Fosmanogepix treatment for adults with invasive mold infections
An Interventional Phase 3, Open-label, Two-cohort Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Fosmanogepix in Adult Patients With Invasive Mold Infections Caused by Aspergillus Spp., Fusarium Spp., Lomentospora Prolificans, Mucorales Fungi, or Other Multidrug Resistant Molds
This trial tests whether fosmanogepix (given IV or as a pill) is safe and works to treat adults with invasive mold infections, either compared with usual antifungals or as a salvage option after other treatments fail.

What this trial studies
Adults with proven or probable invasive mold infections (including Aspergillus with limited options, Fusarium, Lomentospora prolificans, Mucorales, or other multidrug-resistant molds) are enrolled and assigned to one of two cohorts. Cohort A (primary therapy) receives either fosmanogepix or the site’s standard antifungal regimen, while Cohort B (salvage therapy) receives fosmanogepix after prior treatment failure or intolerance. Fosmanogepix is given intravenously or orally for a target of 84 days (which can be extended to 180 days) within a total study duration of about 8 months including follow-up. The primary outcome compares all-cause mortality at Day 42 against a fixed threshold to determine efficacy and safety.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults with proven or probable invasive mold infections caused by Aspergillus (with limited options), Fusarium, Lomentospora, Mucorales, or other multidrug-resistant molds who can undergo infection source control and meet other eligibility criteria.
Not a fit: Patients with refractory hematologic malignancy, chronic aspergillosis or aspergilloma, COVID-19–associated mucormycosis, those requiring dialysis, or with very poor performance status (Karnofsky <20) are excluded or unlikely to benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, fosmanogepix could provide a new treatment option for invasive and drug-resistant mold infections and potentially reduce deaths in these high-risk patients.
How similar studies have performed: Earlier phase trials and compassionate-use reports have shown promising antifungal activity of fosmanogepix against a range of molds, but large phase 3 evidence for invasive mold infections remains limited.
