NCT ID NCT04550936

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at medical records of 307 adults in five European countries who were treated with the antifungal drug isavuconazole for serious fungal infections (invasive aspergillosis or mucormycosis). Researchers tracked how well the drug worked (clinical, radiological, and lab responses) and any side effects over 24 weeks. Since this was an observational study, patients received standard care as decided by their doctors, and no extra drugs were provided.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Isavuconazole (Cresemba)

What this could lead to

If the results confirm isavuconazole is effective and safe in routine care, it could reinforce its use as a treatment option for these serious fungal infections.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. The results may be influenced by differences in patient care and underlying health conditions.
