Current Approach to Prophylaxis • TMP-SMX: TMP 15–20 mg/kg/d and

SMX 75–100 mg/kg/d), PO in 3 divided doses or TMP-SMX DS, 2 tablets TID

• Dapsone plus pyrimethamine + leucovorin

• Aerosolized pentamidine

• Atovaquoneplus pyrimethamine + leucovorin

• NOT recommended: oral clindamycin plus primaquine

• Rezafungin significantly reduced counts of both nuclei and asci

• No significant differences in survival rates

• Rezafungin efficacy equivalent to the gold standard TMP/SMX

Rezafungin for treatment and prophylaxisnovel and unique properties of a next-generation echinocandin

• Potent and Broad-Spectrum against Candida, Aspergillus, and Pneumocystis: including Candida auris and subset of azole- and echinocandin-resistant isolates

• Enhanced PK: once-weekly, high-exposure, front-loaded dosing and greater tissue penetration maximizes pharmacometrics of efficacy and may prevent resistance

• Safety and DDI profile of the echinocandin class: spares myelosuppression, TDM, hepatic & renal toxicity, non-compliance, and complications of managing/avoiding DDIs

• Dosing & Administration: inpatient and outpatient use dosed once-weekly, earlier hospital discharge, multiple formulations
