In a phase 2 open-label, dose-ranging study in patients with candidemia, anidulafungin was effective in eradicating Candida albicans and other species of Candida. The anidulafungin MIC distribution showed that Candida albicans and C. glabrata were the most susceptible species and C. parapsilosis was the least susceptible species.
