Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Success at Day 180: Percent of Responders (Randomization Strata)
Day 180 (Visit 9)

Percent of responders (by randomization strata) with success of antifungal prophylaxis at 180 days after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Success: alive at Day 180 (Visit 9), had not developed a breakthrough proven or probable invasive fungal infection (IFI) by Visit 9, and received full course of study drug prophylaxis without interruption of greater than 14 days in total during the prophylaxis period; defined as failure if these criteria were not met. Additionally, if subject withdrew from study completely before Visit 9, imputed as failure at Visit 9 (programmatically).

Vfend (voriconazole) has been evaluated in Phase 3 clinical development for antifungal prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections. The Phase 3 trial in this setting is completed, and no trials for this indication are currently active. Voriconazole is a small molecule antifungal agent.

What clinical trials is Vfend (voriconazole) in?

Vfend (voriconazole) was studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT00289991, titled Voriconazole Versus Itraconazole In Primary Prophylaxis Of Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) In Subjects With Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants (HSCT). The trial enrolled 489 participants, was randomized and active controlled, and is completed. It ran in Canada, Czechia, Egypt, France, Greece, Jordan, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Is Vfend the same as voriconazole?
