Active clinical trials for "Mycoses"

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single intravenous (IV) dose of rezafungin in paediatric subjects from birth to <18 years who are receiving concomitant systemic antifungals as clinically indicated.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the benefit of continuous treatment with synthetic hypericin ointment (HyBryte) and visible light in patients with mycosis fungoides for up to 12 months (54 weeks). Funding Source: FDA OOPD.

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase II study combining pembrolizumab and mogamulizumab in patients with advanced-stage, relapsed or refractory CTCL Each cycle will equal 6 weeks. Pembrolizumab will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle. Mogamulizumab will be administered on Day 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1. For Cycle 2 and subsequent cycles, mogamulizumab will be administered on Day 1, 15 and 29 of each cycle. Subjects will undergo a response assessment prior to Cycle 3 and every 2 cycles thereafter. Subjects will continue study treatment until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or any other condition for discontinuation is met in protocol. A maximum of 2 years of study treatment may be administered. If a subject achieves a complete response (CR) per mSWAT criteria after 3 months of study treatment (2 cycles), they will continue study therapy for an additional 6 months (4 cycles). If a confirmed and persistent CR is met, they may discontinue study treatment and enter an observation period in protocol. Repeat disease evaluation is required prior to study therapy discontinuation. Subjects who progress during the observation period may be eligible for up to an additional 9 cycles (1 year) of pembrolizumab and mogamulizumab.

The hypotheses of this study are that single agent CPI-0209 will be safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced (stage IB-IVB) mycosis fungoides (MF)/Sézary syndrome (SS) who have had at least one prior systemic therapy, and that in these patients, CPI-0209 will demonstrate efficacy and be worth of further study.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of the human immune response to candidemia/invasive candidiasis as it relates to the cytokine interferon-gamma.

This clinical trial studies low- dose total skin electron therapy in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA mycosis fungoides that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Radiation therapy uses high energy electrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Rotisserie technique is a method in which the patient receives total skin electron therapy while standing on a rotating platform. Giving low dose total skin electron therapy using rotisserie technique may kill tumor cells, while having fewer side effects, and may allow therapy to be repeated in future if clinically indicated.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (MF) and presents as cutaneous patches, plaques, and tumors. Radiation therapy (RT) is a frequently pursued management option for CTCL, especially in patients with more advanced skin disease. Imiquimod stimulates a Th1 lymphocyte response with increased IL-2 and IFN-α, but also induces IFN-α, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6, and IL-8, thereby bridging both innate and adaptive immunity. Dosing of both radiotherapy (RT) and imiquimod are based on standard-of-care doses/frequencies for CTCL. The reason imiquimod topical is given for a week before giving RT is to prime innate immune activity for when RT is delivered. It is believed that this serves as an adjuvant for the CD8+ antitumor response generated by RT. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination local radiotherapy and topical imiquimod approach for the treatment of conventional (CD4+) MF.

Many children and young people are at risk of invasive fungal disease (IFD), such as those who have had a haematopoietic stem cell transplants, those with an immune deficiency or those who are prescribed immunosuppressive drugs, for example, corticosteroids. One type of mould that causes invasive fungal disease is called Aspergillus. There is currently no quick test which can tell us if someone has an invasive fungal disease caused by Aspergillus called Aspergillosis. It is a difficult condition to diagnose and the results from the tests that are involved take days or weeks to come back. These tests including a few different blood tests, a scan of the lungs (CT scans) and taking fluid from inside the lungs/airway. A new test for Aspergillosis is the lateral flow device (LFD) assay. This is a rapid test which gives a result within minutes. It involves testing a sample of the fluid from the lungs/airway. This fluid can be obtained as part of the routine investigations for Aspergillosis. It has been shown to be a good and safe test in adults but the investigators do not know if it will be a valuable test in children and young people yet. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the LFD test can effectively diagnose Aspergillosis in children and young people.

The objective of this registry is to broaden the knowledge on epidemiology, diagnostic procedures and clinical course of emerging invasive fungal infections.

The aim of this project is to test the utility of The Gene Z device (as of 2018 Gene Z no longer being used) and other rapid identification techniques that the investigators have developed in the lab on clinically obtained bodily fluid samples taken from patients with suspected infection or sepsis based on having three of four positive Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome markers, or having a known infection for which a specimen is being collected. Specimens will be collected by Sparrow Laboratories and McLaren Greater Lansing laboratories, processed and stored for analysis at a later date to determine if the microbial pathogens identified by current methods of culture, as well as pathogen susceptibility to antibiotics by culture results, can be identified by the GeneZ technology or other developed technology accurately, and more timely. It will not affect current patient care nor impact patient care, which will continue in the standard fashion today for sepsis. Results will be compared to standard culture results and antibiotic sensitivities.
