---|---|
Experimental: Group 1
Subjects in the CD101 IV treatment group 1 (Part A Only - up to 30 mITT subjects) will receive CD101 IV 400 mg on Day 1 and Day 8, with an optional dose of 400 mg on Day 15 (for all subjects) and an optional dose of 400 mg on Day 22 (only for subjects with IC), if needed. Daily intravenous placebo infusion when not administered CD101. Daily oral placebo as step down. |
Drug: CD101
Intravenous antifungal therapy
Other Name: CD101 for Injection Drug: intravenous placebo normal saline
Other Name: placebo infusion Drug: oral placebo microcrystalline cellulose
Other Name: encapsulated cellulose |
Active Comparator: Group 3
Subjects in the caspofungin group will receive IV caspofungin (a single 70 mg loading dose on Day 1 followed by 50 mg once daily) for ≥3 days up to a maximum of 21 days for subjects with candidemia only and up to a maximum of 28 days for subjects with IC (with or without candidemia). After ≥3 days of IV therapy, subjects in the caspofungin group can be switched to oral step-down therapy of fluconazole (a loading dose of 800 mg [4 capsules] on the first day followed by 400 mg [2 capsules]/day thereafter). After switch to oral step down before Day 8, subjects in the caspofungin group will receive IV placebo on Day 8 to preserve the study blind. |

- Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through Days 45-52 for subjects with candidemia only or Days 52-59 for subjects with IC, with or without candidemia. ]Number of Subjects with Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events based on clinical chemistry, hematology and urine analysis laboratory test, vital sign, physical exams and ECG abnormalities.
- Resolution of Systemic Signs Attributable to Candidemia and/or Invasive Candidiasis and Mycological Eradication [Overall Success] [ Time Frame: Day 14 (± 1 day) ]Number of subjects with mycological eradication and complete resolution of all systemic signs of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis which were present at baseline
- Mycological Eradication and Resolution of Systemic Signs [ Time Frame: Day 5, and Follow-up (FU Days 45-52 for subjects with candidemia only or Days 52-59 for subjects with IC, with or without candidemia. ]Evaluate overall success signs (mycological eradication and resolution of systemic signs attributable to candidemia and/or IC) in the mITT population.
- Mycological Eradication [ Time Frame: Day 5, Day 14 (±1 day), and FU (Days 45-52 for subjects with candidemia only or Days 52-59 for subjects with IC, with or without candidemia) ]Evaluate mycological success (eradication) in the mITT population.
- Clinical Cure [ Time Frame: Day 14 (±1 day) and FU (Days 45-52 for subjects with candidemia only or Days 52-59 for subjects with IC, with or without candidemia). ]
Evaluate clinical cure as assessed by the Investigator in the mITT population. Subjects must meet all of the following requirements:
- Resolution of attributable systemic signs and symptoms of candidemia/IC that were present at baseline
- No new systemic signs or symptoms attributable to candidemia/IC
- No additional systemic antifungal therapy administered for candidemia/IC
- The subject is alive
- Evaluate PK (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Day 1, 10 minutes before end of infusion (EOI) ]Evaluate maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) (Part A only)
- Evaluate PK (Cmin) [ Time Frame: Day 8, predose ]Evaluate minimum plasma concentration (Cmin) (Part A only)
- Evaluate PK (Cmin) [ Time Frame: Day 15, predose ]Evaluate minimum plasma concentration (Cmin) (Part A only)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- mycological diagnosis of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis from a sample taken less than or equal to 96 hours before randomization (defined as: at least 1 blood culture positive for Candida or positive test for Candida from a sponsor approved rapid diagnostic test or positive gram stain for yeast or positive culture for Candida spp. from a specimen obtained from a normally sterile site)
