Study Overview

Brief Summary

Invasive Candida infections are burdened with a high mortality rate and is very common in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of empirical treatment with micafungin in adult patients with suspected invasive candidiasis.

Detailed Description

Multicenter, randomized, double-blind parallel groups comparing adult patients with suspected invasive candidiasis input from a 14-day empirical treatment with micafungin (MYCAMINE 100 mg) with placebo on survival without invasive candidiasis in 28 days after initiation of study treatment.

  • Receiving a social security system,
  • Negative pregnancy test for patients of childbearing age

Exclusion Criteria

  • Proven invasive fungal infection (positive blood culture, positive culture of a surgical site, deep biopsy with fungal infection), including aspergillosis requiring antifungal therapy at the time of randomization

Arms & Interventions

Micafungin

Active Comparator

MYCAMINE 100 mg intravenous an injection of 24 hours

Intervention: Micafungin (Drug)

PLACEBO

Placebo Comparator

0.9% sodium chlorides 100ml infusion

Intervention: PLACEBO (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

survival to 28 days without proven fungal infection (a fungal infection occurring within 48 hours after inclusion will be considered available for inclusion)

Time Frame: 28 days follow-up

breakthrough infection defined as a proven infection occurs at least 48 hours after initiation of treatment Proven infection is considered purchased after enrollment if the first significant positive levy occurs after the 48 th hour after enrollment.

Secondary Outcomes

  • pharmacokinetic parameters: estimated gross exposure indices: AUC, Cmax, Cmin(during 24 hours (between the two first infusions))
  • evaluation of tolerance(3 months)
  • pharmacodynamic parameters: potential serum biomarkers of treatment efficacy (PCR Candida,1,3 β-D-glucan,mannan antigenemia,anti-mannan,Procalcitonin (proCT))(during 28 days)
  • pharmacodynamic parameters: Early prognostic factors of response: J7 survival without proven invasive candidiasis(during 14 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible on all-cause mortality at day 28 (end of study) and J90 (3 months post-randomization)(during 90 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis can free survival antifungal treatment at day 28(during 28 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible evolution of organ failure during the study(during 90 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible the use of mechanical ventilation during the study(during 90 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible evolution of the colonization index during study(during 90 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible changes in serum biomarkers (1-3 β-D-glucan, mannan antigenemia, anti-mannan Candida PCR) during the study(during 90 days)
  • Evaluate the impact of empiric treatment with micafungin in patients with invasive candidiasis possible on the incidence of pneumonia acquired bacterial mechanical ventilation (VAP).(during 90 days)
