“…Biomarker-guided pre-emptive therapy with echinocandins triggered by elevated serum β-1 → 3-d-glucan (BDG) has also been shown to reduce the incidence of proven disease and to target antifungals for patients that would be most likely to benefit from them [15]. While fluconazole has not been shown to be effective for empirical therapy [16], a recent study has shown that empirical therapy with micafungin in highrisk hosts also decreased the incidence of proven disease [17]. None of these studies have shown a survival benefit as none of them have been powered to do so; however, the standard of care at this time is utilizing a clinical prediction rule such as the Candida score [18] or the MSG-01 rule [15] to identify high-risk hosts and then monitor serum biomarkers such as BDG or PCR for biomarkerbased pre-emptive therapy or the clinical prediction rules themselves as triggers for empirical therapy.…”

“…In this clinical trial, empirical treatment with micafungin, compared with placebo, did not increase fungal infection-free survival at day 28 (primary endpoint). However, this trial was not powered to detect changes in mortality [17].…”

“…Тому нові біомаркери та клінічне оцінювання ризику за алгоритмом допоможуть ідентифікува-ти тих пацієнтів, які мають найвищий ризик ІК та антифунгальної терапії [9]. За даними дослідження EMPIRICUS, емпіричне застосування мікафунгіну в пацієнтів із ВІТ-асоційованим сепсисом не впли-ває на рівень 28-денної летальності порівняно з пла-цебо, але знижує з 12 до 3 % частоту нової інвазив-ної грибкової інфекції порівняно з групою плацебо (р = 0,008) [10].…”

“…Actually, although recommended by recent guidelines, the broadly applied risk factors based approach (i.e., disease severity, previous use of antibiotics, total parenteral nutrition, recent digestive surgery and Candida colonization) leads to AFT administration to patients in whom IFI remains unproven in up to 80% of the cases [5][6][7]. In addition, such a liberal strategy was shown to be ineffective regarding patients' outcome: a recent double blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) showed that empirical treatment of critically ill patients with ICU-acquired sepsis, Candida colonization and multiple organ failure with micafungin, compared with placebo, did not increase fungal infection-free survival at day 28 [8].…”
