Olorofim for early Valley fever meningitis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new drug called olorofim for people recently diagnosed with coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) meningitis, a serious fungal infection of the brain lining. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective as an early treatment.
