Percentage of Participants with A Response at End of Treatment (EOT) - Success of Therapy (SOT) | ||||||||||
End point description |
For systemic candidiasis (SC) participants, SOT was determined by survival associated with negative Candida test results of 2 consecutive blood cultures, completed at start of treatment, or resolution of clinical & laboratory symptoms together with reduction of mannan antigen blood level (MABL) (<125 pg/ml). For Candida meningitis (CM), SOT was determined by survival associated with negative Candida test results of at least 2 consecutive CSF cultures, completed at start of treatment and resolution of clinical & lab symptoms. For hydrocephalus due to Candida infection (CI) and/or external ventricular derivation (EVD), SOT was determined by survival associated with negative Candida test results of at least 2 consecutive CSF cultures, completed at start of treatment. The analysis population consisted of the SAF (only participants that completed 14 days of treatment), 20 participants completed treatment and 16 had SOT.

Percentage of Participants with A Response at EOT - Failure of Therapy (FOT) | ||||||||||
End point description |
For SC participants, FOT was determined by death due to Candida sepsis, by confirmation of persistence of positive Candida test results from 1 blood culture completed by need to add/switch to another antifungal agent (AA) and/or change of micafungin dose for resolution of infection at any time or by the persistence of Candida colonization in different indicated sites associated with persistence of clinical & lab symptoms & with high (MABL) (≥ 125 pg/ml). For CM, FOT was determined by death due to CM, by persistence of CI from confirmation of positive CSF culture or by need to add/switch to another AA or dose change of micafungin for resolution of CI at any time. For hydrocephalus due to CI and/or EVD, FOT was determined by death due to CI, by need to add/switch to another AA or dose change of micafungin for resolution of CI at any time or by persistence of CI as from confirmation of positive CSF culture. SAF (those that completed 14 days of treatment (20)), 4 had FOT.

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug or who had undergone study procedures which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. This included abnormal laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram data or physical examinations that were defined as AEs if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, required active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study drug or was clinically significant in the investigator's opinion. The following standard with 3 grades was used to measure the severity of AEs, including abnormal clinical laboratory values: ● Mild: No disruption of normal daily activities ● Moderate: Affected normal daily activities ● Severe: Inability to perform daily activities. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the test drug/comparative drug. The analysis population consisted of the SAF.

25 May 2015 |
The changes include:
● Changed the cutoff for positive mannan antigen test results from 250 to 125 pg/mL
● Specified that absence of Candida growth in case of Candida meningitis, hydrocephalus due to Candida infection and/or external ventricular derivation could be based on negative results from 2 instead of 3 consecutive CSF cultures
● Changed the age of patients to be enrolled from 90 to 180 days and specified the age calculation based on gestational age.
● Specified that at least 4 neonates with Candida meningitis, hydrocephalus due to Candida infection and/or external ventricular derivation were to be enrolled
● Updated the exclusion criteria
● Allowed patient to start study drug administration as soon as possible after screening rather than the day of screening
● Added anthropometric parameters at birth as a screening/baseline evaluation |
||
13 Sep 2017 |
The changes include:
● Updated contact information of sponsor and contract research organization
● Clarified that neonates with Candida meningitis, hydrocephalus due to Candida infection and/or external ventricular derivation would only be included if available during the enrollment period
● Added in vitro susceptibility testing of the collected Candida spp isolates to determine the MIC for micafungin
● Extended the trial end date
● Updated the information on labeling of primary and secondary packages and syringes
● Updated the information on the reporting of SAEs |
