The purpose of this study is to determine if EL219 is safe and effective compared to liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) or voricanozole for early treatment of invasive mould infections
A Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind Study of Safety and Efficacy of EL219 versus Comparator (LAmB or voriconazole) for early antifungal therapy of suspected or confirmed Invasive Mould Infections (IMI)

EL219 is specifically being developed for early antifungal therapy (EAT), when infection is suspected due to highly suggestive signs and symptoms of disease; in high-risk people, antifungals are recommended even before confirmation of the microbial cause of infection, because delayed therapy is associated with poor outcomes in those who lack adequate immune responses. EL219 may provide a once-weekly alternative to LAmB and other polyenes that could also reduce the toxicities that often limit the frequency and duration of administration for these highly efficacious antifungals.
LAmB has broad-spectrum activity but its use is limited by toxicity and once-daily IV administration. It is not administered outside of the monitored setting given risks for electrolyte disturbances and cardiac arrhythmias. Voriconazole is a first-line therapy for IA and the most common azole used in the US and globally but does not have activity against many non-Aspergillus moulds.

RECRUITINGPrimary Outcome/Measure All-Cause Mortality
All-cause mortality at Day 21 (plus or minus 3 days) in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) analysis set.
Time frame: From enrollment to Day 21
Primary Outcome/Measure SAE TEAE
During the blinded portion of the study, serious adverse events and treatment-emergent adverse events categorized in a tiered approach in the Safety analysis set. Tier 1 TEAEs include renal, electrolyte, hepatic, infusion-related reactions, photophobia and photosensitivity. Tier 2 includes all other TEAEs.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at Day 42
Secondary Outcome Measure-EAT Success
Early antifungal therapy (EAT) success at Day 21 (plus or minus 3 days) in the ITT analysis set defined by non-occurrence of the following: death, cessation of study antifungals for progression of IMI, and/or toxicity, missing data (classified as indeterminate but analyzed as a failure).
Time frame: From enrollment through Day 21
Secondary Outcome Measure-Overall Success
Overall success at Day 42 (plus or minus 7 days) confirmed by the Data Review Committee, in the population with proven or probable IA (modified Intent-to-Treat)
Time frame: From enrollment through Day 42
Secondary Outcome Measure-Participant is Alive
Participant is alive, favorable composite clinical, mycologic, and radiographic response (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group \[EORTC/MSG\] criteria)
Time frame: From enrollment through Day 42
