What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
All-cause Mortality at Week 6 in Participants With Proven or Probable Invasive Aspergillosis
Number of deaths measured 6 weeks after start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 42 (Week 6)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Global Response at Week 6
Number of participants with a successful response (complete or partial global response). Complete response = resolution of all clinical signs and symptoms and >90% of lesions due to IA that were visible on radiologic studies at baseline (BL); partial response = clinical improvement and >50% improvement in radiological findings present at BL.
Measured: Baseline, Day 42 (Week 6)
All-cause Mortality at Week 6 in Participants With Possible, Probable, or Proven Invasive Aspergillosis (IA)
Number of deaths due to any cause measured 6 weeks after start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 42 (Week 6)
All-cause Mortality at Week 12 in Participants With Probable or Proven Invasive Aspergillosis (IA)
Number of deaths due to any cause measured 12 weeks after start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 84 (Week 12)
Mortality Due to Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) at Week 6 in Participants With Probable or Proven IA
Number of deaths due to Invasive Aspergillosis measured 6 weeks after start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 42 (Week 6)
Time to Death: All-Cause Mortality
Survival time from start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death due to any cause minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 84 (Week 12)
Time to Death Due to Invasive Aspergillosis (IA)
Survival time from start of treatment. Time to death defined as date of death due to IA minus first treatment date + 1.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 84 (Week 12)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing voriconazole and anidulafungin in people with Aspergillosis, run by Pfizer at 107 sites in 24 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 107 sites in United States, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and 19 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
All-cause Mortality at Week 6 in Participants With Proven or Probable Invasive Aspergillosis (time frame: Day 1 to Day 42 (Week 6)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00531479, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2012.
