Editor's Pick SusceptibilityRezafungin In Vitro Activity against Contemporary Nordic Clinical Candida Isolates and Candida auris Determined by the EUCAST Reference MethodRezafungin (formerly CD101) is a novel echinocandin in clinical development. EUCAST epidemiological cutoff values (ECOFFs) have not yet been established. We determined the in vitro activity of rezafungin and comparators against 1,293 Nordic yeast isolates and 122 Indian Candida auris isolates and established single-center wild-type upper limits (WT-UL). The...
Experimental TherapeuticsDetermination of Pharmacodynamic Target Exposures for Rezafungin against Candida tropicalis and Candida dubliniensis in the Neutropenic Mouse Disseminated Candidiasis ModelRezafungin (CD101) is a novel echinocandin under development for once-weekly intravenous (i.v.) dosing. We evaluated the pharmacodynamics (PD) of rezafungin against 4 Candida tropicalis and 4 Candida dubliniensis strains, using the neutropenic mouse invasive candidiasis model. The area under the...
Experimental TherapeuticsExtended-Interval Dosing of Rezafungin against Azole-Resistant Aspergillus fumigatusWe evaluated extended-interval dosing of the investigational echinocandin rezafungin (1, 4, and 16 mg/kg on days 1, 4, and 7 postinoculation) for the treatment of disseminated invasive aspergillosis caused by azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus. Survival was significantly improved in mice treated with each dose of rezafungin and supratherapeutic posaconazole (20 mg/...
MinireviewEchinocandins for the Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis: from Laboratory to BedsideEchinocandins (caspofungin, micafungin, anidulafungin), targeting β-1,3-glucan synthesis of the cell wall, represent one of the three currently available antifungal drug classes for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. Despite their limited antifungal activity against Aspergillus spp., echinocandins are considered an alternative option for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis (IA).
