Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Test the Combination of Voriconazole and Anidulafungin in Patients Who Have, or Are Thought to Have, Invasive Aspergillosis and Who Are Unable to Take a Common Antifungal Therapy (Polyene) (NCT NCT00620074)

NCT ID: NCT00620074

Last Updated: 2010-02-15

Results Overview

Number of subjects with global response consisting of a combination of clinical and radiological findings at the end of therapy. Possible outcome categories: Complete Response: resolution of all clinical signs and symptoms and more than 90% of lesions due to invasive aspergillosis that were visible on radiological studies; Partial Response: clinical improvement and greater than 50% improvement in radiological findings; Stable Response: no change from baseline or an improvement of less than 50% in radiological findings; Failure (no response): worsening disease.

Measure
Anidulalfungin and Voriconazole
Voriconazole: subjects with creatinine clearance at least 50 milliliters per minute (ml/min) will receive initial treatment with intravenous (IV) (loading dose of 6 milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\] every 12 hours \[Q12h\]) followed by maintenance dose of 4 mg/kg Q12h or oral (PO) (loading dose of 400 mg Q12h followed by maintenance dose of 300 mg Q12h). Subjects with creatinine clearance \<50 ml/min will receive oral Voriconazole (loading dose of 400 mg Q12h followed by maintenance dose of 300 mg Q12h). Anidulafungin: loading dose of 200 mg once daily (QD) followed by maintenance dose of 100 mg QD for up to a total of 28 days therapy. Subjects remain on combination therapy for minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 28 days; after combination therapy complete, subjects may remain on a maintenance dose of Voriconazole monotherapy until Day 42.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End of Treatment (Day 42)

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT): includes all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication. No descriptive or inferential analysis was completed due to low enrollment and subsequent early termination of study.

Number of subjects with global response consisting of a combination of clinical and radiological findings at the end of therapy. Possible outcome categories: Complete Response: resolution of all clinical signs and symptoms and more than 90% of lesions due to invasive aspergillosis that were visible on radiological studies; Partial Response: clinical improvement and greater than 50% improvement in radiological findings; Stable Response: no change from baseline or an improvement of less than 50% in radiological findings; Failure (no response): worsening disease.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Week 6

Population: ITT. No descriptive or inferential analysis was completed due to low enrollment and subsequent early termination of study.

Number of subjects per Galactomannan titer level with global response for all subjects (with or without renal impairment). The galactomann assay is an immunological blood serum test used to diagnose invasive aspergillosis and to monitor disease progression. Global response is a composite of clinical and radiological findings summarized as Complete Response: resolution of all clinical signs and symptoms; Partial Response: clinical improvement; Stable Response: no change from baseline or an improvement of less than 50% in radiological findings; Failure (no response): worsening disease.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 1 through Week 6

Population: ITT; only 1 pharmacokinetic sample was collected for each subject, therefore a comprehensive analysis of trough plasma concentrations was not completed due to insufficient data.

Voriconazole trough plasma concentrations measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
