High Unmet Medical Need in Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis (IA)
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious and life-threatening invasive fungal infection that occurs primarily in
severely immunocompromised patients with hematological malignancies and transplant recipients
~15,000 new cases per year in the U.S. alone
WHO, CDC, and FDA consider IA a critical priority and a global public health concern
• IDSA Guidelines recommend treatment with mold-active azoles as first-line treatment for 6-12 weeks

Azole use requires significant expertise to manage toxicities and significant drug-drug interactions that often limits
duration of use
Resistance to azoles has been increasing globally
Recently, cases of breakthrough IA have been reported in patients receiving antifungal prophylaxis
Failures attributed to non-compliance, poor absorption, DDIs, or infection with a drug-resistant Aspergillus species
Patients suffering from IA with little or no treatment options among the highest unmet medical need with
approximately 3,000-5,000 cases per year (U.S. only)
