Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of definite IA outside the pulmonary system or definite or probable pulmonary IA
  • Life expectancy: greater than 72 hours

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant female
  • Hypersensitivity to anidulafungin or echinocandin therapy
  • Hypersensitivity to Tween 80 (polysorbate 80) or tartaric acid
  • Hypersensitivity to amphotericin B deoxycholate or any other constituents of AmBisome unless, in the opinion of the investigator, the benefit of therapy outweighs the risk.
  • Aspergilloma-in the absence of invasive disease
  • Abnormal blood chemistries:

Bilirubin > 3 times the upper limit of normal; AST (aspartate aminotransferase) or ALT (alanine aminotransferase)> 5 times the upper limit of normal

  • Greater than five days of therapeutic doses of systemic therapy for the current Aspergillus-associated condition or a cumulative dose of more than 5 mg/Kg of amphotericin, more than 25 mg/Kg of a lipid formulation of amphotericin, or more than 2g of itraconazole for the current condition.
