Active clinical trials for "Invasive Fungal Infections"

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

30 pediatric patients aged 2-18 years receiving fluconazole as part of standard care for the treatment or prophylaxis of an invasive fungal infection will be included in the study. Between day 2 and 10, 6 samples will be collected on two days. In the case a patient switches from oral to intravenous therapy, an additional PK-day consisting of 3 samples will be scheduled. Fluconazole plasma concentrations will be determined. A pharmacokinetic model will be fitted to the data from all individuals simultaneously. Data will be analysed using non-linear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM). Monte Carlo simulations will guide the establishment of an improved fluconazole dosing regimen for pediatric and adolescent patients.

In order to better guide clinical medication, verify the efficacy and safety of ABCD in the treatment of various invasive fungal disease, the investigators have designed a multi-center, retrospective registration study. Diagnosis and treatment data for patients with different types of invasive fungal disease in clinical actual environment was collapsed by a database for collaborative exchange on antifungal research.

This work aims to: Validate the performance of CRP, and PCT in early differentiating IFI from bacterial bloodstream infections. Compare the results of CRP and PCT with the results of β-D- glucan. 3. Find the relationship between biomarkers levels [CRP, PCT and β-D- glucan] and the results of blood culture which is the gold standard of diagnosis.

Although lacking strong evidences, plasma transfusions are commonly used in critically ill neonates. To date, the relationships between plasma transfusions and nosocomial infection remain controversial and no study has reported the relationships between plasma transfusion and invasive fungal infection (IFI)

This study is being performed to see if 18F-FDS is a useful imaging agent for diagnosis of bacterial infections. Position Emission Tomography / computed tomography (CT) scans will be obtained after intravenous injection of 18F-FDS to determine biodistribution and pathophysiology in diseased subjects.

This study will establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach and evaluate clinical outcomes for children at high-risk for pulmonary invasive fungal infection (PIFI).

The goal of this national multicenter prospective cohort study is to learn about the added value of 18F-FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose) PET-CT in invasive fungal disease management. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of 18F-FDG PET-CT allow a better characterization of invasive fungal infection (IFI) (performance) compared to the exclusive use of conventional radiological studies in terms of extension/staging and monitoring of response/follow-up ? Does the systematic and protocolized use of 18F-FDG PET-CT in IFI allow a better management of patients with IFI and increase the prognostic value of the initial evaluation? Participants will undergo systematically a 18F-FDG PET-CT as part of the work-up of their invasive fungal disease. Researchers will compare the performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT with standard management without 18F-FDG PET-CT to see if adds value (diagnostic, prognostic, and changes in management).

The purpose of this study is to identify the number of individuals with severe CoVID who require ventilator support and who develop serious fungal infections. The study is an observational study, meaning that we are not providing any intervention that does not involve usual standard of care. Our chief goal is to find evidence of fungal infection by using traditional, approved methods of diagnosis, but by applying these methods in the same way and frequency among all study participants. We will be looking especially for evidence of a fungal infection known as Aspergillus, which can causes a serious lung infection called invasive aspergillosis (IA).

The study aims to evaluate incidence of invasive antifungal infections among patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Ph negative during the first weeks of treatment
