NCT ID NCT00748345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the antifungal medicine caspofungin is processed in the bodies of adults with serious burns. The goal was to find the best dose, since burns can change how drugs work. Only 2 people took part, so the results are very limited.
