Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
All-Cause Mortality (US FDA Only)
The number and percentage of subjects in each treatment group who are alive and deceased (or with missing data) in the mITT population.
Day 30 (-2 days)
Global Response as Assessed by Data Review Committee (EU European Medicines Agency [EMA] Only)
The number and percentage of subjects in each treatment group who have a global response of cure (clinical cure as assessed by the Investigator, radiological cure \[for qualifying invasive candidiasis subjects at baseline\], and mycological eradication, as confirmed by the Data Review Committee \[DRC\]), failure and indeterminate in the mITT population. A global response of cure is indicative of an efficacious outcome and the desired result, whereas a response of failure is indicative of a non-efficacious outcome and the undesired response. Indeterminate responses indicate there was not enough data obtained to determine if the response was cure or failure. Definitions for the global responses of cure, failure, and indeterminate are complex. Detailed definitions for the possible responses to this outcome measure type are provided in Table 7 (Global Response) of the clinical protocol.

Study Arms (2)
Group 1: Rezafungin for Injection
EXPERIMENTALSubjects in Rezafungin treatment group will receive a 400 mg loading dose in Week 1, followed by 200 mg once weekly, for a total of 2 to 4 doses. Daily intravenous placebo infusions, when not administered Rezafungin and a daily placebo for oral step-down therapy (first eligibility on Day 4 or later as advised by a site's national/regional/local guidelines) administered every day.
Group 2: Caspofungin
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects in caspofungin arm will receive a total treatment of ≥14 days beginning with a single caspofungin 70 mg IV loading dose on Day 1 followed by 50 mg IV once daily up to 28 days. After ≥3 days of caspofungin treatment(or the minimum duration of IV therapy advised by the site's national/regional/local guidelines, whichever is greater), subjects may be switched to oral fluconazole if specific parameters are met. If the subject qualifies, then oral step-down therapy of fluconazole (6 mg/kg to the nearest 200 mg) is administered. After switch to oral step down before Day 8, subjects in the caspofungin group will receive IV placebo on Day 8 to preserve the study blind.

- Males or females ≥18 years of age.
- Established mycological diagnosis of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis from a sample taken ≤4 days (96 hours) before randomization defined as
- ≥1 blood culture positive for yeast or Candida OR

Male subjects must be vasectomized, abstain from sexual intercourse, or agree to use barrier contraception, and also agree not to donate sperm while participating in the study and for 90 days thereafter (and at least 120 days from the last dose of study drug).

- Chronic disseminated candidiasis
- Urinary tract candidiasis due to ascending Candida infection secondary to obstruction or surgical instrumentation of the urinary tract
- Received systemic treatment with an antifungal agent at approved doses for treatment of candidemia for \>48 hours (e.g., \>2 doses of a once daily antifungal agent or \>4 doses of a twice daily antifungal agent) ≤4 days (96 hours) before randomization
- a. Exception: Receipt of antifungal therapy to which any Candida spp. isolated in culture is not susceptible
- Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase levels \>10-fold the upper limit of normal
- Severe hepatic impairment in subjects with a history of chronic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh score \>9)
- Presence of an indwelling vascular catheter or device that cannot be removed or an abscess that cannot be drained and is likely to be the source of candidemia or invasive candidiasis
- Known hypersensitivity to Rezafungin for Injection, caspofungin, any echinocandin, or to any of their excipients
- Meets National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5, criteria for ataxia, tremor, motor neuropathy, or sensory neuropathy of Grade 2 or higher
