistance remain difficult to quantify, and are often steeply discounted or ignored during decision-making. Knowledge regarding the longer-term effects of personal and household antibiotic use could better quantify these future resistance-related risks, and help guide antibiotic decision-making for physicians and patients. Infants are born with sterile nasopharyngeal and gastrointestinal tracts and yet, during the 1st year of life, become important reservoirs of resistant organisms; this creates an opportunity to study colonization and resistance starting from a microbiological tabula rasa. In this proposal, we will use an observational cohort to following newborns' antibiotic exposure and longitudinal colonization with specific bacterial pathogens and related antibiotic resistance in the 1st year of life. Our hypothesis is that during the 1st year of life, infants with personal and household antibiotic exposure will have greater colonization with resistan organisms than infants without antibiotic exposure. This project will help us understand the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics within the community, and help to inform judicious decision-making regarding antibiotic prescribing.

Posaconazole plasma concentration and inflammatory markers will be determined in all samples available from routine analysis.

The aim of the study is to determine viable use of caspofungin in post-OLTx patients, and to demonstrate in particular the effectiveness, understood as the ability to reduce the incidence of invasive fungal infections, and to assess the ability to reduce the risk and incidence of side effects (toxicity) which may arise in transplant patients treated with other drugs, especially in individuals recognized as high risk (e.g. renal failure).

This study's primary objective is to determine if continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can adequately remove the sulfobutylether-ß-cyclodextrin sodium (SBECD) vehicle from the blood so that intravenous voriconazole can be utilized in critically ill patients with renal dysfunction requiring dialysis. Secondarily, the pharmacokinetics of intravenous voriconazole and its metabolite (UK121-265) and adverse effects of SBECD accumulation will also be evaluated. The study hypothesis is that CRRT is effective at removing SBECD and allows patients to receive intravenous voriconazole without the concern of SBECD accumulation.
