New hope for HIV patients: shorter, stronger fungal infection treatment on trial

NCT ID NCT06525389

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

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 (flucytosine) helps. The trial will include 428 adults with HIV and confirmed talaromycosis. The goal is to find a more effective and simpler treatment to reduce deaths and complications.
