Can immune monitoring unlock better treatments for deadly mold infections?
NCT ID NCT06285188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study monitors the immune system of 20 adults with serious mold infections (like Aspergillus) to see how their T cells respond. The goal is to find out which patients might benefit from adding immunotherapy to standard antifungal drugs. Researchers will measure immune checkpoint molecules on T cells over time. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
