Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be Global Success (complete and partial response) at 6 weeks based on the combination of clinical, mycological and radiologic response. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Global Success (GS) at Wk 12, Favorable response (FR) & survival at Wks 6 & 12. GS and FR by infection site, overall frequency of emergent & recurrent fungal infections at Wks 6 & 12, duration of FR, and relationship of galactomannan to clinical outcome | — |
