Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This pivotal, confirmatory trial seeks to independently verify the results observed in the EnACT Phase II Stage 2 trial (MB-70007).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Pivotal, prospective, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial to compare the efficacy and safety of step-down induction and consolidation therapy for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis with oral MAT2203 plus flucytosine to standard of care therapy. Randomization will by 1:1:1 to one of two experimental arms or standard of care.
