Candida infections and antifungal resistance study
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how Candida infections form biofilms (protective coatings) and resist antifungal treatments. It may help find better ways to treat serious Candida infections in people with weakened immune systems or after medical procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a serious Candida infection that has spread inside your body.
- Your immune system is suppressed, either overall (due to illness or medication) or locally (due to injury or a medical procedure).
- Your infection is not getting better with standard antibiotics, and bacterial tests have been negative.
- You have not taken any antifungal medication in the 3 days before the study sample is collected.

This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit who have a new infection with Candida (a type of fungus) despite taking strong antibiotics. It aims to better understand and diagnose these serious infections.
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
This study looks at immune system differences that can make some people get unusual or frequent fungal (fungus) infections. It may help researchers better understand these conditions, and you may be asked to store blood for future research.
This trial studies two types of antifungal medicines (amphotericin B and azoles) to see which works better for people with invasive fungal disease. It aims to help doctors choose the safest and most effective treatment.
This study looks for fungal infections in hospitalized patients. It aims to understand how common serious fungal infections are, especially in people with weakened immune systems or certain medical conditions.
This study tests whether a short course of antifungal drugs changes the bacteria living in your gut. It is for healthy young men and aims to understand how common antifungal treatments affect the microbiome.
