Opportunistic systemic mycosis

This study tests a drug called Sintilimab, which is normally used for cancer, to see if it can help people with HIV who have infections that won't go away with standard treatment. The drug works by 'waking up' exhausted immune cells. Fifty adults with HIV and a hard-to-treat infe…

This study looks at whether the drug amphotericin B can treat serious fungal infections that break through in people with blood cancers who are already taking antifungal prevention. About 15 adults will receive the drug for 4-6 weeks and be closely monitored. The goal is to see h…

This study compares two common antibiotic combinations—vancomycin with piperacillin/tazobactam versus vancomycin with meropenem—to see which is less harmful to the kidneys. About 852 hospitalized adults with serious infections will be randomly assigned to one of the two combos. T…

This study tests two new ways to treat talaromycosis, a serious fungal infection in people with HIV. It compares a single high dose of a newer antifungal drug (liposomal amphotericin B) against two weeks of the standard drug, and also checks if adding another medicine (flucytosin…

This study tests whether a short course of the steroid prednisolone can prevent paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in people with AIDS who have low CD4 counts and are starting HIV treatment. About 131 participants will receive either prednisolone or no…

This observational study will look at 10,000 adults in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world during a single 24-hour period. Researchers want to find out how common infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are, how they are treated, and how patients recover. No new tre…

This study will observe 120 solid organ transplant recipients who have invasive fungal infections. Researchers will track how well the drug liposomal amphotericin B works and its side effects, compared to historical patients who received other antifungal treatments. The goal is t…

This research project aims to understand why older adults get more infections and why those infections can be more serious. By following 23,000 people aged 60 and older, scientists will collect health data and samples like blood and stool to study how the immune system changes wi…

This study will look at how the antifungal drug liposomal amphotericin B behaves in 10 critically ill patients with severe fungal infections who are also receiving plasma exchange therapy. The goal is to understand how plasma exchange changes drug levels in the body, which could …

This study will collect blood samples from 30,000 adults in the UK with various health conditions, including blood clots, infections, heart disease, diabetes, and more. The samples will be used to develop and fine-tune new diagnostic tests for the cobas® lumira device, which allo…

This study will follow 300 adults with severe infections in the ICU to see how levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)—natural molecules that help stop inflammation—change over time. Researchers will use blood samples already collected during routine care, so no extr…

This study will look at Candida fungi from 300 patients in a hematology ICU. Researchers want to see how often these fungi form biofilms (slimy layers that protect them) and whether that makes them resistant to antifungal drugs. The goal is to learn which Candida types are most c…
