Summary

This study tested a new drug called APX001 in 9 adults with a serious fungal infection (Candida auris) in the blood or organs that didn't respond to standard treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could clear the infection and help patients survive. The study was small and early-stage, so results are limited but provide initial safety and effectiveness data.
