An Observational Study of Fungal Biomarkers (MK-0000-089)
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00854607
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between fungal biomarker levels
during anti-fungal therapy and the success of treatment for fungal infection. The primary
hypothesis is that over the initial two weeks of anti-fungal therapy, fungal biomarkers from
participants with invasive aspergillosis (IA) will be lower for those with a successful
clinical outcome compared to those with a failed clinical outcome.
