Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Caspofungin (MK-0991) in Japanese Children and Adolescents With Documented Candida or Aspergillus Infections (MK-0991-074) (NCT NCT01165320)

NCT ID: NCT01165320

Last Updated: 2018-08-27

Results Overview

Invasive candidiasis: favorable overall response required resolved clinical findings and negative culture test for Candida species on follow-up. If Candida species were not observed in the baseline blood culture, favorable overall response required resolved clinical findings and resolved or improved radiographic findings. Aspergillosis: favorable overall response required resolved, improved, or unchanged clinical findings and resolved or improved radiographic findings, or resolved or improved clinical findings and resolved, improved, or stable radiographic findings.

Participant Flow

Participants with documented esophageal candidiasis, invasive candidiasis, or aspergillosis and who met all of the additional inclusion and exclusion criteria were to be enrolled in the study

Three participants were initially enrolled but were withdrawn when their suspected fungal infections were not confirmed. These 3 participants did not receive study drug. No participants with esophageal candidiasis were identified for inclusion in the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Invasive candidiasis: up to 56 days; aspergillosis: up to 84 days

Population: The full analysis set included all enrolled participants who received \>=1 dose of study drug. No participants with esophageal candidiasis were identified for inclusion in the study and assessment for response to therapy. Participants whose overall response assessment was "unable to judge" were counted as having an unfavorable response.

Invasive candidiasis: favorable overall response required resolved clinical findings and negative culture test for Candida species on follow-up. If Candida species were not observed in the baseline blood culture, favorable overall response required resolved clinical findings and resolved or improved radiographic findings. Aspergillosis: favorable overall response required resolved, improved, or unchanged clinical findings and resolved or improved radiographic findings, or resolved or improved clinical findings and resolved, improved, or stable radiographic findings.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Invasive candidiasis: up to 70 days; aspergillosis: up to 98 days

Population: The full analysis set included all enrolled participants who received \>=1 dose of study drug. No participants with esophageal candidiasis were identified for inclusion in the study and assessment for safety outcomes.

An adverse experience (AE) is defined as any unfavorable or unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study drug is also an AE. A drug-related AE is one judged to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to the study drug.
