Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: assess the incidence of invasive candidiasis at EOT assess the time to invasive candidiasis at EOT;Secondary Objective: To assess the incidence and time to confirmation of the composite endpoint at EOT visit (defined as IFI and/or administration of alternative anti-fungal therapy). To assess the emergence or persistence of fungal colonization at EOT. To assess the level of organ dysfunction: Change in sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score over time, Need for re-intubation, Need for renal support, Need for vasopressor support, To assess the requirement for additional abdominal surgery/intervention. To investigate: All-cause mortality at 28 days and 90 days after end of study drug treatment; Organ failure-free days from Day 1 until 28 days after end of study drug treatment; Fungal-free survival up to 28 days after end of study drug treatment; ICU-free days from Day 1 until 28 days after end of study drug treatment To assess resource use and health-related quality of life at the End of Study (EOS) visit. To assess the safety of micafungin when used as pre-emptive treatment.;Primary end point(s): Incidence of invasive fungal infection Time to invasive fungal infection
