Efficacy and safety of anidulafungin in elderly, critically ill patients with invasive Candida infections: a post hoc analysis
Original language description
Post hoc analysis of a non-comparative, prospective, multicentre, phase IIIb study was performed to compare efficacy and safety of anidulafungin in elderly (>= 65 years) versus non-elderly (<65 years) Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with candidaemia/invasive candidiasis (C/IC). Adult ICU patients with confirmed C/IC meeting >= 1 of the following criteria were enrolled: post-abdominal surgery; solid tumour; renal/hepatic insufficiency; solid organ transplantation; neutropenia; age >= 65 years. Patients received anidulafungin (200 mg on Day 1, 100 mg/day thereafter) for >= 10 days followed by optional azole step-down therapy for a total treatment duration of 14-56 days. The primary efficacy endpoint was global (clinical and microbiological) response at the end of all therapy (EOT). Primary efficacy analysis was performed in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population (n = 170), excluding unknown and missing responses. In total, 80 patients (47.1%) were aged >= 65 years and 90 (52.9
