NOXAFIL POWDERMIX KIT (posaconazole)

Trial Activity: Declining 5 active trials
Infectious Disease Approved 2021-05-31

Noxafil Powdermix is an azole antifungal indicated for the prophylaxis of invasive Aspergillus and Candida infections in pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) who are severely immunocompromised and at high risk for these infections. This includes recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and those with hematologic malignancies experiencing prolonged neutropenia due to chemotherapy. The Powdermix formulation is specifically utilized for pediatric patients who may not meet the weight requirements for delayed-release tablets or who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms.

How NOXAFIL POWDERMIX KIT Works

Posaconazole is an azole antifungal that works by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14$\alpha$-demethylase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane. The resulting depletion of ergosterol and accumulation of methylated sterol precursors disrupts membrane integrity and function, thereby inhibiting fungal cell growth and replication.

How We Calculate These Metrics

Trial Activity Stage

Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.

Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.

  • Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
  • Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
  • Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
  • Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
  • Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
