Fungal infectious disease

This study tests a new medicine called fosmanogepix for adults with serious mold infections that are hard to treat. About 234 people will join, receiving either the new drug or standard care. The main goal is to see if fewer people die by day 42. The study is currently recruiting…

This Phase 3 trial tests a new drug called fosmanogepix against standard treatments for life-threatening Candida bloodstream or organ infections. About 450 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either fosmanogepix (first by IV, then as a pill) or the usual IV caspofungin fo…

This phase III trial is testing whether a single high dose (10 mg/kg) of liposomal amphotericin B can safely and effectively treat disseminated histoplasmosis, a serious fungal infection, in adults with AIDS. The standard treatment requires two weeks of daily infusions. The study…

This study tests whether using a patient's genetic profile to dose the antifungal drug voriconazole can help more patients reach the right drug levels faster. It will enroll 104 children and adults with blood cancer who have a fungal infection. Participants are randomly assigned …

This study tests a special hydrogel patch applied daily to toenails for three months. It is designed for people with nail fragility, fungal infections, or nail psoriasis. The trial includes 72 adults and compares the active patch to a placebo to see if it safely improves nail hea…

This study looks at whether liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) can safely treat breakthrough fungal infections in children and teens with blood cancers who are already on antifungal prevention. About 38 participants will receive the drug as part of their regular care, and resear…

This study tests whether a genetic test can help decide which leukemia patients need a strong antifungal drug (posaconazole) to prevent serious mold infections during chemotherapy. About 410 adults with acute myeloid leukemia will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or a pla…

This study will test a new diagnostic device called the Nanopath assay, which aims to quickly detect bacteria or yeast causing vaginitis. Up to 1000 women with symptoms like itching or discharge will provide vaginal swab samples, either collected by a clinician or themselves. The…

This study aims to create and test a clinical prediction score called FUNGAL-P to help doctors identify fungal pneumonia early in adults who come to the hospital with pneumonia. Researchers will analyze medical records from past patients and then test the score on new patients to…

This study is testing whether a blood test called Karius Spectrum can help doctors find infections faster in adults with weakened immune systems (e.g., organ transplant recipients, cancer patients). The test looks for DNA from bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites in the blood.…

This study screens up to 2,000 people who have or may have immune disorders that make them prone to infections, along with their healthy relatives. Researchers will use medical history, physical exams, blood tests, and genetic testing to better understand these conditions. The go…

This study investigates the types of fungi present in lung tissue from people with non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will compare fungal communities across different tumor subtypes, stages, and patient outcomes to see if they relate to how the disease progresses. The goal i…

This study aims to understand why some people get severe or unusual fungal infections due to immune system problems. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and other samples from up to 1,200 participants over 25 years. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to learn mor…

This study aims to understand why some people are more prone to fungal infections, especially from Candida yeast. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, urine, and tissue samples from people with immune disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers. No treatment is giv…

This study is testing a new rapid diagnostic device called In-Dx to quickly identify infections and antibiotic resistance in emergency patients with suspected sepsis. Researchers will compare the device's results to standard lab cultures using stored samples from 2,500 patients. …

This study aims to collect blood and saliva samples from 2000 adults who come to the emergency room with a suspected respiratory infection. Researchers will use these samples to better understand how the body responds to infections and to find new ways to diagnose and treat them.…

This study looks at how different menstrual products—tampons, cups, and pads—affect the bacteria and immune cells in the vagina. Researchers will collect samples from 300 women aged 18-49 to compare these groups. The goal is to understand if internal products like tampons and cup…

This study looks at how the antifungal medicine caspofungin behaves in children with severe infections, especially those with liver problems or on life support like ECMO. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand dosing needs. About 60 children in intensive …

This study examines whether chest CT scans can help predict how patients with a rare but severe lung fungal infection called pulmonary mucormycosis will fare. Researchers will review scans from 80 patients treated at a French hospital to identify imaging patterns linked to better…

This study is creating a data bank to better understand vaginal conditions like vulvodynia, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and preterm labor. Researchers will look at proteins, immune markers, and vaginal bacteria in 550 women, including healthy volunteers and those with …
