Active clinical trials for "Invasive Fungal Infections"

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of micafungin at a dose of 100 mg/day versus fluconzeole for the prevention of Invasive Fungal Disease, defined according to the revised EORTC/MSG criteria, undergoing living-donor liver transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to describe representative real-world patterns of care for the management of invasive fungal infections (IFIs), including invasive mold infection (IMI). Specifically, the study goals are to examine real world patient characteristics and treatment patterns, associated healthcare resource utilization, and outcomes associated with use of mold-active triazoles (MATs) to treat invasive fungal infections (IFIs).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous micafungin for the empirical antifungal therapy, pre-emptive antifungal therapy, diagnostic driven antifungal therapy or targeted antifungal therapy patients with invasive fungal infections caused by Candida sp. or Aspergillus sp. (fungemia, respiratory mycosis, gastrointestinal mycosis) in adult patients in China.

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.

Assessment of safety and efficacy of voriconazole in real-life setting in the treatment of high risk patients with invasive fungal infections. The study is conducted in Slovakia only.

This is a structured web-based survey in selected hospitals with intensive care units in Berlin- Brandenburg that will focus on the analysis of current knowledge in ICUs in the field of invasive mycoses.

Hema e-chart is an electronic case record that can be changed in real time and is based on the chronological organisation of the infective events and the therapies prescribed. It allows the collection of all personal, epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic data pertaining to the patient, processing it and analysing the results. Aims and objectives of the project The aims of this registry are: To assess how many suspected fungal-related febrile episodes identify an infective fungal agent To have a clear view of the diagnostic and therapeutic actions in the management of onco-haematological patients with suspected fungal-related febrile episodes To assess the impact of anti-fungal therapy on the timing of chemotherapy and transplant planning Perform drug-epidemiology relationship analyses, observe toxicity and interactions with antifungal therapies by means of the creation of a national database of fungal infections in patients affected by malignant haemopathies Design A multicentre, prospective registry for monitoring invasive fungal infections in onco-haematological patients Registration criteria: patients with newly diagnosed malignant haematological diseases (acute and chronic myeloid and lymphoid leukaemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma, aplastic anaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes), or patients who, as a result of onco-haematological pathologies, have undergone allogenic or autologous haematopoietic cell transplants, and have ongoing febrile episodes . The recording of consecutive febrile events is required Data collection for each individual patient will be performed according to the method shown in the enclosed flow chart. In the case of a new episode for an existing patient, said new episode will be recorded in the same case record as a new event. All collected data will be coded into the database Information relating to about 500 suspected fungal-related febrile events requiring antifungal therapy is expected to be collected from approximately 60 centres over the course of 18 months Data collection for each event may be performed following the provision of written informed consent, which will be obtained from each patient participating in this health survey The data collected will be handled and stored in full compliance with the Italian laws governing privacy Hema e-chart is a non-interventional registry

The purpose of this postmarketing surveillance study is to collect an extensive body of data in a large patient population in every day life to investigate the safety and efficacy of NOXAFIL® (posaconazole) in the treatment of invasive fungal disease.

This is a non-comparative, open, multisite prospective estimation study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of caspofungin in the prophylactic treatment of adults who have received an orthotopic liver transplant and are at high risk of developing an invasive fungal infection. It is expected that the proportion of high-risk liver transplant recipients who develop a documented (proven or probable per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group [EORTC/MSG] modified criteria) invasive fungal infection during the first 100 days after the onset of prophylaxis with caspofungin will be lower than 15%. It is also expected that the incidence of serious drug-related adverse events will be less than 25%.

20 patients admitted to the ICU department and receiving isavuconazole as part of standard care for the treatment of fungal infections will be included in the study. Between day 3 and 7, 8 samples will be collected at t = 0 (pre-dose), and t = 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours after end of infusion to obtain a PK curve. An optional, additional sample can be collected after discontinuation of isavuconazole therapy if possible. Total and free isavuconazole 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).
