Drug used in other indications
REZZAYO (Rezafungin) Clinical Trials for Additional Indications
Based on the available information, there is no specific data indicating that REZZAYO (rezafungin for injection) is currently being trialed for indications beyond candidemia and invasive candidiasis.
While the medication has demonstrated in vitro activity against a broad range of Candida species and Aspergillus spp., including potential effectiveness against C. auris and azole-resistant Candida species, there is no explicit information about ongoing clinical trials for other therapeutic indications.
The medication's prolonged half-life allows for once-weekly dosing, which could theoretically make it suitable for outpatient management of difficult-to-treat fungal infections. However, specific clinical trials exploring these additional applications are not detailed in the available information.
REZZAYO appears to be primarily positioned for its FDA-approved indications of treating candidemia and invasive candidiasis infections, with particular attention to those caused by C. auris.
Without further information about additional clinical trials, their intervention models, study designs, or treatment protocols for non-Candida infections, a more comprehensive answer regarding trials for other indications cannot be provided.
