Oral Ibrexafungerp (SCY-078) vs Standard-of-Care Following IV Echinocandin in the Treatment of Invasive Candidiasis

A Phase 2 interventional study of SCY-078 and Fluconazole in Mycoses, Candidiasis, Invasive and Candidemia, sponsored by Scynexis, Inc.. Completed at 30 sites in 5 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-06-25.

Primary conditionCandidemiaRegistry: MycosesReclassifiedWhy we changed it
Registry
Mycoses — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Candidemia
Why
  1. The registry often attaches Mycoses to studies about something else, and this study's title and listed conditions do not name it.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Candidemia, a narrower term within Mycoses.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of oral SCY-078 vs. standard-of-care following initial intravenous echinocandin therapy in the treatment of invasive candidiasis.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive initial intravenous (IV) echinocandin therapy. Patients who are eligible for randomization will receive SCY-078 500-mg orally, SCY-078 750-mg orally, or standard-of-care.

In context

Candidemia Reclassified

73 studies on the registry are indexed under Candidemia; 5 are open to participants now.

This study's enrollment of 27 is below the median of 63 across 44 interventional studies indexed under Candidemia.

Browse Candidemia studies →

Lead sponsor

Scynexis, Inc. is the lead sponsor of 18 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.

Of its 14 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 10 (71%) have results posted.

Compared within Candidemia, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Mycoses. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of invasive candidiasis defined as a positive culture of blood or from another normally sterile site for Candida.
  • Not of or if of reproductive potential, agrees to remain abstinent or use 2 methods of .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with Candida endocarditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, or chronic disseminated candidiasis or evidence of endophthalmitis.
  • Patient has failed treatment with an echinocandin for this episode of invasive candidiasis.
  • Infection limited to the oropharynx, esophagus, urogenital system, or skin, or sputum/bronchoalveolar lavage culture.
  • Participation in a clinical study with other drug(s) within 30 days prior to study entry or during this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Reproductive potential

Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.

Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Sep 2014, a primary completion of Jun 2016 and a completion of Aug 2016. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jun 2024, 8 years after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Oct 2020.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 25, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
