The clinicaldiagnosis of IA includes at least one host factor, one clinical criterion, and onemicrobiological criterion (serum, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, bronchialbrush specimen, or sinus extract indicating positive Aspergillus GM test);
All subjects agreed to use contraception from the time signed the informed consentto 6 weeks after the end of the last dose;
