Active clinical trials for "Mycoses"

This study is to evaluate safety and prophylaxis effect of micafungin after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Micafungin is administered until confirmation of neutrophil engraftment or treatment failure.

This trial is an observational study about combination antifungal therapy in hematologic patients with proven and probable invasive fungal infections (IFI).

The pharmacokinetics of caspofungin are expected to be different in ICU patients compared to non-ICU patients. The investigators will determine caspofungin concentrations in 20 ICU patients, who will get caspofungin as standard care. Full PK curves will be taken on day 3 and a limited PK curve on day 7, trough levels will be taken daily.

The purpose of this study is to Comparison clinical efficiency with IPFI patients who treated by different protocols(empirical therapy or preemptive therapy) in ICU.

This observational study is designed to evaluate the reported outcomes for patients receiving topical therapy for the treatment of pain, fungal infections or skin scars. The patients will complete the Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) survey monthly and provide valuable data on the patients perception of their health status and well being while receiving therapy.

The goal of this study is to identify genetic changes associated with the initiation, progression, and treatment response of response of cutaneous and hematologic disorders using recently developed high-throughput sequencing technologies. The improved understanding of the genetic changes associated with cutaneous and hematologic disorders may lead to improved diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic options for these disorders.

The purpose of this program is to determine the frequency of the use of Posaconazole in immunocompromised patients refractory to first line therapy receiving therapeutic treatment based on different pathogens in comparison to other antifungal therapy. A further objective is to determine the frequency of the use of Posaconazole in immunocompromised patients receiving prophylactic treatment in comparison to other antifungal prophylaxis.

This study is designed to determine the rate at which stem cell transplant patients can develop infection caused by a group of viruses, known as adenovirus, and common fungi. Stem cells are unspecialized cells, capable of producing more stem cells or other specialized cells, and are used to replace damaged or diseased cells. The study will be conducted in children (2-17years old) being transplanted with stem cells from a donor. Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation are more likely to develop infections as their immune systems are weakened. Blood, stool, urine and throat swab samples will be collected (for at least 100 days on a weekly basis) to detect infection(s) caused by adenovirus or fungus. Subjects will participate for up to 1 year following the transplant procedure.

Caspofungin (CAS) is used to prevent and treat invasive fungal infections patients older than 3 months. However, the optimal dosing strategy of CAS is lacking in adolescents from 12 to 17 years old, especially those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), who are vulnertable to fungal infections. The study aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model and assess the dosing schemes of CAS in adolescents with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Invasive fungal disease in the critically ill patient is a serious complication that increases hospitalization times, morbidity and mortality, and healthcare costs. Our team proposes a retrospective observational study of patients from the resuscitation unit of the Hospital la Fe who during the years 2016-2019 presented invasive candidiasis. The investigators intend to detect if there are possible specific risk factors that favor the development of invasive candidiasis in colonized patients and if these associated risk factors could be considered as 'triggers' or alerts for the implementation of specific care in these patients. To do this, the investigators intend to study the blood samples taken from patients, taking into account different types of perioperative variables from them, which will be statistically analyzed, so that evidence-based inferences can be drawn to demonstrate our hypothesis.
