About this study

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-comparator, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for a subset of subjects) of oral SCY-078 in male and female subjects ≥18 years of age with a documented Candida auris infection. Patients will be treated with SCY-078 for up to 90 days.

Subjects must have a documented candidiasis, including candidemia, caused by Candida auris to be considered for enrollment. Subjects are also eligible if they are receiving intravenous (IV) antifungal therapy for their C. auris infection and, in the judgment of the investigator, continued IV antifungal therapy is not feasible or desirable due to clinical or logistical circumstances. Subjects must meet all study criteria to be eligible for inclusion. Inclusion of each subject in the study must be approved by the Sponsor prior to enrollment.

Following a screening visit , there will be up to 11 treatment visits, a follow-up visit and 2 follow-up contacts (survival visits)

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject must fulfill the following KEY criteria to be eligible for study admission:
  • Subject is a male or female adult ≥ 18 years of age on the day the study informed consent form (ICF) is signed.
  • Subject has a documented candidiasis, including candidemia, caused by Candida auris. The subject is also eligible if he/she is receiving IV antifungal therapy for their C. auris infection and, in the judgment of the investigator, long-term IV antifungal therapy is not feasible or desirable due to clinical or logistical circumstances. A documented candidiasis, including candidemia, caused by Candida auris is defined as the recovery of Candida auris by culture of a sample obtained within the last 7 days.
  • Subject is able to tolerate medication orally or through a nasogastric (NG) tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.

Exclusion criteria

  • KEY exclusion criteria:
  • Subject has a fungal disease with central nervous system involvement.
  • Subject has a fungal disease of the bone and/or joint that is expected to require >90 days of study drug treatment.
  • Subject has an inappropriately controlled fungal infection source (e.g., persistent catheters, devices, identified abscess) that is likely the source of the fungal infection.
  • Subject is hemodynamically unstable and/or requiring vasopressor medication for blood pressure support.
  • Subject has abnormal liver test parameters: AST or ALT >10 x ULN, and/or total bilirubin >5 x ULN. Note: Subjects with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia with diagnosis of Gilbert's disease are not excluded.
  • Subject has an Apache score >16.
  • Subject has serum creatinine >3 times from Baseline (Screening/Treatment Day 1) value.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Global Success at End of Treatment as Determined by the Data Monitoring Committee

    Time frame: At (EoT) Visit (up to 90 days after Day 1)

    The percentage of participants with global success at End of Treatment (EoT) as determined by the Data Monitoring Committee. Global success is defined as complete or partial resolution of signs and symptoms associated with the fungal disease and mycological eradication.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: Through study completion, up to 132 days

    Percent of participants with treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

  2. Number of Participants Discontinued Due to Adverse Events

    Time frame: Through study completion (up to 132 Days)

    Number of participants with Discontinuations due to Adverse Events

  3. Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Baseline Fungal Infection

    Time frame: 42 Days after the End of Treatment visit

    The percentage of participants with a recurrence of the baseline fungal infection at the 6 week follow-up

  4. Percentage of Participants Surviving 42 and 84 Days

    Time frame: Day 42 and Day 84 after first dose of study drug

    Percentage of participants Surviving at Day 42 and Day 84 after Day 1 (first dose of study drug)
