The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with olorofim versus treatment with
AmBisome® followed by standard of care (SOC) in patients with IFD caused by proven IA or
probable lower respiratory tract disease Aspergillus species (invasive aspergillosis,
IA).

The mortality rate in immunosuppressed patients with IA is high even with effective
modern antifungal drug treatment. Intrinsic and acquired resistance to azoles and
amphotericin B, the two most effective classes of treatment, have been identified in
Aspergillus species and are linked to this increased mortality.
Currently marketed antifungal drugs have limitations including limited dosage forms,
DDIs, and significant adverse reactions.
For patients with IA who do not respond to or cannot tolerate a triazole therapy,
treatment options are even more limited.
Olorofim is an antifungal candidate with a novel mechanism of action offering activity
against resistant organisms, differences in safety profile, along with oral dosing,
predictable and reliable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and limited potential for DDIs.
The present study is designed to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of
olorofim with that of AmBisome® followed by guideline-based hierarchy standard of care
(SOC) in patients with IA whose infection is either refractory to or unsuitable for azole
therapy.
