High-Risk Neutropenic Fever and Invasive Fungal Diseases in Patients with Hematological Malignancies [PDF]
Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) still represent a relevant cause of mortality in patients affected by hematological malignancies, especially acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing remission induction chemotherapy, and

The Antifungal Pipeline: Fosmanogepix, Ibrexafungerp, Olorofim, Opelconazole, and Rezafungin [PDF]
The epidemiology of invasive fungal infections is changing, with new populations at risk and the emergence of resistance caused by the selective pressure from increased usage of antifungal agents in prophylaxis, empiric therapy, and agriculture. Limited antifungal therapeutic options are further challenged by drug-drug interactions, toxicity, and ...

P-1238. Assessment of Body Weight upon PK of Olorofim in Patients with Invasive Mould Infections [PDF]
Abstract Background Olorofim (OLO) is a novel antifungal active vs. Aspergillus (including azole-resistant strains), resistant moulds (e.g., Lomentospora prolificans [LoPro]), and dimorphic moulds. Potential impact of bodyweight upon systemic exposure was explored using pharmacokinetic (PK) data from ...

An update on the development of novel antifungal agents for eumycetoma [PDF]
Eumycetoma, a chronic subcutaneous mycosis, responds poorly to the available antifungal treatments and patients often require extensive surgical resection or amputation of the affected limb. More effective treatments are needed for eumycetoma.

The fungal expel of 5-fluorocytosine derived fluoropyrimidines mitigates its antifungal activity and generates a cytotoxic environment [PDF]
Invasive aspergillosis remains one of the most devastating fungal diseases and is predominantly linked to infections caused by the opportunistic human mold pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.

Antifungal resistance, combinations and pipeline: oh my!
Invasive fungal infections are a strong contributor to healthcare costs, morbidity and mortality, especially amongst hospitalized patients. Historically, Candida was responsible for approximately 15% of all nosocomial bloodstream infections.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis Caused by Non-fumigatus Aspergillus spp. [PDF]
With increasing frequency, clinical and laboratory-based mycologists are consulted on invasive fungal diseases caused by rare fungal species. This review aims to give an overview of the management of invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by non-fumigatus ...
