Nasal antisepsis to prevent Candida auris
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nasal antiseptic can reduce or prevent Candida auris infections in people who have had this germ before. It aims to find a simple way to lower the risk of future infection.

This trial is testing a rapid test to detect Candida auris, a hard-to-treat fungus. You can join if your doctor suspects you have this infection or you're being checked for it on your skin, and your lab sample is grown on specific plates or broths.
This trial tests if a simple at-home treatment (using a nasal ointment and special body wash) before surgery can prevent staph infections at the surgical site. It's for adults having outpatient surgery in several specialties, like orthopedics or general surgery.
This trial tests a new nose spray called HY-133 to see if it's safe and can clear a common type of staph bacteria from the nose. It is for people who have this bacteria but not the antibiotic-resistant kind.
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
This trial tests whether applying a nasal ointment can reduce the risk of infections during radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It may help patients avoid treatment delays and complications.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and around rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) can lower the risk of infection. If you qualify, you may be randomized to receive antibiotic prevention or another approach to prevention.
