Primary | Number of Participants With One or More Drug-related Serious Adverse Events | A serious adverse event is one that results in death, disability/incapacity, or hospitalization or is life threatening, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, cancer, an overdose, or otherwise jeopardizes the patient and may require medical intervention. A drug-related adverse event is a determination by the investigator physician that the study drug caused the event based on exposure, time course, likely cause, dechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was discontinued), rechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was re-introduced), and consistency with the drug profile. |
First dose of study drug through 14 days post therapy (maximum 28 days of study drug for esophageal candidiasis, 60 days for invasive candidiasis; mean treatment duration of 14 days) | Yes |
Secondary | Number of Participants With One or More Drug-related Adverse Events | A drug-related adverse event is a determination by the investigator physician that the study drug caused the event based on exposure, time course, likely cause, dechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was discontinued), rechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was re-introduced), and consistency with the drug profile. | First dose of study drug through 14 days post therapy (maximum 28 days of study drug for esophageal candidiasis, 60 days for invasive candidiasis; mean treatment duration of 14 days) | Yes |
Secondary | Number of Participants Who Discontinued Due to a Drug-related Adverse Event | A drug-related adverse event is a determination by the investigator physician that the study drug caused the event based on exposure, time course, likely cause, dechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was discontinued), rechallenge (event resolved/improved when drug was re-introduced), and consistency with the drug profile. | First dose of study drug through 14 days post therapy (maximum 28 days of study drug for esophageal candidiasis, 60 days for invasive candidiasis; mean treatment duration of 14 days) | Yes |
Secondary | Number of Participants With Favorable Overall Response for Esophageal Candidiasis or Invasive Candidiasis | Efficacy response for esophageal candidiasis was based on clinical and endoscopic criteria; favorable responses included complete and partial improvement in symptoms and endoscopic lesions. Efficacy response for invasive candidiasis was based on microbiological and clinical assessments; favorable responses required both favorable microbiological response (i.e., eradication or presumptive eradication based on symptoms, physical exam, and non-invasive tests) and complete or partial clinical response. |
First dose of study drug through up to 60 days of therapy (maximum 28 days of study drug for esophageal candidiasis, 60 days for invasive candidiasis; mean treatment duration of 14 days) | No |
