1 Surveillance of Azole Resistance in Aspergillus

Primary objectives: 1. To investigate the prevalence of azole resistance in Aspergillus clinical isolates collected in participating hospitals in Taiwan 2. To investigate the prevalence of azole resistance in Aspergillus environmental isolates in Taiwan 3. To characterize the molecular mechanisms of azole resistance in Aspergillus isolates in Taiwan 4. To investigate the clonality of Aspergillus clinical and environmental isolates in Taiwan 5. To describe the genetic relationships between local resistant strains with global strains Secondary objective: 1. To describe the clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis 2. To evaluate the clinical impact of azole resistance in patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis in a case-control study

NCT03024281 Infection; Aspergillus
MeSH: Aspergillosis

Multiple amino acid substitutions in the cyp51A gene have been described to be associated with azole resistance that emerges during azole treatment, while a resistance mechanism, TR34/L98H mutation in cyp51A, has been linked to the agricultural use of azole fungicides in Europe, which have also been widely used in Taiwan for years. --- L98H ---

2 PCR Based Detection of Azole Resistance in A. Fumigatus to Improve Patient Outcome. A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study.

A standard treatment protocol for invasive aspergillosis (IA) will be implemented in several academic hematology centers in the Netherlands in which a diagnostic test demonstrating azole resistance by multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction will guide the choice of appropriate antifungal treatment. Objectives: 1. Improve the outcome of patients infected with azole resistant A. fumigatus by the early detection of Resistance Associated Mutations (RAMs) and with this the earlier initiation of the most appropriate therapy. 2. Monitor the prevalence of invasive aspergillosis due to strains carrying the TR34/L98H or the TR46/T289A/Y121F resistance associated mutations in the Netherlands.

NCT03121235 Aspergillosis, Invasive Pulmonary Diagnostic Test: PCR based detection of azole resistance in A. fumigatus
MeSH: Aspergillosis Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

2. Monitor the prevalence of invasive aspergillosis due to strains carrying the TR34/L98H or the TR46/T289A/Y121F resistance associated mutations in the Netherlands. --- L98H ---

Primary Outcomes

Description: Incidence of antifungal treatment failure in patients with the presence of RAM detected by the AsperGenius® resistance PCR. This incidence will be compared with a fixed failure rate set at 75%, based on the observed treatment failure in patients treated with voriconazole that were shown to carry azole resistant A. fumigatus.

Measure: Incidence of antifungal treatment failure

Time: 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: This will be compared with a fixed mortality of 50%.

Measure: Demonstrate that early detection of azole resistance reduces the overall mortality.

Time: 6 weeks

Description: Posaconazole step down therapy will be considered effective if <35% of the patients treated with posaconazole oral monotherapy show progression of their invasive aspergillosis after documented response after at least 14 days of IV antifungal therapy.

Measure: Demonstrate that a step down to oral posaconazole is a reasonable treatment option in patients that have responded to at least 2 weeks of IV antifungal therapy.

Time: 12 weeks

Description: A group that received appropriate antifungal therapy soon will be compared with a group that received treatment late.

Measure: Comparison of antifungal treatment failure in patients with the presence of RAM.

Time: 24 weeks

3 Prospective Multicenter Evaluation of the MycoGenie Kit for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis in Hematological Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performances of the real-time PCR ADEMTECH kit of DNA extraction and detection of Aspergillus fumigatus in serum samples in patients at high-risk for invasive aspergillosis (IA). DNA detection will be associated with detection of TR34/L98H mutations in cyp51A gene, which confer azole resistance.

DNA detection will be associated with detection of TR34/L98H mutations in cyp51A gene, which confer azole resistance. --- L98H ---

Azole resistance in A. fumigatus is associated mainly with mutations in the cyp51A gene, and among several mutations described, the most frequent is the mutation comprising a 34-bp tandem repeat (TR34) and the L98H alteration. --- L98H ---

This multiplex assay detects DNA from the A. fumigatus species complex by targeting the multicopy 28S rRNA gene and specific TR34 and L98H mutations in the single-copy number cyp51A gene of A. fumigatus. --- L98H ---
