Abstract
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a novel oral amphotericin B (AmB) formulation (iCo-019) following single doses to healthy humans. The data from this study suggest that iCo-019 has a long circulation time and systemic exposure without the associated gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney toxicity associated with AmB. This novel oral AmB formulation can serve as a new treatment strategy to overcome the limitations of the use of parenterally administered AmB products.Entities:
