| New Indication | NCT04495608 ↗ | Fluconazole in Hypercalciuric Patients With Increased 1,25(OH)2D Levels | Recruiting | Hospices Civils de Lyon | Phase 2 | 2021-01-13 | Hypercalciuria is one of the most frequent metabolic disorders associated with nephrolithiasis and/or nephrocalcinosis leading to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and bone complications in adults. Hypercalciuria can be secondary to increased intestinal absorption and/or increased renal distal tubular reabsorption of calcium due to increased active vitamin D, i.e. 1,25(OH)2D, levels. The management of hypercalciuria is challenging. Classic management based on hyperhydration and dietary advice has low impact on calciuria and therefore on CKD progression. Other strategies such as hydrochlorothiazide can be proposed, however with an uncertain medical benefit in view of side effects (hypokalemia, asthenia, potential cutaneous long-term side effects). Azoles are known to inhibit the 1α-hydroxylase and therefore decrease 1,25(OH)2D levels. These antifungal drugs are commonly used in neonates, infants and adults; pharmacokinetic data are well described. Recently, to improve azoles tolerance, fluconazole has been successfully reported to reduce calciuria in patients with CYP24A1 mutation (1 adult) or NPTIIc mutations (1 child), while maintaining a stable renal function. Based on these observations, the investigators hypothesize that fluconazole is effective to decrease and normalize calciuria in patients with hypercalciuria and increased 1,25(OH)2D levels. The primary objective is to demonstrate that fluconazole normalizes or decreases calciuria after 4 months of treatment in patients with hypercalciuria and increased 1,25(OH)2D levels. The secondary objectives aim to describe: - the effects of fluconazole on the evolution over time of the calcium/phosphate metabolism, - the evolution of renal function, - the cohort at Baseline and after 4 months of treatment period, - the safety of fluconazole, - the onset of potential mycological resistances, - and the treatment compliance. This is a prospective, interventional, national, randomized in 2 parallel groups (1:1), controlled versus placebo, double blind trial. This study will involve patients between 10 and 50 years of age suffering from nephrolithiasis and/or nephrocalcinosis with hypercalciuria (> 0.1 mmol/kg/d) and increased 1,25 (OH)2D levels (≥ 150 pmol/l) and 25-OH-D levels (≥50 nmol/L). FLUCOLITH study is a unique opportunity to develop a new indication of a well-known and not expensive drug (e.g. fluconazole) in rare renal diseases, the ultimate objective being the secondary prevention of CKD worsening in these patients. If the results of this proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial are positive, the investigators will propose an extension phase to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of fluconazole on renal and bone parameters. |
| OTC | NCT05059145 ↗ | A Clinical Trial for Chlorhexidine as Treatment for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis | Not yet recruiting | Karolinska Institutet | Phase 2 | 2021-10-01 | The overall aim of this study is to investigate if vaginally applied 1% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) could be an alternative treatment to oral fluconazole (FLZ), both during an acute episode and as prophylaxis, against recurrent infections of vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). RVVC is very common in fertile women. Up to six months of treatment with FLZ is recommended for RVVC. Over the last ten years, the use of FLZ has increased markedly in many countries. No major problems have been noted with resistance development, but there is concern that this will occur in the future and alternative treatments are requested. In recent years, it has emerged that flukonazol interacts with several different types of drugs that are common in the patient group; several antidepressants, pain relief at dysmenorrhea (NSAID) and oral contraceptives to name a few. In Sweden an over-the-counter vaginal cream consisting of 1% chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibitane®) is available with the indication antiseptic use in vaginal examinations, especially during childbirth. The product has been used for a long time in various gynecological and obstetric surgical procedures. Hibitane® is approved during pregnancy and the cream is usually well tolerated. Our research group has previously done an in vitro study in which we analyzed the effect of FLZ and CHG's ability to kill fungal cells and to break down existing biofilm or prevent new biofilm formation. The biofilm formation is an important stage for the fungal cells to attach to surfaces such as skin and mucosa and is considered a first step in the development of an infection. In the biofilm, the fungus can hide from the immune system and also to some extent for various treatments aimed against the fungus. The results of the study showed that CHG was better than FLZ both at killing the fungal cells and preventing new biofilm from forming and dissolving already established "old" biofilm. This effect is absolutely crucial for successful treatment with antimycotics. These encouraging results form the basis of the planned study. If CHG is at least as effective as FLZ with little impact on vaginal lactobacillus, with high tolerability and without cytotoxic effect on epithelial cells, the results of the study might lead to major benefits to the patients with reduced risk of systemic side effects such as drug interactions, development of drug resistance and reduced drug costs. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00000627 ↗ | Pilot Study to Determine the Feasibility of Fluconazole for Induction Treatment and Suppression of Relapse of Histoplasmosis in Patients With the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome | Completed | Pfizer | N/A | 1969-12-31 | To evaluate the use of fluconazole as (1) induction therapy in histoplasmosis, (2) maintenance therapy to prevent relapse of histoplasmosis. Histoplasmosis is a serious opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal agent that has been used successfully in the treatment of experimental histoplasmosis in animals, but has not been completely evaluated in patients for this use. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for certain other fungal infections. Nevertheless, physicians are prescribing it to their patients with histoplasmosis. This is a pilot study to examine the role of fluconazole for treating histoplasmosis in AIDS patients. |

| NCT00000639 ↗ | A Randomized Double Blind Protocol Comparing Amphotericin B With Flucytosine to Amphotericin B Alone Followed by a Comparison of Fluconazole and Itraconazole in the Treatment of Acute Cryptococcal Meningitis | Completed | Washington University School of Medicine | N/A | 1969-12-31 | To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of amphotericin B plus flucytosine (5-fluorocytosine) compared to amphotericin B alone for a first episode of acute cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS patients, and to compare the effectiveness and safety of fluconazole versus itraconazole. At least 10 percent of patients with a low CD4 count and HIV infection will develop meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans. More effective treatments than the standard therapy need to be explored. |

| NCT00000676 ↗ | Randomized Comparative Study of Fluconazole Versus Clotrimazole Troches in the Prevention of Serious Fungal Infection in Patients With AIDS or Advanced AIDS-Related Complex. (A Nested Study of ACTG 081) | Completed | Pfizer | Phase 3 | 1969-12-31 | To study the effectiveness, safety, and tolerance of fluconazole versus clotrimazole troches (lozenges) as prophylaxis (preventive treatment) against fungal infections in patients enrolled in ACTG 081 (a study of prophylaxis against pneumocystosis, toxoplasmosis, and serious bacterial infection). Primarily, to compare the rates of invasive infections by C. neoformans, endemic mycoses, and Candida. To compare the mortality rates due to fungal infections between two antifungal prophylactic treatments. Secondarily, to assess the effect of prophylaxis on the incidence of severe fungal infections, defined as invasive infections and esophageal candidiasis and less severe mucocutaneous infection. Serious fungal infections are significant complicating and life-threatening occurrences in patients with advanced HIV infection. Oropharyngeal candidiasis is found in almost all such patients, and causes pain, difficulty in swallowing, and loss of appetite. Similarly, esophageal candidiasis causes illness in the population. Cryptococcosis, endemic mycoses, and coccidioidomycosis also cause significant illness and death in AIDS patients. Once established, fungal infections in AIDS patients generally require continuous suppressive therapy because attempts at curing these infections are usually unsuccessful. Fluconazole has a number of characteristics that would make it a logical candidate to examine as a prophylactic agent in patients with advanced HIV infection. Animal studies have shown it to be prophylactic in models of candidiasis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis. Initial experience in patients with active cryptococcal meningitis appears favorable, and studies of oropharyngeal candidiasis show it to be effective. |

| NCT00000708 ↗ | Multi-center Comparison of Fluconazole (UK-49,858) and Amphotericin B as Treatment for Acute Cryptococcal Meningitis | Completed | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | N/A | 1969-12-31 | To compare the safety and effectiveness of fluconazole (FCZ) and amphotericin B (AMB), alone or in combination with flucytosine (FLC), as treatment for acute cryptococcal meningitis in patients who have not been treated previously or who have relapsed after a previous successful treatment. Cryptococcal meningitis is an important cause of disease and death among patients with AIDS. Usually AMB is given either alone or with FLC to patients with this infection, but these treatments are not always effective and both have toxic effects. Animal studies and preliminary studies in humans show that FCZ is active in cryptococcal meningitis and suggest that it may be less toxic than either AMB or FLC. |
