Rezafungin versus caspofungin for treatment of candidaemia and invasive candidiasis (ReSTORE) : a multicentre, double-blind, double-dummy, randomised phase 3 trial

George R. Thompson III et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous rezafungin with intravenous caspofungin in the treatment of candidaemia and invasive candidiasis. The results showed that rezafungin was non-inferior to caspofungin in terms of efficacy and safety.

Heightened Efficacy of Anidulafungin When Used in Combination with Manogepix or 5-Flucytosine against Candida auris In Vitro

Larissa L. H. John et al.

Summary: Candida auris is an emerging, multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen that causes refractory colonization and life-threatening, invasive nosocomial infections. The high proportion of C. auris isolates that display antifungal resistance severely limits treatment options.

Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing of Plasma for Diagnosis of COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Martin Hoenigl et al.

Summary: Timely diagnosis remains an unmet need in non-neutropenic patients at risk for aspergillosis, including those with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA). Currently available mycological tests show limited sensitivity when testing blood specimens. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in plasma might overcome some of the limitations of conventional diagnostics.

Fungal translocation measured by serum 1,3-β-D-glucan correlates with severity and outcome of liver cirrhosis-A pilot study

Matthias Egger et al.

Summary: Liver cirrhosis, a systemic disease causing 1 million deaths per year, is associated with fungal translocation and its effects on gut integrity, inflammation, and liver disease severity/outcome. This study found a correlation between fungal translocation and markers of gut inflammation, as well as a significant difference in mortality between patients with positive versus negative fungal translocation. Further research is needed to understand the complex interactions and potential therapeutic interventions.

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Non-albicans Candida Bloodstream Infections in Transplant Recipients and Cancer Patients

Caitlin Otto et al.

Summary: This retrospective survey conducted in New York City analyzed non-Candida albicans candidemia in cancer and transplant patients. The most common species detected were C. glabrata, followed by C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. lusitaniae, and C. guilliermondii. Micafungin was the most commonly used antifungal treatment and 18.5% of patients received antifungal prophylaxis. The 30-day crude mortality rate was 40%. This study provides valuable epidemiological data on non-albicans Candida species in this patient population.

Invasive candidiasis: investigational drugs in the clinical development pipeline and mechanisms of action

Martin Hoenigl et al.

Summary: Infections caused by non-albicans Candida spp. are increasing, but the development of antifungal drugs is still progressing. The article discusses in detail the antifungal agents currently in clinical development for Candida, their mechanisms of action, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Expert opinions are provided on the potential roles of these investigational agents.

COVID-19-associated fungal infections

Martin Hoenigl et al.

Summary: Invasive fungal infections associated with COVID-19 are an important complication, primarily caused by Aspergillus, Mucorales, and Candida species. This review examines the incidence of these fungal infections in different income countries, evaluating their epidemiology, clinical risk factors, and pathogenesis for future research and clinical guidance. Hoenigl and colleagues provide an overview of the epidemiology, immunology, and clinical risk factors of COVID-19-associated fungal infections.

Determinants of fluconazole resistance and echinocandin tolerance in C. parapsilosis isolates causing a large clonal candidemia outbreak among COVID-19 patients in a Brazilian ICU

Farnaz Daneshnia et al.

Summary: Patients with severe COVID-19 are at risk of acquiring COVID-19-associated candidemia (CAC), often caused by drug-resistant C. parapsilosis. This study reports the largest outbreak of CAC caused by fluconazole-resistant and echinocandin-tolerant C. parapsilosis. The findings underscore the importance of antifungal stewardship and infection control strategies.

Ibrexafungerp, a Novel Triterpenoid Antifungal in Development for the Treatment of Mold Infections

David A. Angulo et al.

Summary: Molds pose a significant risk to immunocompromised patients, and current antifungal therapies have limitations. Ibrexafungerp, a new class of antifungal, shows promise with its oral availability, tissue penetration, and efficacy against invasive mold infections.

The Antifungal Pipeline: Fosmanogepix, Ibrexafungerp, Olorofim, Opelconazole, and Rezafungin

Martin Hoenigl et al.

Summary: The epidemiology of invasive fungal infections is changing due to increased usage of antifungal agents leading to resistance. Limited therapeutic options are further challenged by drug-drug interactions, toxicity, and administration constraints. Despite the lack of new antifungal drug classes in the past two decades, there are promising new classes in late-stage clinical development, offering hope for improved treatment options.
