Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Isavuconazole
Treatment: Drugs - Caspofungin
Treatment: Drugs - Voriconazole

Experimental: Isavuconazole (ISA) - Participants received 3 intravenous (IV) loading doses of 200 mg of isavuconazole on days 1 and 2, followed by an IV maintenance dose of 200 mg once daily from day 3 to day 56.

Active Comparator: Caspofungin (CAS)/Voriconazole - Participants received 1 intravenous (IV) loading dose of 70 mg CAS on day 1, followed by an IV maintenance dose of 50 mg CAS from day 2 to day 56. On day 11 at the discretion of the investigator, non-neutropenic patients could switch from IV CAS to oral voriconazole comprising of a loading dose of 400 mg twice daily (BID) on the first day of oral therapy followed by standard dosing of 200 mg BID thereafter.
