It is engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of anti-infectives to address unmet therapeutic needs. The Company is developing its lead product candidate, SCY-078, as an oral and intravenous (IV) drug for the treatment of serious and life-threatening invasive fungal infections in humans.

- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Scynexis reported 1Q19 financial results this wk and we spoke w/ mgmt for an update. Enrollment in ibrexafungerp Phase 3 VANISH program in Acute Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is progressing and mgmt reiterated guidance for top-line results in 1H20. Phase 3 CANDLE trial in Recurrent VVC is expected to start in 2Q19 (unch). Reiterate BUY. We believe commercial opportunity in VVC is substantially underappreciated by investors given there are no oral options for pts w/ poor response to standard of care oral fluconazole. Recent encouraging data from FURI and CARES trials demonstrating impressive activity against challenging infections (including tied to C. auris) enhances overall profile." (5/12/2019)
