Systemic mycosis

This phase 2 trial tests an experimental antifungal drug called olorofim in people with a severe, body-wide form of Valley Fever (disseminated coccidioidomycosis) that has not responded to standard treatments. The study also evaluates new questionnaires about symptoms and quality…

This study will test hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) — breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber — for over 30 conditions, including long COVID, Crohn's disease, frostbite, and multiple sclerosis. Researchers will track 100 patients to see if HBOT improves their quality of …

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 tests if a single high dose of an antifungal drug works better than the standard daily dose for treating moderate to severe histoplasmosis, a serious lung infection. It also compares a newer oral drug to the standard one, and checks if 6 months of treatment is as good …

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 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 is testing whether a blood test called metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can accurately diagnose invasive fungal disease in people with blood cancers. These patients are at high risk for such infections, which are often hard to detect and can become severe.…

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 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 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 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…
