Echinocandin · Antifungal
Rezafungin (Rezzayo)

Once-weekly echinocandin for candidemia and invasive candidiasis.

Mechanism

Next-generation echinocandin structurally related to anidulafungin with enhanced stability, inhibiting β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase; long half-life permits once-weekly IV dosing.

Research areas
  • Candidemia
  • Invasive candidiasis
Considerations
  • FDA-approved (2023).
  • Infusion reactions and photosensitivity reported.
