Antifungal and heat therapy for sporotrichosis
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing two treatments—antifungal medicine and a special heat lamp (infrared)—separately or together for sporotrichosis, a skin fungus. The goal is to find what works best with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two oral medications, fluconazole and itraconazole, to see which works better for treating ringworm that hasn't cleared up with topical creams. If you've had ringworm for at least 6 months despite using antifungal creams, this study may help find a more effective treatment.
This study compares two treatments for a common fungal skin infection called tinea (ringworm). One group gets itraconazole alone, the other gets itraconazole plus isotretinoin. The goal is to see which approach clears the infection faster, safer, and with a higher cure rate.
This trial tests different combinations and timing of antifungal medicines to treat histoplasmosis, a lung infection, in hospitalized patients. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to cure the infection.
This study tests a new type of injection treatment for stubborn ringworm (tinea) infections that haven't improved with standard pills or creams. It aims to see if this immunotherapy works better for hard-to-treat cases, especially when the fungus might be resistant to usual medicines.
This study compares two common antifungal pills, fluconazole and itraconazole, to see which works better for treating pityriasis versicolor, a skin condition that causes discolored patches. If you have this condition and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new antifungal treatment for people with certain fungal infections (Valley fever, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis) who have not done well on or can't take their current medicine. The goal is to find a better way to control the infection when the first treatment fails or causes problems.
