Participants are HIV-infected adults (≥18 years) with confirmed talaromycosis by microscopy or culture.\n\nInterventions:\n\n1. L-AMB group receives a single intravenous dose of 10 mg/kg L-AMB.\n2. Control group receives intravenous AmBD at 0.5-0.7 mg/kg/d for 14 days.\n3. Both groups start consolidation therapy with itraconazole 200mg q12h for 10 weeks within 24 hours post-induction.\n4.

The mortality rate for untreated talaromycosis ranges from 75% to 97%, and where the infection is uncontrolled in PLWH, the fatality rate can approach 100%. Talaromycosis is endemic in South-East Asia and parts of China and India, contributing to a significant burden in these areas \\[1\\]. Notebly, talaromycosis is responsible for one-sixth of AIDS-related hospitalizations and exhibits a high mortality rate. In China, approximately 99% of TM infections are concentrated in the southern region, where it is one of the leading causes of AIDS-associated deaths. The endemic range of talaromycosis has expanded beyond traditional regions in southern China, Southeast Asian countries and Northeast India, now encompassing 34 countries and regions worldwide. The case fatality rate for untreated talaromycosis remains alarmingly high, between 75% and 100% \\[1, 2\\].\n\nThe antifungal management of talaromycosis in PLWH involves three phases: induction, consolidation and maintenance, with the induction phase being of paramount importance. Based on findings from the Itraconazole versus AmphotericinB for Penicilliosis (IVAP) studies and observational studies, the DHHS guidelines recommend amphotericin B for induction therapy, with liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) as the preferred agent due to its superior safety profile and favorable clinical outcome \\[3\\]. Historically, Chinese AIDS treatment guidelines have recommended amphotericin B deoxycholate (AMB d, 0.5-0.7mg/kg/d) as the standard therapy for AIDS-associated talaromycosis. However, the nephrotoxicity and adverse effects including anemia and electrolyte disturbances associated with AMB d have resulted in suboptimal therapeutic outcomes \\[4, 5\\]. L-AMB has demonstrated reduced toxicity, enhanced safety and prolonged tissue half-life \\[2, 6\\]. Following its introduction to China in June 2023, L-AMB (3-5mg/kg/d) is now recommended in updated local guidelines for HIV-associated talaromycosis \\[7\\]. Nevertheless, given the relatively recent clinical availability of L-AMB, clinical experience and data on its use in people living with HIV (PLWH) in China remain limited.\n\nThe use of single high-dose L-AMB has been explored in clinical trials for various fungal infections \\[8, 9\\]. Due to its reduced drug-induced toxicity, higher doses of L-AMB can be administered safely \\[10\\]. WHO has endorsed single high-dose L-AMB for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis based on findings from the Ambition study \\[10\\]. Additionally, a Phase II trial investigating HIV/AIDS-associated disseminated histoplasmosis showed that a one-day induction therapy with 10 mg/kg L-AMB was both safe and effective \\[6\\]. Despite these promising findings, this therapeutic approach has not yet been rigorously evaluated in the context of HIV-associated talaromycosis.\n\nThe optimal timing of initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-associated talaromycosis remains uncertain. DHHS guidelines recommend starting ART 1 week after initiating amphotericin B therapy \\[3\\]. Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate (B/F/TAF) is a single-tablet regimen recommended for the rapid initiation of ART (within 7 days after HIV diagnosis) in PLWH, offering potent viral suppression and a favorable safety profile. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the use of regimen in PLWH with advanced opportunistic infection (OIs), including HIV-associated talaromycosis.\n\nHypothesis The investigators hypothesize that a single high dose regimen of L-AMB (10 mg/kg) as induction therapy for HIV-associated talaromycosis is non-inferior to the conventional administration of AmBD (0.5-0.7mg/kg/d) in terms of efficacy and is associated with an improved safety profile. Specifically, the investigators expected that key clinical outcomes including the proportion of participants who achieve clinical resolution on day 14, the rate of fungal clearance during the induction phase, the time to clinical symptom remission, and the mortality rate of patients will be comparable to those observed with conventional AmBD therapy. Additionally, the investigators anticipant a reduction in the incidence of grade 3 or above adverse events, defined by clinical or laboratory criteria. Furthermore, the investigators propose that rapid initiation of B/F/TAF within 7 days after antifungal therapy is feasible in this population. This can be demonstrated by observing indicators such as HIV suppression rate, occurrence and progression of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), the absolute median or percentage change in laboratory values (such as CD4 T cell counts) as well as the patient-reported outcomes(PROs).\n\nPrimary Objective This prospective multicenter clinical study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of a single high-dose L-AMB with guidelines-recommended first-line induction therapy (2 weeks of AmBD) for the treatment of HIV-associated talaromycosis. The study seeks to provide robust, high-quality evidence to support the guideline recommendation of a single high dose of L-AMB for HIV-infected individuals with talaromycosis, while validating and accumulating efficacy and safety data of L-AMB in the Chinese population.\n\nSecondary Objectives The secondary objectives include assessing the feasibility of rapid initiation of B/F/TAF within 7 days after antifungal therapy initiation. The study aims to provide high-quality evidence to support guideline recommendations on the rapid initiation of B/F/TAF in HIV-associated talaromycosis patients, while verifying its safety and efficacy.\n\nStudy Design and Research Methods This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial. This trial intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single high-dose L-AMB for induction therapy for HIV-associated talaromycosis, in comparison to amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmBD) as recommended by the local guidelines.\n\nEligible participants were HIV-infected adults (18 years of age) who had talaromycosis that was confirmed by either microscopy or culture. Participants will be recruited based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. After enrollment, participants will be 1:1 randomly assigned into two groups for induction therapy after informed consent: single high-dose L-AmB group (10 mg/kg single intravenous dose of L-AMB) and control group (amphotericin B deoxycholate(AmBD) at 0.5-0.7 mg/kg/d intravenously for 14 days as the standard of care recommended by local guidelines).Thereafter, all participants in both groups will start consolidation therapy within 24 hours of the induction treatment, 200mg itraconazole(or voriconazole) q12h will be given for 10 weeks. After consolidation therapy, all participants will take oral itraconazole 200mg qd as secondary prophylaxis until their CD4+ cell counts are higher than 100cells/mm3 for at least 6 months. For the antiretroviral therapy, all participants will start B/F/TAF qd within 7 days after initiating antifungal therapy.\n\nAll participants will be hospitalized during the initial 2-week period of the trial, during which time administration of therapy is directly observed. Patients will be closely monitored during the first 2-week inpatient period and then followed up in outpatient clinics for 6 months. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants who achieve clinical resolution on day 14, defined as resolution of symptoms/signs attributable to talaromycosis, such as fever and rash (temperature below 38 for more than 3 days, improvement of rash) and sterile blood cultures, except for manifestations that are expected to last for more than 14 days after treatment initiation: hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice and pancytopenia. Secondary endpoints are also determined on day 14 and included overall survival, renal function abnormalities, anemia, and liver function abnormalities and clinical or laboratory-defined adverse events of grade 3 or higher. Overall survival, HIV viral suppression, CD4+ T-cell counts, adverse events (including immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, IRIS), ART persistency and patient-reported outcomes will also be evaluated at week 4, 12 and 24.\n\nEach group consists of 58 participants(116 in total). Subjects will be recruited at four clinical centers in southern China, with preliminary allocations as follows: Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (22 cases) , Chest Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region(43 cases), Fujian Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital (20 cases), and Guiyang Public Health Center (31 cases).\n\nNumber of Sites 4\n\nTreatment Regimen\n\n1.
