Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female aged 18 years or older at screening.
2. Diagnosed with pulmonary aspergillosis including Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA), Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA), Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA), Aspergillus tracheobronchitis and Aspergillus bronchial anastomotic infection. Pulmonary infections with voriconazole sensitive fungi other than Aspergillus such as but not limited to scedosporium and fusarium are also allowed.

In patients with disseminated fungal infection in addition to pulmonary infection, Voriconazole Inhalation Powder must be used as add-on therapy to the current SOC.
5. The Sponsor agrees that the benefit:risk assessment is favorable for the use of Voriconazole Inhalation Powder in the patient.
6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test (UPT) prior to first dose. Sexually active WOCBP and male patients must agree to use highly effective birth control or abstinence until 3 months after last dose.
