October 18, 2024 updated by: Astellas Pharma Singapore Pte. Ltd.

Non-interventional Study on the Safety and Efficacy for Prevention and Treatment of Fungal Infections in Paediatric Patients in Asia/Oceania - ERADICATE Study

The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of micafungin when prescribed for prophylaxis or treatment of fungal infections in different real-world clinical conditions and centers, in pediatric patients in Asia/Oceania.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will collect safety and efficacy data from pediatric patients who are prescribed intravenous micafungin for prophylaxis. During this trial, patients with two separate indications will be treated. The first, Invasive candidiasis will have a minimum treatment of 2 weeks. The second, Oesophageal candidiasis will have a minimum treatment of 1 week. Both indications will have a follow-up period of 4 weeks after treatment.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Paediatric patients for whom micafungin is prescribed for prophylaxis or treatment of fungal infections

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Prescribed micafungin for prophylaxis or treatment of fungal infections.

According to treatment guidelines, micafungin may not be a suitable treatment for the following patients:

  • The patient has evidence of impaired liver function: alanine aminotransferase (AST), aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) >5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin >2 times ULN.
  • The patient has a history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or any serious reaction to the echinocandin class of antifungals.
  • The patient has a confirmed systemic fungal infection with a non-Candida species.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient is receiving micafungin treatment in combination with other antifungal drugs.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence and severity of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) collected during the observational period
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
ADR is considered to be any noxious and unintended response associated with the use of a drug in humans, at any dose, where a causal relationship (drug-event) is at least a reasonable possibility
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Safety assessed by incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Adverse event (AE) is considered "serious" if the investigator or sponsor view any of the following outcomes: Death, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, hospitalization, or medically important event
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Incidence of death attributable to micafungin treatment
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Death, if considered by the clinician to be attributable to micafungin
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Safety assessed by vital sign measurements
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Vital sign measurements include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Safety assessed by AEs of special interest (stratified by relationship to micafungin treatment)
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
This includes hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, infusion-related reactions, haemolytic events, histamine-release/allergic-type reactions and injection site reactions
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety assessed by nature, frequency and severity of Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Adverse events (AEs) will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). AEs that started or worsened during the observational period after the start of micafungin treatment will be summarized by the time period of onset. AE occurring within 3 days after end of therapy will be defined as treatment emergent adverse events
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Overall treatment success
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
The overall treatment success will be defined as a complete or partial clinical response in proven fungal infection, and by an empirical treatment composite outcome score in probable/possible fungal infection. Overall treatment success for patients receiving prophylactic treatment is defined as the absence of proven, probable, possible or suspected Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) during the period of prophylactic therapy and up to 4 weeks after stopping micafungin administration
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Change from baseline to end of treatment in safety laboratory parameters
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Indication of hepatic or renal dysfunction
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Mycological response at end of treatment in patients with proven invasive fungal infection with candida or aspergillus species
Time Frame: Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
Response will be defined as eradication, presumed eradication, or overall
Up to end of trial (up to 95 weeks)
