🩺 Clinical
Isavuconazonium is used to treat serious fungal infections such as invasive aspergillosis (a fungal infection that begins in the lungs and spreads through the bloodstream to other organs) and invasive mucormycosis (a fungal infection that usually begins in the sinuses, brain, or lungs) in adults and children 6 years of age and older who weigh at least 35 pounds (16 kg). Isavuconazonium is in a class of medications called azole antifungals. It works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection.

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Isavuconazole may alter concentrations of several drugs. ( 5.5 , 7 , 12.3 ) • Drug Particulates: Intravenous formulation may form insoluble particulates following reconstitution. Administer CRESEMBA through an in-line filter.
( 2.4 , 5.6 )
5.1Hepatic Adverse Drug Reactions Hepatic adverse drug reactions (e.g., elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin) have been reported in clinical trials. The elevations in liver-related laboratory tests were generally reversible and did not require discontinuation of CRESEMBA. Cases of more severe hepatic adverse drug reactions including hepatitis, cholestasis or hepatic failure including death have been reported in patients with serious underlying medical conditions (e.g., hematologic malignancy) during treatment with azole antifungal agents, including CRESEMBA.
Evaluate liver-related laboratory tests at the start and during the course of CRESEMBA therapy. Monitor patients who develop abnormal liver-related laboratory tests during CRESEMBA therapy for the development of more severe hepatic injury. Discontinue CRESEMBA if clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop that may be attributable to CRESEMBA [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
5.2Infusion-Related Reactions Infusion-related reactions including hypotension, dyspnea, chills, dizziness, paresthesia, and hypoesthesia were reported during intravenous administration of CRESEMBA. Discontinue the infusion if these reactions occur [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
5.3Hypersensitivity Reactions Anaphylactic Reactions Anaphylactic reactions, with fatal outcome, have been reported during treatment with CRESEMBA. Symptoms including dyspnea, hypotension, generalized erythema with flushing, and urticaria have been reported in such cases often soon after the initiation of treatment. Severe Skin Reactions Severe skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, have been reported during treatment with other azole antifungal agents.
Discontinue CRESEMBA if a patient develops an anaphylactic or severe cutaneous adverse reaction and initiate supportive treatment as needed. There is no information regarding cross-sensitivity between CRESEMBA and other azole antifungal agents though cross-sensitivity between other triazole agents has been reported. When prescribing CRESEMBA to patients with hypersensitivity to other azoles, monitor for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions.
5.4Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, CRESEMBA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Perinatal mortality was significantly increased in the offspring of pregnant rats dosed orally with isavuconazonium sulfate at 90 mg/kg/day (less than half the maintenance…

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of CRESEMBA cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trials Experience in Adult Patients A total of 403 adult patients were exposed to CRESEMBA in two clinical trials. The most frequently reported adverse reactions among CRESEMBA-treated patients were nausea (26%), vomiting (25%), diarrhea (22%), headache (17%), elevated liver chemistry tests (16%), hypokalemia (14%), constipation (13%), dyspnea (12%), cough (12%), peripheral edema (11%), and back pain (10%).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 223/403 (55%) of patients and 56/403 (14%) of patients permanently discontinued treatment with CRESEMBA due to an adverse reaction in the two trials. The adverse reactions which most often led to permanent discontinuation of CRESEMBA therapy during the clinical trials were confusional state (0.7%), acute renal failure (0.7%), increased blood bilirubin (0.5%), convulsion (0.5%), dyspnea (0.5%), epilepsy (0.5%), respiratory failure (0.5%), and vomiting (0.5%). Patients in the clinical trials were immunocompromised with underlying conditions including hematological malignancy, neutropenia post-chemotherapy, graft-versus-host disease, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
The patient population was 61% male, had a mean age of 51 years (range 17-92, including 85 patients aged greater than 65 years), and was 79% White and 3% Black. One hundred forty-four (144) patients had a duration of CRESEMBA therapy of greater than 12 weeks, with 52 patients receiving CRESEMBA for over six months. In Trial 1, a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial for treatment of invasive aspergillosis, treatment‑emergent adverse reactions occurred in 247/257 (96%), and 255/259 (99%) patients in the CRESEMBA and voriconazole treatment groups, respectively.
Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation were reported in 37 (14%) CRESEMBA-treated patients and 59 (23%) voriconazole-treated patients. Table 3 includes selected adverse reactions which were reported at an incidence of ≥ 5% during CRESEMBA therapy in Trial 1. In Trial 2, an open-label, non-comparative trial of CRESEMBA in patients with invasive aspergillosis and renal impairment or invasive mucormycosis, adverse reactions occurred in 139/146 (95%) of patients in the CRESEMBA treatment group.
Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation were reported in 19 (13%) CRESEMBA‑treated patients. The frequencies and types of adverse reactions observed in CRESEMBA-treated patients were similar between Trial 1 and Trial 2. Table 3.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Isavuconazole is a sensitive substrate of CYP3A4. CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers may alter the plasma concentrations of isavuconazole. Isavuconazole is a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, and a mild inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2).
Drug interaction studies were conducted to investigate the effect of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole and the effect of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of coadministered drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Table 4. Drug(s) Affecting Pharmacokinetics of CRESEMBA Recommendation Comments Ketoconazole Contraindicate coadministration of all potent CYP3A4 inhibitors There is more than a 5-fold increase in exposure of isavuconazole upon coadministration with ketoconazole [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Lopinavir/ritonavir 400 mg of lopinavir in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir. Caution is advised when CRESEMBA is coadministered with lopinavir/ritonavir There is a 96% increase in exposure of isavuconazole when coadministered with lopinavir/ritonavir [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Rifampin Contraindicate coadministration of all potent CYP3A4 inducers There is a 97% decrease in exposure of isavuconazole upon coadministration with rifampin [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Table 5. The Effect of CRESEMBA on the Pharmacokinetics of Other Drugs Recommendation Comments Lopinavir/ritonavir 400 mg of lopinavir in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir. Use with Caution Concomitant administration of lopinavir/ritonavir and CRESEMBA resulted in decreased exposure of lopinavir and ritonavir that could possibly result in loss of antiviral efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Atorvastatin Use with Caution Caution should be used when atorvastatin is used with CRESEMBA due to a potential increase in atorvastatin exposure. Monitor patients for adverse reactions that are typical of atorvastatin [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Cyclosporine Use with Caution Concomitant administration of CRESEMBA and cyclosporine results in increase in cyclosporine exposure.
Monitor drug concentrations of cyclosporine and adjust dose as needed [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Sirolimus Use with Caution Concomitant administration of CRESEMBA and sirolimus results in increase in sirolimus exposure. Monitor drug concentrations of sirolimus and adjust dose as needed [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

CRESEMBA is predicted to have a less than 2‑fold increase in vincristine exposure in pediatric and adult patients [see Clinical Pharmacol…
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with CRESEMBA. ( 8.2 ) • Use in patients with severe hepatic impairment only when the benefits outweigh the risks; clinical monitoring for CRESEMBA‑related adverse reactions is recommended. ( 8.7 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, CRESEMBA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available human data on the use of CRESEMBA in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, perinatal mortality was increased in the offspring of pregnant rats dosed orally with isavuconazonium sulfate at approximately 0.5 times the clinical exposure during pregnancy through the weaning period.
In animal studies when isavuconazonium chloride was administered by oral gavage to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at exposures corresponding to less than the human maintenance dose, increases in the incidences of multiple skeletal abnormalities, including rudimentary cervical ribs and fused zygomatic arches, were observed (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown.
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Isavuconazonium chloride administration during organogenesis (gestational days 6-17 in rats and gestational days 6-18 in rabbits) was associated with dose-related increases in the incidences of rudimentary cervical ribs in rats and rabbits at 30 and 45 mg/kg, respectively, equivalent to about 0.2 and 0.1 times of the clinical exposure based on AUC comparisons.
In rats, dose-related increases in the incidences of zygomatic arch fusion and supernumerary ribs/rudimentary supernumerary ribs were also noted at 30 mg/kg and above, equivalent to 0.2 times the human AUC. Skeletal abnormalities have also been observed in embryo-fetal development studies of other azole antifungal agents. Isavuconazonium sulfate increased perinatal mortality in the pups when orally administered to pregnant rats during pregnancy and lactation (gestational day 6 through postpartum day 20) at doses up to 90 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the clinical exposure based on AUC comparison).
No effect on the duration of pregnancy or delivery was seen in the pups at this same dose.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of isavuconazole in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Isavuconazole was present in the milk of lactating rats following intravenous administration. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. Therefore, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with CRESEMBA.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Contraception CRESEMBA may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )]. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CRESEMBA and for 28 days after the final dose.
8.4Pediatric Use Invasive Aspergillosis The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA for injection for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis have been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA capsules for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis have been established in pediatric patients 6 year of age and older weighing 16 kg and greater.

🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use Invasive Aspergillosis The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA for injection for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis have been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA capsules for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis have been established in pediatric patients 6 year of age and older weighing 16 kg and greater. Use of CRESEMBA in this age group for treatment of invasive aspergillosis is supported by evidence from one adequate and well-controlled trial in adult patients and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
Adverse reactions in this pediatric population were similar to those reported in the adult population [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA capsules for treatment of invasive aspergillosis have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age or who weigh less than 16 kg because the oral route of administration was not assessed in this pediatric patient age cohort. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA for treatment of invasive aspergillosis in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established.
Invasive Mucormycosis The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA for injection for the treatment of invasive mucormycosis have been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA capsules for the treatment of invasive mucormycosis have been established in pediatric patients 6 year of age and older weighing 16 kg and greater. Use of CRESEMBA in this age group for treatment of invasive mucormycosis is supported by one open-label trial in adult patients with invasive mucormycosis, a retrospective review of survival data for adult patients with untreated invasive mucormycosis, and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Adverse reactions in this pediatric population were similar to those reported in the adult population [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA capsules for treatment of invasive mucormycosis have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age who weigh less than 16 kg because the oral route of administration was not assessed in this pediatric patient age cohort. The safety and effectiveness of CRESEMBA for treatment of invasive mucormycosis in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 547 patients who received CRESEMBA in the Phase 2 and 3 trials, 86 (16%) of patients were greater than 65 years of age and 20 (4%) were greater than 75 years of age. The pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole are comparable in young and elderly subjects (65 years of age and older) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . No dose adjustment of CRESEMBA is needed in elderly patients.
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE During clinical studies, total daily CRESEMBA doses higher than the recommended dose regimen were associated with an increased rate of adverse reactions. At supratherapeutic doses (three times the recommended maintenance dose) evaluated in a thorough QT study, there were proportionally more treatment-emergent adverse reactions than in the therapeutic dose group (maintenance dose) for the following: headache, dizziness, paresthesia, somnolence, disturbance in attention, dysgeusia, dry mouth, diarrhea, oral hypoesthesia, vomiting, hot flush, anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, tachycardia, photophobia and arthralgia.
Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of study drug occurred in 7 of 39 (17.9%) subjects in the supratherapeutic dose group. Isavuconazole is not removed by hemodialysis. There is no specific antidote for isavuconazole.
Treatment should be supportive with appropriate monitoring.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Isavuconazonium sulfate is the prodrug of isavuconazole, an azole antifungal [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Relationship In patients treated with CRESEMBA for invasive aspergillosis in a controlled trial, there was no significant association between plasma AUC or plasma isavuconazole concentration and efficacy. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect on QTc interval of multiple doses of CRESEMBA capsules was evaluated. CRESEMBA was administered as 2 capsules (equivalent to 200 mg isavuconazole) three times daily on days 1 and 2 followed by either 2 capsules or 6 capsules (equivalent to 600 mg isavuconazole) once daily for 13 days in a randomized, placebo- and active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg single-dose), four-treatment-arm, parallel study in 160 healthy subjects.
Isavuconazole resulted in dose-related shortening of the QTc interval. For the 2-capsule dosing regimen, the least squares mean (LSM) difference from placebo was -13.1 msec at 2 hours postdose [90% CI: -17.1, -9.1 msec]. Increasing the dose to 6 capsules resulted in an LSM difference from placebo of -24.6 msec at 2 hours postdose [90% CI: -28.7, -20.4].
CRESEMBA was not evaluated in combination with other drugs that reduce the QTc interval, so the additive effects are not known.
12.3Pharmacokinetics General Pharmacokinetics In healthy subjects, the pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole following oral administration of CRESEMBA capsules at isavuconazole equivalent doses up to 600 mg per day (6 capsules) are dose proportional ( Table 6 ). Based on a population pharmacokinetics analysis of healthy subjects and patients, the mean plasma half-life of isavuconazole was 130 hours and the mean volume of distribution (V ss ) was approximately 450 L following intravenous administration. Table 6.
Steady State Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Isavuconazole Following Administration of 186 mg CRESEMBA Capsules Parameter CRESEMBA 186 mg 2 Capsules Each capsule contains the equivalent of 100 mg of isavuconazole. (n = 37) CRESEMBA 186 mg 6 Capsules (n = 32) C max (mg/L) Mean SD CV % 7.5 1.9 25.2 20.0 3.6 17.9 t max (hr) Median Range 3.0 2.0 – 4.0 4.0 2.0 –

20.4Following oral administration of CRESEMBA capsules at an isavuconazole equivalent dose of 200 mg in 66 fasted healthy male subjects, a single dose administration of two 186 mg CRESEMBA capsules and five 74.5 mg CRESEMBA capsules exhibited a mean (SD) C max and AUC of 3.3 (0.6) mg/L and 112.2 (30.3) mg·hr/L, respectively, and 3.3 (0.6) mg/L and 118.0 (33.1) mg·hr/L, respectively. Absorption After oral administration of CRESEMBA in healthy volunteers, the active moiety, isavuconazole, generally reaches maximum plasma concentrations (C max ) 2 hours to 3 hours after single and multiple dosing.
The absolute bioavailability of isavuconazole following oral administration of CRESEMBA is 98%. No significant concentrations of the prodrug or inactive cleavage product were seen in plasma after oral administration. Following intravenous administration of CRESEMBA, maximal plasma concentrations of the prodrug and inactive cleavage product were detectable during infusion and declined rapidly following the end of administration.
The prodrug was below the level of detection by 1.25 hours after the start of a one-hour infusion. The total exposure of the prodrug based on AUC was less than 1% that of isavuconazole. The inactive cleavage product was quantifiable in some subjects up to 8 hours after the start of infusion.
The total exposure of inactive cleavage product based on AUC was approximately 1.3% that of isavuconazole. CRESEMBA given orally as an intravenous solution administered via nasogastric (NG) tube provides systemic isavuconazole exposure that is similar to the oral capsule ( Table 7 ). Table 7.
