Brief summary

This study is a post-approval commitment study, and is designed to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of isavuconazole in a relatively larger Chinese population who will receive isavuconazole treatment in a post-marketing setting. This is a single arm, prospective, multi-center study. This study is seeking Chinese patients with proven, probable or possible Invasive Fungal Disease (IFD) caused by Aspergillus species or other filamentous fungi. All the participants will receive isavuconazole treatment. The longest treatment duration in this study is 84 days (up to 180 days for participants diagnosed with IM). The primary objective is to characterize the safety and tolerability of isavuconazole through observing the treatment emergent adverse events.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

All-cause mortality rate was defined as the percentage of participants with all-cause mortality (known deaths \[actual\] and unknown deaths \[not actual but treated as deaths\]) among the overall number of participants analyzed.
All-cause Mortality Rate Through Day 84After first dose of study intervention (Day 1) through Day 84All-cause mortality included any death that occurred after first dose of study drug through Day 84 as following: a) known deaths: any death that occurred after first dose of study intervention through Day 84 and b) unknown (not actual deaths but the numbers were used in calculating all-cause mortality rate): participant was censored and was included in the reported data for this outcome measure if participant's survival status was missing or the last known alive date was before Day 84. All-cause mortality rate was defined as the percentage of participants with all-cause mortality (known deaths \[actual\] and unknown deaths \[not actual but treated as deaths\]) among the overall number of participants analyzed.
