About this trial
This study is an open-label, Phase 1b, dose-escalation/finding study to assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous BSG005 in patients with uncomplicated invasive fungal infections (IFI).
Approximately 15 patients are planned to be enrolled in 3 cohorts. The study will be conducted in 3 cohorts consisting of 3 periods, namely: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up periods. In each cohort, 5 patients are planned to be enrolled.
This study is a single-arm study. The treatment (BSG005) in each dose level will be administered once daily for 3 days via IV infusion. If the safety and tolerability profiles are acceptable at each dose level, the patients will be treated for a maximum of 28 days. Each patient will be in the study for up to 50 days, which consists of a 7-day Screening period, 1 day for baseline assessments, up to 28 days (maximum) of treatment with BSG005, and 14 days of follow-up.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18 years.
Able to provide written informed consent or have a legally authorized representative that can provide informed consent in case of incapacitation.
Diagnosed by Investigator to have an IFI.
IFI patients with mild to moderate renal impairment or IFI patients requiring an alternative treatment as current treatment cannot be continued due to any of the following
Disqualifiers
Patient has a known hypersensitivity or severe infusion-related reaction to any polyene drug.
Infection caused by a known or suspected organism with intrinsic resistance to AmB.
Concurrent use of another investigational agent within 30 days of enrollment.
