ABSTRACT
Background:
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety associated with ibrexafungerp in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis infection patients.Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials databases up to December 25, 2022. The primary outcomes were clinical cure rate and mycological eradication rate, whereas the secondary outcomes were the risk of an adverse events.Results:
In total of four studies encompassing 880 patients diagnosed with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) were included in the analysis. The findings demonstrated that ibrexafungerp exhibited superior clinical cure ratio (RR = 1.33 [1.07, 1.66]), mycological eradication rate (RR = 1.72 [1.00, 2.95]), and overall success ratio (RR = 1.64 [0.92, 2.92]) when compared to the fluconazole/placebo in the treatment of VVC. Furthermore, patients treated with ibrexafungerp demonstrated significantly higher clinical cure rates, mycological eradication, and overall success ratio compared to those receiving other treatments for vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by C. albicans. When ibrexafungerp was compared to fluconazole/placebo, the duration of any treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE), nausea, and diarrhea during therapy was significantly longer.Conclusion:
In summary, the use of ibrexafungerp was linked to superior clinical cure ratio, and mycological eradication when compared to fluconazole/placebo.
