Study on fungal infection prevention with liposomal amphotericin B
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial looks at how a specific antifungal medicine, called liposomal amphotericin B, given over a longer period, helps prevent serious fungal infections in people undergoing treatment for cancer or receiving a stem cell transplant. It may be an option if you are at high risk for these infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are receiving chemotherapy (either for the first time or for a relapse) or a stem cell transplant from a donor (allo-HSCT).
- You have not had a previous fungal infection that required treatment (this is for primary prevention, not secondary).
- You have no known allergies or other reasons why you cannot take liposomal amphotericin B.
- You are considered at high risk for developing a serious fungal infection.

This trial tests whether amphotericin B can treat new fungal infections that develop in people with blood cancers even after they have taken preventive antifungal medicine. It may help patients who have a confirmed or suspected fungal infection while on that prevention.
This trial tests a low dose of an antifungal medicine (liposomal amphotericin B) to prevent fungal infections in patients whose white blood cell counts are very low for more than a week. It may help patients who are at high risk for fungal infections and cannot take other antifungal drugs.
This trial tests a low dose of an antifungal medicine (liposomal amphotericin B) to prevent serious fungal infections in children whose immune system is weak after cancer treatment or a stem cell transplant. It's for kids aged 3 to 17 who are at high risk for these infections.
This study looks at how a medicine called L-AmB (a type of amphotericin B, used to treat fungal infections) works in patients who are on ECMO. The goal is to find the right dose for people in your situation.
This trial tests a combination of antifungal medicines (liposomal amphotericin B and either isavuconazole or posaconazole) for people with blood cancers who develop a fungal infection despite taking preventive antifungal drugs. It aims to find a better treatment for these difficult infections.
This study looks at how the body processes the antifungal medicine liposomal amphotericin B in people who are also having plasma exchange (a blood-filtering procedure). The goal is to understand if dosing needs to be adjusted when both treatments are used together.
