Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of administering 372.6 mg of AK1820 (isavuconazonium sulfate) intravenously or orally to adult Japanese patients with deep mycosis. The primary endpoint is safety (percentage of patients with adverse events after starting the study treatment).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AK1820

Participants will receive a loading dose of isavuconazole, 200 mg three times a day by intravenous infusion (IV) or orally for the first 2 days followed by a maintenance dose from Day 3 of 200 mg once daily either IV or orally until they will reach a treatment endpoint or for a maximum of 84 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AK1820

Intervention Type DRUG

Only a switch from IV infusion (vial) to oral administration (capsule) will be permitted; a switch from oral administration to IV infusion will not be possible.

372.6 mg of AK1820 (isavuconazonium sulfate) is equivalent to 200 mg of isavuconazole.

Other Names: Cresemba, BAL8557

Voriconazole

Participants will receive a loading dose of voriconazole, 6 mg/kg every 12 hours IV or 300 mg every 12 hours orally for the first 24 hours, followed by a maintenance dose from Day 2 of 4 mg/kg every 12 hours by IV or 200 mg every 12 hours orally, until they will reach a treatment endpoint or for a maximum of 84 days.
