Official Study Title
Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Interferon-Gamma 1b (rIFN-Gamma 1b) Given With Standard Therapy in Patients With Candidemia: The HDM-FUN-Candidemia trial

Brief Description
Invasive fungal infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and lead to numerous hospital and ICU admissions. Candidemia is associated with a suppressed immune status and research has provided evidence that patients with candidemia might benefit from recombinant interferon gamma (rIFN-γ) immunotherapy. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of adjunctive rIFN-γ treatment to standard antifungal therapy on outcome in patients with candidemia. The secondary objective is to evaluate new markers that can indicate whether a patient will benefit from rIFN-γ immunotherapy.
