Mundipharma announces patient enrolment completion in Phase III ReSPECT clinical trial for REZZAYO ® (rezafungin)

Mundipharma today announced completion of patient enrolment for the ongoing, global Phase III ReSPECT trial evaluating REZZAYO^® (rezafungin).

The ReSPECT trial is a global, randomised, double-blind, controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial of rezafungin versus the standard antimicrobial regimen to prevent invasive fungal disease due to Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis in subjects undergoing allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation.

“Completing patient enrolment for the Phase III ReSPECT study marks a key milestone in addressing the unmet need for antifungal prevention in immunosuppressed patients,” said Dr Yuri Martina, Chief Development and Medical Officer at Mundipharma. “Patients have enrolled in this global study from more than 50 clinical trial centres across seven countries. We look forward to the clinical evidence that this study will produce.”
