Phase IV Open-Label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Combination of Voriconazole and Anidulafungin for the Treatment of Subjects With Proven or Probable Invasive Aspergillosis Who Are Intolerant of Polyene Treatment
Phase IV Open-Label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Combination of Voriconazole and Anidulafungin for the Treatment of Subjects With Proven or Probable Invasive Aspergillosis Who Are Intolerant of Polyene Treatment
This study will test the effectiveness and the safety of giving two antifungal agents (voriconazole and anidulafungin) together to treat invasive aspergillosis in patients who are unable to tolerate polyene therapy.
The study was terminated on January 12, 2009 due to the overall low rate of enrollment. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns. Patients who were enrolled in the study prior to January 12, 2009 were allowed to remain in the study until completing their participation as specified in the protocol.
Inclusion Criteria:
Proven or probable invasive aspergillosis. Patient is intolerant to polyene therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with invasive aspergillosis for more than 30 days at the time of study entry. Patients with uncontrolled bacterial or viral infection at the time of study entry. Patients with significant liver dysfunction or who are taking certain medications which interact with voriconazole.
