Key inclusion criteria

Patients were eligible for enrolment if they were at least 20 years or older and diagnosed as CNPA. The diagnostic criteria for CNPA by Hope et al. with modification were used in this study. CNPA Patients fulfilled with following conditions; (1) existing al least one of symptom complex consisting of fever, weight loss, sputum, cough, hemoptysis, fatigue and shortness of breath. A criteria of CNPA was considered to be certain if it was associated with the following conditions; (2) New infiltrates or cavity formation or expansion of pre-existing cavities with or without peri-cavitary infiltrates and adjacent pleural thickening; (3) at least one positive result of serologic tests including Aspergillus antigen test, antibody test and/or any positive evidences if existence of Aspergillus species by molecular diagnosis, culture positive and pathological findings, (4) positive findings of at least one of the inflamation markers such as white blood cell (WBC) counts, value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), (5) non-improvement of symptoms to at least 3 days-administration of wide-broad antibiotics.

Key exclusion criteria

The following patients were excluded from the study: (1) patients received MCFG or VRCZ within a month at the time of the diagnosis of CNPA, (2) patients with simple aspergilloma, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, (3) patients with infectious diseases other than Aspergillosis, (4) pregnant patients, (5) patients without informed consent, and (6) patients with liver, kidney and heart failure (more than Grade II in CTCAEv3.0).

Results

The total of 50 and 47 patients were assigned to the MCFG and VRCZ groups, respectively. At enrollment, the two groups did not significantly differ in demographics or baseline characteristics, such as age, sex, weight, height, previous history of treatment of aspergillosis, SpO2, and other findings of inflammation makers. The difference in efficacy rates between MCFG and VRCZ was not significant, either after 2 weeks [68.0% vs. 58.7%; the absolute difference, 9.3% with a 95% confidence interval (CI), -9.97 to 28.58, P=0.344] or at the end of therapy (60.0% vs. 53.2%; the absolute difference, 6.8% with a 95% CI, -12.92 to 26.54, P=0.499). In the safety evaluation (MCFG, n=53, VRCZ, n=54), fewer adverse events occurred in the MCFG than VRCZ group (26.4% vs. 61.1%, P=0.0004). The incidence of adverse events not including visual events in the VRCZ was significantly lower in MCFG than VRCZ group (26.4% vs. 50.0%, P=0.017). Additionally, fewer patients in the MCFG group had hepatic dysfunction (15.1% vs. 35.2%, P=0.025).
