4 Significant Mortality Due to IFIs in Immunocompromised 90 day mortality % by patient category 1 Bone marrow transplant HSCT 63% Hematologic malignancy 52% Solid tumor General medicine 40% 38% Surgical (nontransplant) HIV/AIDS Solid organ transplant 26% 24% 23% 1 The PATH (Prospective Antifungal Therapy) Alliance registry and invasive fungal infections: update 2012 (2012).

5 Increasing Complexity of Immunocompromised Hosts Host and Macroenvironment ISSUES Older patients More comorbidities Chronic immunosuppression Novel biologics Shifting epidemiology Azole-resistant Aspergillus Flu-resistant Candida Antifungal Therapies ISSUES Drug-Drug Interactions GI Intolerance Hepatotoxicity Nephrotoxicity QT prolongation Bone marrow suppression Allergy Underdosing/TDM

6 : A Better Echinocandin. A Better Antifungal. Structural modification yields improved chemical & biological properties Designed for prolonged PK Designed for high exposures Eliminates toxic degradation products Enables multiple formulations once weekly dosing in clinical studies potential for improved efficacy vs Candida and Aspergillus infections potential for improved safety intravenous; subcutaneous under development ICAAC 2015
