Study Will Evaluate The Safety And Efficacy Of Anidulafungin In Patients With Candidemia Or Invasive Candidiasis

Summary

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous anidulafungin (Eraxis™) in patients with a diagnosis of candidemia or invasive candidiasis, which is a fungus infection of the blood or tissue. Currently the drug is approved for treatment using a daily dose of IV medication until 14 days after the fungus disappears from the blood. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous anidulafungin when it is administered for 5-28 days followed by oral antifungal medication. Study patients will be assessed for response to treatment throughout the study drug treatment period.
