fluconazole and Myelodysplastic Syndromes

fluconazole has been researched along with Myelodysplastic Syndromes in 24 studies

Fluconazole: Triazole antifungal agent that is used to treat oropharyngeal CANDIDIASIS and cryptococcal MENINGITIS in AIDS.
fluconazole : A member of the class of triazoles that is propan-2-ol substituted at position 1 and 3 by 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl groups and at position 2 by a 2,4-difluorophenyl group. It is an antifungal drug used for the treatment of mucosal candidiasis and for systemic infections including systemic candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

Trial Outcomes

Efficacy of Primary Prophylaxis With Nebulized Abelcet® on the Incidence of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

The incidence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis during the Abelcet® prophylactic treatment period was assessed by the relation between the number of patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the number of paediatric patients on prophylaxis with Acute Leukaemia (AL) undergoing intensive chemotherapy. (NCT01615809)
Timeframe: at the Baseline visit (week 1) and at the end of the profilaxis treatment phase, up to 6 weeks

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Amphotericin B (ABELCET®)3

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis -Related Mortality During Primary Prophylaxis With Abelcet®.

Percentage of deaths related to Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis during the prophylactic treatment period with Abelcet® in paediatric patients with Acute Leukaemia undergoing intensive chemotherapy. (NCT01615809)
Timeframe: at the Baseline visit (week 1) and at the end of the profilaxis treatment phase, up to 6 weeks

Interventionpercentage of deaths (Number)
Amphotericin B (ABELCET®)0

Number of Participants With Adverse Events That Results in the Interruption of Treatment, as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

is assessed by the proportion of patients who discontinue prophylactic treatment with Abelcet® due to an adverse event that is related or not to the study drug or for intolerability to it. The last week of treatment will have a different calendar for each participant, depending on the number of cicles needed by each patient (it has been anticipated up to 5 cicles of 2-6 weeks each). (NCT01615809)
Timeframe: at the Baseline visit (week 1) and during the Last week of treatment, up to 6 weeks

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Amphotericin B (ABELCET®)0
