An Interventional Efficacy and Safety Phase 3 Double-blind 2-arm Study to Investigate IV Followed by Oral Fosmanogepix Compared With IV Caspofungin Followed by Oral Fluconazole in Adult Participants With Candidemia and/or Invasive Candidiasis

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Fosmanogepix) for the potential treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis, a life-threatening fungal infection caused by several species of yeast called Candida.
The study is seeking patients who have a diagnosis of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis.
Two-thirds of all patients will receive the study medication fosmanogepix Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fosmanogepix tablets. One-third of all patients will receive a standard of care regimen of caspofungin Intravenous (IV) infusion followed by optional fluconazole capsules.
Fosmanogepix or caspofungin will first be given as an Intravenous (IV) infusion directly into a vein in the arm each day at the study clinic. Fosmanogepix tablets or fluconazole capsules will be taken orally by mouth daily either at the study clinic, or at home if patients are well enough to be discharged from the hospital.
The treatment effect in patients receiving fosmanogepix to those receiving caspofungin/ fluconazole will be compared. The primary aim is to show that fosmanogepix is not inferior (not worse) to caspofungin/ fluconazole with a noninferiority margin of 15%.
The duration of study treatment and number of study visits will vary depending on how long the patient will be treated for the infection. Treatment will continue for a maximum of 6 weeks depending on when the infection is cleared and whether other symptoms related to the infection have improved. There will also be a follow-up visit 6 weeks after the study treatment was stopped.

A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose, Parallel Cohort Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fosmanogepix (PF 07842805) in Adult Participants With Varying Degrees of Hepatic Impairment

The primary purpose of this open-label study is to characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of manogepix (active moiety of fosmanogepix) in participants with varying degrees of hepatic function following administration of a single oral dose of fosmanogepix.
All participants will receive 1 dose of fosmanogepix by mouth before breakfast on the first day at the study clinic. Serial blood samples will be collected to understand how fosmanogepix is changed and eliminated from the body. Participants will also receive physical examination and other tests. This will help to understand if fosmanogepix is safe.
Participants will be involved in this study for 4 to 9 weeks (maximum). There will be 2 to 4 study visits at the study clinic.

Two cases of fungemia due to Lomentospora prolificans in haematological patients with different outcome

Article

Author: Castellano-Sánchez, Leticia ; Navarro-Marí, José María ; Ortega-Gavilán, Mª Carmen ; Cobo, Fernando ; González-Sierra, Pedro Antonio

Lomentospora prolificans is an uncommon cause of invasive fungal disease, but it is associated with high mortality because it is difficult to treat. Most of severe cases are produced in immunossupressed patients, especially in those with neutropenia and/or hematological malignancies. Resistance to the majority of antifungal agents can be still observed. Here we report two cases of L. prolificans fungemia with different outcome, since in one of these patients treatment with one of the new antifungals could be applied. Both patients were treated with different antifungal drugs, but only the second one survived due to therapy with fosmanogepix®. The current treatment is still based on a combination of conventional antifungal drugs, although in much cases this strategy is not sufficient. The introduction of new promising antifungal agents such as fosmanogepix® and olorofim® may open new perspectives in the treatment of invasive infections caused by L. prolificans, as in our patient.

Update on diagnosis and treatment of fungal meningitis: lessons from recent outbreaks

Review

Author: Beltran-Reyes, Paula ; Ostrosky-Zeichner, Luis ; Gonzalez-Lara, Maria F.

Purpose of reviewRecently, fungal meningitis outbreaks have occurred in association with neuraxial and epidural anesthesia in immunocompetent patients. Herein, we describe the course of those outbreaks, their diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and lessons learned.Recent findingsTwo outbreaks of Fusarium solani meningitis during 2022–2023 were associated with epidural anesthesia in two distant cities in Mexico (Durango and Matamoros). The initial etiological agent identification was delayed due to insensitivity of cultures. A Fusarium solani qPCR was validated and positive in 38% cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from Durango, while BD-Glucan allowed early diagnosis of the index case in Matamoros. Antifungal treatment with voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) was recommended. Overall mortality was 51%. Once the cause was confirmed, some patients received fosmanogepix.SummaryFungal meningitis outbreaks due to filamentous fungi are usually associated with direct epidural inoculation. They result in severe presentations and high mortality. Early diagnosis should be suspected, BD-Glucan CSF testing screening is recommended. Aggressive antifungal treatment based on antifungal susceptibility testing should be administered as early as possible. The advent of molecular diagnostic methods and new antifungal drugs may allow for timely diagnosis and treatment, increasing the chances of survival.

Reassessment of the role of combination antifungal therapy in the current era

Review

Author: Neoh, Chin Fen ; Slavin, Monica A.

Purpose of reviewGiven the high mortality and morbidity associated with invasive fungal diseases (IFDs), the use of combination antifungal therapies is often considered despite the dearth of data. This review aims to summarize the current state of literature of combination antifungal therapies, discussing the potential roles of newer antifungal combinations and key considerations for their clinical use.Recent findingsIn infections other than cryptococcal meningitis or in the setting of empirical treatment for suspected azole-resistant Aspergillus infections, the utility of the combination antifungal approaches remains controversial given the paucity of well designed randomized controlled trials. Data on potential combined antifungal treatments have been primarily limited to in-vitro studies, animal models, case reports and/or observational studies. With availability of novel antifungal agents (e.g. ibrexafungerp, fosmanogepix), combination therapy to treat mould infections should be re-visited. A phase 2 clinical trial of ibrexafungerp combined with voriconazole to treat invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is on-going.SummaryThere is a need to investigate the use of combination antifungal agents. This includes delineating the indication of these combined antifungal therapies and determining how to use them most appropriately in the clinical setting.

Basilea initiates clinical phase 3 study with antifungal fosmanogepix in candidemia and invasive candidiasis

Allschwil, Switzerland, September 24, 2024 Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd, Allschwil (SIX: BSLN), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to meeting the needs of patients with severe bacterial and fungal infections, announced today that it has initiated the Fosmanogepix Against Standard-of-care Treatment in Invasive Candidiasis (FAST-IC) phase 3 study. This registrational study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Basilea’s broad-spectrum antifungal fosmanogepix in the treatment of adult patients with candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis, that is Candida yeast bloodstream or deep-seated tissue infections.1 Fosmanogepix is a first-in-class antifungal treatment candidate with a novel mechanism of action. It is available in intravenous and oral formulations and has been evaluated for efficacy and safety in a phase 1 / phase 2 program, including three open-label phase 2 studies for the treatment of Candidemia, including Candida auris, and invasive mold infections.2, 3, 4, 5 Dr. Marc Engelhardt, Chief Medical Officer of Basilea, said: “We are very pleased to have activated the first study center in the phase 3 program for fosmanogepix and look forward to enrolling patients into FAST-IC. Invasive Candida infections are life-threatening complications for many hospitalized patients and associated with high mortality, and fosmanogepix offers a potential new treatment option in this high medical need area. In addition, we are working towards starting the second phase 3 study investigating fosmanogepix in the treatment of adult patients with invasive mold infections around year-end.” FAST-IC is a global, multi-center, randomized, active-controlled, double-blind phase 3 study and investigates intravenous (i.v.) fosmanogepix versus a standard-of-care regimen of i.v. caspofungin in adult patients with candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis. The study is expected to enroll approximately 450 patients, who will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either fosmanogepix or caspofungin. There is an optional oral switch to fosmanogepix in the fosmanogepix group and to fluconazole in the caspofungin group. The Swiss-based global company PSI CRO AG will manage the phase 3 program. Basilea acquired fosmanogepix from Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an affiliate of Pfizer Inc., in November 2023. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, Basilea assumed all rights and obligations from previous agreements, and will make a USD 6.0 million milestone payment under these obligations, upon the enrolment of the first patient, which is fully reflected in Basilea’s most recent financial guidance for the full year 2024. This project has been funded in part with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); Administration of Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR); Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under OT number: 75A50124C00033. The contract and federal funding are not an endorsement of the study results, product, or company. About fosmanogepix Fosmanogepix is a clinical-stage broad-spectrum antifungal. It has a novel mechanism of action and its active moiety has shown activity against common species of Candida and Aspergillus, including multi-drug-resistant strains, such as Candida auris and Candida glabrata, as well as rare difficult-to-treat molds including Fusarium spp., Scedosporium spp., and some fungi from the Mucorales order.2 Fosmanogepix intravenous and oral formulations have been evaluated in clinical phase 2 studies for the treatment of patients with Candidemia, including Candida auris, and invasive mold infections.2 Fosmanogepix has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations from the US Food and Drug Administration for seven separate indications, and is designated as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP). About invasive mold infections Invasive aspergillosis and invasive infections with rare molds (e.g., Fusarium spp., Scedosporium spp., and Mucorales fungi) are life-threatening infections that predominantly affect immunocompromised patients, including patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancer), transplant patients, or patients with other immunodeficiency disorders. These infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality.6, 7 About invasive candidiasis Invasive candidiasis, including deep-seated tissue candidiasis and candidemia, is an increasingly important nosocomial infection, especially in patients hospitalized in intensive care units. Candida species are ranked as the fourth main cause of bloodstream infections in hospitals in the US.8 The prognosis of invasive candidiasis remains difficult, with a reported mortality rate as high as 40%, even when patients receive antifungal therapy.9 About Basilea Basilea is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Switzerland. We are committed to discovering, developing and commercializing innovative drugs to meet the needs of patients with severe bacterial and fungal infections. We have successfully launched two hospital brands, Cresemba for the treatment of invasive fungal infections and Zevtera for the treatment of bacterial infections. In addition, we have preclinical and clinical anti-infective assets in our portfolio. Basilea is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX: BSLN). Please visit basilea.com.

Basilea scores $268M BARDA funding deal to work on antifungals, antibiotics

In the near term, Basilea Pharmaceutica will get $29 million to develop its antifungals fosmanogepix and BAL2062. Basilea Pharmaceutica’s work developing new antifungals has received a significant boost from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which has signed off on up to $268 million of funding to the Swiss company over more than a decade.The agreement with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) will see the funding spread over up to 12 years to “support the development of designated novel, first-in-class antifungals and antibacterials in Basilea’s portfolio,” the company explained in a Sept. 19 release. Receiving the full $268 million will be dependent on Basilea hitting a series of clinical and regulatory milestones as well as BARDA choosing to extend the contract.In the near term, the company will get $29 million to develop its antifungals fosmanogepix and BAL2062. The biotech is lining up fosmanogepix—which originates at Amplyx Pharmaceuticals but which Basilea acquired from Pfizer last year—for a phase 3 trial in invasive yeast infections, while BAL2062—which was bought from Gravitas Therapeutics—has completed a phase 1 safety study and is being aimed at molds like Aspergillus.The nature of the funding agreement means BARDA and Basilea can together decide which candidates to move in and out of the remit “based on product performance, technical risk, and programmatic need.” Basilea’s relationship with BARDA stretches back to 2013 when the agency committed $89 million in funding toward the antibiotic BAL30072—although the biotech went on to scrap the candidate three years later.Basilea CEO David Veitch said today’s agreement “will be leveraging our strong portfolio and the capabilities of our organization to develop urgently needed novel antifungals and antibacterials.”“We believe this long-term partnership will also lead to the successful implementation of our strategy to become a leading anti-infectives company,” Veitch added.Basilea currently markets Cresemba for invasive fungal infections and Zevtera for bacterial infections. The low return on investment means many of the biggest biopharmas have given up working on new antifungals or antibiotics in recent years—although GSK in particular has continued to sign deals and post encouraging clinical results against infections like gonorrhea.Meanwhile, Basilea has swum against the tide, pivoting away from cancer toward anti-infectives last year.
