A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Clinical Trial Comparing Itraconazole Oral Solution in Cyclodextrin to Placebo in the Treatment of Aspergilloma

To compare the safety and effectiveness of itraconazole oral solution to placebo in the treatment of a pulmonary aspergilloma.

Patients are randomly selected to receive itraconazole oral solution by mouth or the inactive placebo (oral cyclodextrin solution) twice daily for 12 months.
