This research study is being conducted to learn more about the use of olorofim in Coccidioidal (Cocci) meningitis, a rare but serious fungal infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. The study is exploratory, meaning that early information is being gathered to better understand the effectiveness of olorofim in coccidioidal meningitis in its early stages. The study plans to enroll approximately 10 to 12 participants who have been recently diagnosed-within the last 4 to 8 weeks-and who do not have a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, a medical device sometimes used to relieve pressure in the brain. Participants will be followed for approximately 6 months, during which health information will be collected to evaluate disease progression and response to treatment. Participants may have the opportunity to enroll in the olorofim Managed Access Program to continue treatment after completion of the study period.

Single group study - all participants will receive olorofim treatment
Banner University Medical Center
Tucson, Arizona, United States
Safety: Number of participants with ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event
Counts and proportions of participants experiencing at least one adverse event after initiation of olorofim, regardless of causality. Adverse events will be coded and graded according to CTCAE v5.0.
Time frame: First dose through end of treatment and 4-week follow-up
Efficacy: Investigator-assessed clinical response over 24 weeks
Proportion of participants with improvement or resolution of coccidioidal meningitis-related clinical signs and symptoms compared with baseline, as assessed by the investigator at protocol-specified visits.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24 (End of Treatment)
Efficacy: Change from baseline in Coccidioides serum complement fixation titers
Change in serum complement fixation titers from baseline, measured at scheduled study visits, as an indicator of mycological and disease response.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
Efficacy: Radiological response assessed by imaging
Proportion of participants with stable or improved radiological findings related to coccidioidal meningitis on clinically indicated imaging studies compared with baseline.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
Efficacy: Investigator-assessed overall treatment response
Proportion of participants with overall response based on integration of clinical status, radiological findings (if available), and mycological/serologic data, as assessed by the investigator using protocol-defined criteria.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
Efficacy: All-cause mortality
Proportion of participants who die from any cause during treatment or follow-up.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24 and 4-week follow-up
Patient-reported Outcome: Change from baseline in Modified Zubrod Performance Score
Change from baseline in MZ-PS, a measure of functional performance status.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
Patient-reported Outcome: Change from baseline in Valley Fever Patient-Reported Outcomes (VF-PRO) score
Change from baseline in VF-PRO questionnaire scores assessing symptom burden and quality of life related to coccidioidomycosis.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
Patient-reported Outcome: Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) and Patient Global Impression-Severity (PGI-S)
Change from baseline in investigator-rated (CGI-S) and patient-reported (PGI-S) disease severity scores. (separate scales but reported similarly)
Time frame: Baseline through Week 24
ECG Sub-Study: Change from baseline in QTcF interval
Change in QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF), measured using continuous Holter ECG monitoring and time-matched with plasma olorofim concentrations in a subset of participants.
Time frame: Day 10-21 (single study day)
