The purpose of this study is to test measurement tools (questionnaire about symptoms and a questionnaire about quality of life) to assess usability in the assessment of treatment effectiveness for people with disseminated coccidioidomycosis (DCM).
Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) is a serious fungal infection that can cause long-lasting symptoms. Currently marketed antifungal drugs have limitations including limited dosage forms, drug-drug interactions (DDIs), and significant adverse reactions. Olorofim is an antifungal candidate with a novel mechanism of action offering activity against resistant organisms, differences in safety profile, along with oral route of administration, predictable and reliable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and limited potential for DDIs. This study tests whether the Valley Fever-Patient Reported Outcome (VF-PRO) questionnaire can reliably measure symptom impacts and changes over time in patients with severe forms of the disease (disseminated coccidioidomycosis (DCM)). The study will also assess symptoms of DCM and their severity, and whether olorofim, is safe and can help people with DCM when given together with standard antifungal medications (also known as standard-of-care or SOC).

Arm A: Oral olorofim loading dose: 5 tablets (150 mg) to be taken twice daily at a 12-hour (± 1 hour) interval on Day 1 followed by a maintenance dose of 3 tablets (90 mg) to be taken twice daily at 12-hour (± 1 hour) intervals from Day 2 until Day 168 (± 7 days)
Arm B: Oral olorofim-matched placebo loading dose: 5 tablets (150 mg) to be taken twice daily at a 12-hour (± 1 hour) interval on Day 1 followed by a maintenance dose of 3 tablets (90 mg) to be taken twice daily at 12-hour (± 1 hour) intervals from Day 2 until Day 168 (± 7 days)
