NCT ID NCT06666322

Summary

This large clinical trial aims to find better treatments for cryptococcal meningitis, a severe and often fatal brain infection that primarily affects people living with HIV. It will test multiple new or improved antifungal drug combinations in up to 2000 participants, comparing them to current standard treatments. The goal is to find regimens that are more effective, less toxic, and more widely available, especially in regions hardest hit by this disease.
