safety and efficacy of oral ibrexafungerp (scy-078) vs. oral fluconazole in subjects with vulvovaginal candidiasis

Conditions: Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Summary: this is a randomized, multicenter, evaluator blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of scy-078 compared to fluconazole in adult patients with moderate to severe vulvovaginal candidiasis (vvc) and a history of frequent episodes of vvc. approximately 90 subjects, meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the 3 treatment arms: oral scy-078 in 2 dose regimens or oral fluconazole. after enrollment, subjects will be evaluated on day-5 (end of treatment visit), day-24 (test of cure visit), day-60, day 90 and day 120 (end of observation period visit) or at any time that a recurrence or clinical failure is suspected, up to the end of observation period.

this is a randomized, multicenter, evaluator blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of scy-078 compared to fluconazole in adult patients, from 18 to 65 years of age, with moderate to severe vulvovaginal candidiasis (vvc) and a history of frequent episodes of vvc. approximately 90 subjects, meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the 3 treatment arms: oral scy-078 does regimen 1, or oral scy-078 does regimen 2, or oral fluconazole. after enrollment, subjects will be evaluated on day-5 (end of treatment visit), day-24 (test of cure visit), day-60, day 90 and day 120 (end of observation period visit) or at any time that a recurrence or clinical failure is suspected, up to the end of observation period. primary objectives: \* to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dosing regimens of oral scy-078 in subjects with moderate to severe vulvovaginal candidiasis (vvc) secondary objectives: \* to estimate the effect of oral scy-078 therapy in the rate and time to recurrence in subjects with a history of frequent episodes of vvc
