Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of oral SCY-078 vs. standard-of-care following initial intravenous echinocandin therapy in the treatment of invasive candidiasis.

Detailed description

Patients will receive initial intravenous (IV) echinocandin therapy. Patients who are eligible for randomization will receive SCY-078 500-mg orally, SCY-078 750-mg orally, or standard-of-care.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

A total of 27 participants were enrolled, two of whom failed to meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria and were considered screen failures. Among the 25 enrolled participants who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria, three were not randomized. Thus, 22 patients were randomized to receive SCY-078 500 mg or SCY-078 750 mg or standard-of-care.
