Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that the efficacy of intravenous (IV) itraconazole followed by oral itraconazole is non-inferior to that of intravenous caspofungin as empiric therapy for suspected fungal infection participants with fever and neutropenia.

Conditions

  • Hematologic Neoplasms

Interventions

DRUG

Itraconazole

Participants will receive 200 milligram (mg) of itraconazole intravenously (IV) twice daily on Day 1 and Day 2, followed by 200 mg once daily through Day 14. From Day 15 to Day 28, participants will receive 200 mg (20 milliliters \[mL\]) of itraconazole oral solution orally twice daily. Participants, who are not suitable for oral administration of itraconazole based on the investigator's judgment, will receive 200 mg of itaconazole IV once daily from Day 15 to Day 28.
