A Phase 1, Open-Label Study Of The Safety And Pharmacokinetics Of Repeated-Dose Micafungin (FK463) In Children (2-5 Years AND 6-11 Years) And Adolescents (12-16 Years) With Esophageal Candidiasis Or Other Invasive Candidiasis

Children with fungal infections will be divided into two groups by weight. Children weighing
< 25 kg will receive a higher dose of study medication (per kg body weight) for 10 to 14 days
than children weighing > 25 kg.

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, repeat-dose study conducted in two groups.
Subjects in Group 1 and Group 2 will receive treatment for 10 to 14 days (per investigator
clinical judgment); dose level (3.0 mg/kg or 4.5 mg/kg) will be determined by the subject's
weight at baseline. Study procedures in both groups will be similar except that serial blood
samples for assessment of pharmacokinetics will be collected in Group 1. Subjects may only
participate in one group of the study.

At least 24 subjects, with at least 8 in each of three age ranges, will be enrolled in Group
1 (PK + safety). At least 36 subjects will be enrolled in Group 2 (safety), with at least 12
in each of the three age ranges.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is 2 to 16 years inclusive

2. Subject has suspected, proven or probable candidiasis, candidemia or other invasive
candidiasis

3. Subject has sufficient venous access to permit administration of study medication,
collection of pharmacokinetic samples, and monitoring of laboratory safety variables

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has evidence of significant liver disease, as defined by aspartate
transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase > 5
times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

2. Subject has a concomitant medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator
and/or medical monitor precludes enrollment into the study

3. Subject has a history of anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity, or any serious reaction to the
echinocandin class of antifungals

4. Subject has received treatment with an echinocandin within one week prior to first
dosing

5. Subject status is unstable and subject is unlikely to complete all study required
procedures
