124 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the association of early Candida infection (known as oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis, OPC) in children during the first year of life with the onset and severity of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Fosmanogepix) for the potential treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis, a life-threatening fungal infection caused by several species of yeast called Candida. The study is seeking patients who have a diagnosis of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis. Two-thirds of all patients will receive the study medication fosmanogepix Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fosmanogepix tablets. One-third of all patients will receive a standard of care regimen of caspofungin Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fluconazole capsules. Fosmanogepix or caspofungin will first be given as an Intravenous (IV) infusion directly into a vein in the arm each day at the study clinic. Fosmanogepix tablets or fluconazole capsules will be taken orally by mouth daily either at the study clinic, or at home if patients are well enough to be discharged from the hospital. The treatment effect in patients receiving fosmanogepix to those receiving caspofungin/ fluconazole will be compared. The primary aim is to show that fosmanogepix is not inferior (not worse) to caspofungin/ fluconazole with a noninferiority margin of 15%. The duration of study treatment and number of study visits will vary depending on how long the patient will be treated for the infection. Treatment will continue for a maximum of 6 weeks depending on when the infection is cleared and whether other symptoms related to the infection have improved. There will also be a follow-up visit 6 weeks after the study treatment was stopped.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Ibrexafungerp (SCY-078) compared to placebo in female subjects 12 years and older with AVVC.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study intended to assess the safety, tolerability and humoral and cellular immune response over a 12-month period after receiving one dose of either the NDV-3A vaccine, NDV-3 vaccine, or placebo. In addition, the clinical efficacy of NDV-3A vaccine in lowering the recurrence rate of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in patients with recurrent VVC (RVVC) will be evaluated relative to placebo.
C. dubliniensis has been identified as pathogen in Oropharyngeal Candidiasis(OPC)particularly among HIV patients. Azole therapy is a cornerstone in OPC, but resistance within C. dubliniensis isolates to diflucan is common.This is a prospective collection of biological specimens from oropharyngeal cavity with the purpose of determining the prevalence of C. dubliniensis in HIV/AIDS patients at the Duval County Department of Health Comprehensive care Center. It is hereto proposed an estimation of azole-resistance in these isolates.
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of isavuconazole versus caspofungin followed by voriconazole in the treatment of candidemia and other invasive Candida infections.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical cure of miconazole Lauriad 50 mg (1x50mg) Bioadhesive buccal tablets compared with clotrimazole troches (5x10mg) after 14 days of treatment (at the test of cure visit, at Day 17-19).
The purpose of this study is to determine the changing patterns of infection caused by Candida species in urban medical centers and its influence on patient outcomes. A retrospective cohort study design will be employed with the main outcome measure being hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes including microbiologic clearance of the infection, duration of hospitalization, and the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay will also be assessed.
This observational study evaluated the performance of new lab tests in detecting candida species fungal infections in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants quickly and accurately. 19 NICHD Neonatal Research Network sites enrolled 1,500 infants with birth weights ≤1,000g; 100 of these infants later tested positive for candidiasis. Blood, urine, and lumbar puncture samples were collected whenever other specimens were obtained from participants for cultures. These samples are being tested using the new methods and compared with standard culture results. Surviving study subjects completed a neurodevelopmental evaluation at 18-22 months corrected age.
This study will examine whether the anti-fungal drug caspofungin can prevent Candida infections in adult patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Caspofungin is approved to treat certain fungal infections, including fungal blood stream infections due to Candida. Because ICU patients are at high risk for Candida, it would be beneficial to have a preventive drug, thereby reducing complications due to infection. Patients 18 years of age or older who are not pregnant may be enrolled in this study on day 3 or 4 of their ICU admission if they have an expected stay of at least 2 additional days in the ICU. Participants are randomly assigned to treatment with either caspofungin or placebo (an inactive substance). Before treatment, patients have a medical history and physical examination. Blood and urine tests are done for routine tests and to look for fungal infection. Additional samples that may be collected to test for fungal infection include a rectal swab or stool sample; a wound culture if the patient has a wound, or a sputum culture in patients who have a tube in their throat to help with breathing or are producing sputum. Patients take caspofungin or placebo once a day for no more than 28 days. In addition, they undergo the following procedures: * Review of treatment side effects and medicines taken, daily during treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment * Physical examination once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment * Urine test once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment to look for possible fungal infection * Blood tests twice a week, on the last day of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment for laboratory safety tests and to look for fungal infection * Collection of additional samples (rectal swab or stool sample, wound culture, or sputum sample) once a week, on the last day of treatment, and 1 week after treatment to look for possible fungal infection
Anidulafungin is a medicine being developed for treatment of patients with certain kinds of fungal infections. These infections due to yeast (a type of fungus) in the mouth/esophagus, in the blood or in other areas within the body.
This study will treat subjects with complicated VVC who have failed prior fluconazole therapy with Ibrexafungerp for 1, 3 or 7 days of treatment.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of the human immune response to candidemia/invasive candidiasis as it relates to the cytokine interferon-gamma.
This study is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibrexafungerp (formerly "SCY-078") compared to placebo in female subjects 12 years and older with recurrent VVC (RVVC).

The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis when compared to caspofungin (followed by optional oral fluconazole).
Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), also known as recurrent yeast infections, is defined as at least 3 episodes of acute VVC in the past 12 months. Several properties of oteseconazole (VT-1161) suggest that it might be a safer and more effective treatment for RVVC than other oral anti-fungal medicines. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oteseconazole (VT-1161) for the treatment of RVVC and consists of 2 parts. The first part of the study is a 2-week period for the treatment of the patient's current VVC episode with 3 150mg doses of fluconazole. The 2nd part consists of 12 weeks, when the patient will take either oteseconazole (VT-1161) 150 mg or a placebo (according to a random assignment), and then a 36-week follow-up period. In addition, at participating sites, an amendment to the study allows US patients who complete the initial 48 weeks without experiencing a confirmed RVVC episode to continue in a 48-week observational extension period designed to evaluate the continued effectiveness of oteseconazole (VT-1161). This study is identical to VMT-VT-1161-CL-012 (NCT03561701).

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-comparator, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (pharmacokinetics) of oral SCY-078 as an emergency use treatment for patients with a documented Candida auris infection.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, dose-finding study to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral SCY-078 versus oral fluconazole in adult female subjects 18 years and older with moderate to severe Acute Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (AVVC). Approximately 180 eligible subjects (30 subjects per treatment group) will be enrolled and randomized into the study.
This is a single-center, open-label, pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of 14 days of CAMB dosing in subjects with fluconazole-resistant vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
This is a multi-center, randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 200 mg CAMB and 400 mg CAMB compared with a single 150 mg dose of fluconazole in the treatment of moderate to severe VVC.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous CD101 is safe and effective in the treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis when compared to caspofungin (followed by oral fluconazole).
VT-1161 is a novel, oral inhibitor of fungal lanosterol demethylase (CYP51). In vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies have demonstrated that VT-1161 is highly active against Candida albicans and also non-albicans Candida species that cause vulvovaginal candidiasis. VT-1161 is highly selective for fungal CYP51, and data suggests that it may avoid the side-effect profile that limits the use of commonly prescribed antifungal agents for the treatment of recurrent yeast infections.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the novel oral agent VT-1161 is safe and effective in treating patients with acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (also referred to as yeast infection). VT-1161 has been designed to inhibit CYP51, an enzyme essential for fungal growth. Inhibition of CYP51 results in the accumulation of chemicals know to be toxic to the fungus. CYP51 is the molecular target of the class of drugs referred to as 'azole antifungals'. All currently approved azole drugs have poor selectivity for CYP51 and this results in many of the side effects associated with the azole antifungals. The safety profile of the class similarly limits use in chronic treatment of non-life-threatening fungal infections. VT-1161 has been design to be safer and more active against the fungal species typically responsible for vaginal yeast infections (i.e. vulvovaginal candidiasis).
The study will evaluate how effective and how safe the drug micafungin is when compared to the drug amphotericin B deoxycholate in treating neonates and young infants with certain fungal infections.
The most common etiology of infection-related death or neurodevelopmental impairment in neonates with birthweight \<750 g is invasive candidiasis. Over 70% of the premature neonates who develop invasive candidiasis will die or suffer severe, permanent neurologic impairment. Fluconazole has been commonly used off-label in the neonatal intensive care unit, but definitive recommendations for its use in the nursery have been hampered by the limited number of well-designed trials. In neonates weighing \<750 g, appropriate dosing is not known, definitive safety and long-term follow up trials have not been completed, and there have not been well-powered trials conducted to establish the efficacy of the product using mortality as part of the primary endpoint. Three recent proof-of-concept studies suggest that fluconazole will be safe and effective, and a recently completed pharmacokinetic study is providing data to give preliminary dosing guidance. The next logical step in drug development is proposed by this research: to conduct a pivotal trial to determine the safety and efficacy of fluconazole in premature neonates with 2-year neurodevelopmental follow-up assessment. 362 neonates, with a birthweight \<750g, were randomized at 33 US centers, to twice weekly fluconazole (6 mg/kg) or placebo for the first 6 weeks of life. The primary efficacy endpoint will be Candida-free survival at study day 49. The research will establish definitive dosing, safety, and efficacy of fluconazole; it will also provide critical information on the effects of fluconazole on neurodevelopmental impairment and antifungal resistance. Potential Impact: Approximately 17,000 neonates are born \<750 grams each year in the United States. Over 5000 will die or develop invasive Candida infections. Demonstrating safety and efficacy of fluconazole in preterm neonates will improve the survivability and long term outcomes for these neonates.
Adults admitted to intensive care units are at risk for a variety of complications. Infections due to the fungus called candida are of particular concern. The study will test the possibility that caspofungin, a new therapy for fungal infections, can successfully reduce the rate of candida infections in subjects at risk. It will also test if caspofungin is useful in treating subjects for this disease when diagnosed using a new blood test that is performed twice weekly, permitting earlier diagnosis than current practice standards.
