Key Attributes

  • Activity against: Candida spp.; Aspergillus

spp.; Pneumocystis spp.; Endemic fungi

  • Active against azole-R and Candin-R strains
  • Oral formulations
  • Enhanced activity at low PH
  • Large tissue distribution (Human Vdss > 8 L/kg)
  • No Preclinical fetal Toxicity
  • Favorable safety profile > 700 exposed
  • Low risk of drug-drug Interactions

Novel Glucan Synthase Inhibitor (GSI)

Structurally distinct from other GSIs (echinocandins)

  • Different enzyme-drug interaction

→ lower impact of common FKS mutations

  • Oral bioavailability

Ibrexafungerp- 204 (DOVE): Study Objectives

  • Primary Objectives:
  • To identify the recommended dose of oral ibrexafungerp in

subjects with moderate to severe acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (aVVC) by comparing the efficacy of different dose levels and dosing regimens of oral ibrexafungerp

  • Secondary Objectives:
  • To evaluate the efficacy of oral ibrexafungerp in subjects

with aVVC based on mycological and clinical outcomes

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of different dose

levels and dosing regimens of oral ibrexafungerp in subjects with aVVC

DOVE Study Design

Key Inclusions: ✓ Moderate to severe VVC (signs and symptoms of ≥7) ✓ KOH + ✓ pH <4.5 ~30 patients per arm Primary population for analysis mITT = Culture-confirmed VVC

  • Key Endpoints:
  • At Test-of-Cure (T.O.C.) and Follow-up visit (F.U.)
  • Clinical Cure (Signs and Symptoms = 0)
  • Significant improvement (Signs and Symptoms = 0 or 1)
  • Mycological eradication (negative culture for yeast)
  • Use of rescue antifungal treatment
  • Safety and tolerability
  • 186 subjects enrolled

Signs and Symptoms [S&S] score defined as a composite endpoint of the subject’s reported symptoms (burning, itching and irritation) and the investigator’s assessed signs (swelling, redness and excoriations). Each sign and symptom can be absent, mild, moderate or severe, with a corresponding score from 0 to 3. The total composite scale goes from 0 to 18 points.
