- NCT01711827
- Lead Sponsor
- Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of prednisolone after single dose administration of prednisone. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of isavuconazole alone and in combination with prednisone.
