An observational study in Fungal Disease, sponsored by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 1 Month to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-21.
Sponsored by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the efficacy the favorable response rate and safety of L-AmB(liposomal amphotericin B) for the treatment of br-IFD(breakthrough invasive fungal disease) in Chinese children and adolescent patients with hematological malignancies receiving triazoles/echinocandins antifungal prophylaxis.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Chinese children and adolescent with hematological malignancies will taking L-AmB as part of their regular medical care for br-IFD. The efficacy and safety data will be recorded.
This is a single center, prospective, single-arm and observational study. Patients with breakthrough IFD in children and adolescent patients with hematological malignancies receiving triazoles or echinocandins prophylaxis who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria receive liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB)(AmBisome) for antifungal therapy. The efficacy and safety will be observed.
The response rate is assumed to be 67%, a sample size of 38 will produce a two-sided 95% confi dence interval for response rate with a width 0.3 (30%). With a 10% dropout consideration, 43 patients will need to be enrolled.
The research objective of this study is to: (a) Evaluate the efficacy and safety of L-AmB for the treatment of br-IFD in Chinese children and adolescent patients with hematological malignancies receiving triazoles/echinocandins prophylaxis.
(b) Identify baseline characteristic that may be associated with better response rates treated with L-AmB.
These research objectives will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the roles of L-AmB in the treatment of breakthrough IFD in children and adolescent patients, and provide scientific evidence for clinical practice.

breakthrough IFD in children and adolescent patients with hematological malignancies receiving triazoles or echinocandins prophylaxis
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
The children and adolescent patients with hematological received echinocandin/triazole for antifungal prophylaxis and diagnosed with br-IFD.
Exclusion Criteria:
(a) Received AmB formulation for prophylaxis or treatment within the past 30 days.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
