Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant has proven or probable IPA according to the modified 2019 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/ Mycoses Study Group Education and Research Consortium (EORTC/MSGERC) consensus definitions or according to the 2010 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) consensus statements for the definitions of infections in cardiothoracic transplant recipients.
  2. Participant's IPA has failed to respond to adequate antifungal therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant with a known or suspected concomitant medical condition or post-surgery complication that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize adherence to the protocol requirements or impede the accurate measurement of efficacy or may be an unacceptable additional risk to the Participant should he/she participate in the study.
  2. Participant who has previously received PC945.
  3. Participant with a known history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or any previous serious reaction to any component of the PC945 or placebo formulations.
  4. Participant who has recently received, is receiving or due to receive at any time during the study, an investigational medicinal agent that does not have any regulatory approved indications. Subjects who are participating in any other trials e.g., Observational, diagnostic or using medications with an approved indication may be allowed to participate after consultation with the sponsor on an individual basis

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Alive With Favorable Overall Response as Assessed by the Data Review Committee (DRC)
Time Frame: At Day 84
Favorable overall response was defined as being alive and having a complete or partial overall response at Day 84 as determined by the DRC. Complete or partial response was defined by the Classification and Criteria for the Assessment of Overall Response, adapted from Segal, 2008.
At Day 84

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Favorable Overall Response
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks (Day 84)
Favorable overall response was defined as having a complete or partial overall response at at any time during the 12-week treatment where the survival component was not included as a part of the response definition. Complete or partial response was defined by the Classification and Criteria for the Assessment of Overall Response, adapted from Segal, 2008.
up to 12 weeks (Day 84)
Time to Favorable Overall Response
Time Frame: up to Day 42 or Day 84
Time to favorable overall response was defined as the time from randomization to the first favorable overall response (complete or partial response). Complete or partial response was defined by the Classification and Criteria for the Assessment of Overall Response, adapted from Segal, 2008.
up to Day 42 or Day 84
All-cause Mortality
Time Frame: From First Dose of Study Treatment up to Week 16 (Safety Follow-up)
All-cause mortality was defined as death from any cause.
From First Dose of Study Treatment up to Week 16 (Safety Follow-up)
