A Phase 3 Study of Rezafungin for Injection Versus the Standard Antimicrobial Regimen to Prevent Invasive Fungal Diseases in AdultsUndergoing an Allogeneic Blood and Marrow Transplant.
EU CTIS ID: 2024-514471-18-00
What this study is testing
To demonstrate non-inferiority (NI) in subjects who received an allogeneic BMT for subjects randomized to Rezafungin for Injection compared to subjects randomized to the standard antimicrobial regimen (SAR) for fungal-free survival at Day 90 (±7 days), and then to assess superiority of Rezafungin over the SAR for fungal-free survival at Day 90 (±7 days).
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

- Receiving myeloablative or reduced-intensity conditioning regimens.
- Adequate renal and hepatic function prior to initiation of conditioning regimen, therefore between 40 days prior and 10 days prior to BMT, documented as follows: a. Hepatic: alanine aminotransferase ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and total serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN (excluding Gilbert’s Syndrome). b. Renal: serum creatinine ≤2 mg/dL and with creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min without a history of renal transplant, or undergoing weekly dialysis within 4 weeks of the BMT.
- Baseline blood samples drawn for serum Platelia galactomannan enzyme immunoassay (GM EIA) and β-D-glucan levels within 15 days before randomization, with results available prior to randomization.
- Baseline Toxoplasma serologies available within 6 weeks prior to randomization. Subjects with a positive Toxoplasma IgG serology at any time prior to randomization do not need to repeat the Toxoplasma serologies (IgG and IgM) and will be considered to have a prior history of toxoplasmosis.
- Baseline glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency determination by the investigator prior to randomization with no evidence of known G6PD deficiency performed any time prior to randomization. If the Investigator assesses the subject as G6PD sufficient, the G6PD test result does not need to be entered into the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system.
