Earlier this year, the FDA had designated isavuconazole as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QDIP) for the treatment of invasive candidiasis and invasive mucormycosis. QIDP designation for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis was granted last year. Also, in 2013, isavuconazole was granted Orphan Drug status for invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis.
