NCT ID NCT03774316

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether it is safe to reduce or stop antifungal drugs early in immunocompromised patients in the ICU who are being treated for a suspected candida infection. Researchers tracked 275 patients across 14 ICUs to see how often treatment was reduced and what factors made that possible. The goal was to understand if de-escalation can lower side effects, drug resistance, and costs without harming patients.
