Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: -Patients with candidemia or with an invasive Candida infection who have a positive blood or tissue culture obtained within 96 hours prior to randomization, accompanied by related clinical signs and symptoms or histological or cytological changes. A preliminary positive Gram stain, histology or cytology result of yeast is sufficient for randomization, and final culture results may still be pending at the time of first dose. -Presence of fever (on one occasion > 38°C oral, or equivalent) or hypothermia (on one occasion =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 180

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -Patients with a sole diagnosis of mucocutaneous candidiasis, i.e. oropharyngeal, esophageal or genital candidiasis; or candidal lower urinary tract infection or Candida isolated solely from respiratory tract specimens -Patients with candidemia who failed a previous antifungal therapy for the same infection -Patients previously enrolled in a phase III study with isavuconazole -Patients with a body weight <40kg -Patients at high risk for QT/QTc prolongation -Concomitant use of sirolimus, everolimus, efavirenz, ritonavir, astemizole, cisapride, rifampicin/rifampin, rifabutin, ergot alkaloids, long acting barbiturates, carbamazepine, pimozide, quinidine, neostigmine, ketoconazole, valproic acid, St. John’s Wort, or terfenadine in the 5 days prior to first administration of study medication.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of treatment with isavuconazole (ISA) versus caspofungin (CAS) in patients with candidemia or other invasive Candida infections.;Secondary Objective: To asses safety and tolerability of treatment with ISA versus CAS/voriconazole (VRC) regimen.;Primary end point(s): Overall response at the end of IV therapy (i.e. caspofungin or isavuconazole) as determined by the independent blinded Data Review Committee (DRC);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Overall response at 2 weeks after EOT (FU1) as determined by the independent blinded DRC.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Overall response as determined by the independent blinded DRC at other time points. -Mycological response as determined by the independent blinded DRC at other time points. -Clinical response as determined by the independent blinded DRC at other time points. -Mycological response as determined by the Investigator. -Clinical response as determined by the Investigator. -Time to first confirmed negative culture. -All-cause mortality.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: •Overall response assessment [ Time Frame: Day 7, end of treatment (up to Day 56), 6 weeks after last study drug ] •Mycological response [ Time Frame: Day 7, end of treatment (up to Day 56), 2 weeks after last study drug, 6 weeks after last study drug ] •Clinical response [ Time Frame: Day 7, end of treatment (up to Day 56), 2 weeks after last study drug, 6 weeks after last study drug ] •Time to first confirmed negative culture [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks after last study drug ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] •All-cause mortality [ Time Frame: Day 14, end of treatment (up to Day 56), 2 weeks after last study drug, 6 weeks after last study drug ]
