Trial Outcomes & Findings for Early Clinical Experience With Anidulafungin In Patients With Liver Disease In The United Kingdom (NCT NCT01202253)

NCT ID: NCT01202253

Last Updated: 2014-04-16

Results Overview

Favorable outcome was defined as favorable clinical response and documented or presumed microbial eradication (two negative follow-up blood cultures for bloodstream infections or a successful clinical response without follow-up cultures for other infections). Favorable clinical response was defined as clinical resolution of signs and symptoms of infection and no need to change or add to antifungal therapy, or transition to oral antifungal to complete therapy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28 post-treatment

Population: Full analysis set included all participants who met the defined eligibility criteria. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) is signifying those participants who were evaluable for this measure.

Favorable outcome was defined as favorable clinical response and documented or presumed microbial eradication (two negative follow-up blood cultures for bloodstream infections or a successful clinical response without follow-up cultures for other infections). Favorable clinical response was defined as clinical resolution of signs and symptoms of infection and no need to change or add to antifungal therapy, or transition to oral antifungal to complete therapy.

Timeframe: Day 28 post-treatment

Population: Full analysis set included all participants who met the defined eligibility criteria. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) is signifying those participants who were evaluable for this measure.

Unfavorable outcome was defined as the need to change to another antifungal agent because of lack of clinical response or death due to the antifungal infection or microbiologic persistence of the fungus or superinfection with a new Candida, Aspergillus or other fungal strain occurring at least 3 days and up to 14 days of anidulafungin therapy, or a lack of follow up data about clinical and microbiologic responses at the end of anidulafungin therapy.
