Brief Summary: RATIONALE Anidulafungin may be effective in preventing fungal infections in immunocompromised children who have neutropenia

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects of anidulafungin and to see how well it works in preventing fungal infections in immunocompromised children with neutropenia caused by chemotherapy or aplastic anemia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the safety tolerability and pharmacokinetics of anidulafungin in immunocompromised children with neutropenia
Determine the frequency of deeply invasive fungal infections in children receiving this drug for early empirical therapy

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation open-label multicenter study Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups according to age 2 to 11 years vs 12 to 17 years

Patients receive anidulafungin IV once daily over 45-120 minutes In both groups cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of anidulafungin Treatment continues for up to 28 days or until patients recover from neutropenia or become eligible for standard empirical antifungal therapy in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or breakthrough fungal infection

Patients are followed at 7-9 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 25 patients approximately 12 per group were accrued for this study
