Key exclusion criteria
* Currently requiring medications that are sensitive substrates for CYP3A4-mediated metabolism or medications that are contraindicated with oral itraconazole.
* Has evidence of ventricular dysfunction, such as congestive cardiac failure (New York Heart Association functional class III or IV), or a history of congestive cardiac failure. N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT pro BNP) will be checked at screening only. A subject with a confirmed value of >400 pg/mL will not be eligible to participate.
* Has used any systemic azole antifungal agent in the 6 weeks before first dose of study drug.
* Has discontinued previously administered biologic agent(s) in the 3 months prior to screening.
* Has a history of life-threatening asthma within the last 24 months, defined as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, and/or hypoxic seizures.
* Has a current diagnosis of any chronic airway disease other than asthma, ABPA, or bronchiectasis believed to be related to ABPA, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, or Churg-Strauss syndrome. A subject whose predominating clinical disease burden is related to bronchiectasis (e.g., a subject with 2 or more infective exacerbations of bronchiectasis in the past 12 months or a subject with chronic colonization with Pseudomonas aeruginosa) will be excluded. Refer to Appendix 4 for definition of bronchiectasis exacerbations.
* Had an occurrence of clinically significant bacterial, viral, or fungal infection that required systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within the 28 days before screening. Topical treatments, other than antifungals, are allowed.

* Has a history of any clinically significant drug or alcohol abuse in the past 6 months before screening, as judged by the Investigator.
* Has current inhaled tobacco/nicotine or inhaled marijuana use or history of smoking or vaping including tobacco or marijuana within the last 6 months before screening.
* Has a history of any clinically significant drug or alcohol abuse in the past 6 months before screening, as judged by the Investigator.
* Has current tobacco or inhaled marijuana use or history of smoking or vaping including tobacco or marijuana within the last 6 months before screening.
* Has a history of allergic or hypersensitivity reaction or serious adverse reaction after dosing of itraconazole or other antifungal azoles.
* Has a history of serious adverse reaction or known serious hypersensitivity to any of the formulation excipients.
* Has a positive urine test result for drugs of abuse or cotinine at screening (unless, in the opinion of the Investigator, this can be explained by the subject's current medications). Note that results that are positive for a drug of abuse or cotinine may be acceptable for drugs that have been obtained by legal means or non-inhaled tobacco/nicotine product use.
* At screening, has alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2x upper limit of normal (ULN), white blood cell (WBC) count > 20,000 X 109/L, absolute neutrophil count <1000 cells/L, platelet counts <100,000 to or >500,000 X 109/L, or hemoglobin <10 g/dL
* Is a female of childbearing potential who is pregnant or lactating or who plans to become pregnant during the study. All female subjects must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and pre dose on Day 1. A woman is of childbearing potential unless she is either permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal occlusion/ligation, endometrial ablation) or postmenopausal (had no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause).
* Has a 12-lead ECG demonstrating a mean QT interval corrected by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) >450 msec for a male subject or >470 msec for a female subject at screening. A repeat triplicate ECG is allowed if a mean QTcF >450 msec for males and >470 msec for females is recorded at Visit 1.
* Has a planned or elective surgery, hospitalizations, or participation in other interventional studies any time during the study that may interfere with study logistics or safety.
* Has donated or had a loss of greater than 400 mL of blood within the 3 months before screening.
* Has other social, psychiatric, surgical, or medical conditions or screening laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgement of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into the study.
* Received any investigational medical product in a clinical research study within the previous 3 months before first dose of study drug.
* Is a study site employee, an immediate family member of a study site employee, or a Sponsor employee.
* Has previously received PUR1900.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about PUR1900 as an inhaled, antifungal therapeutic for the treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with asthma. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is PUR1900 safe and well tolerated in adults with asthma and ABPA?
2. Is there an effect of daily administration of PUR1900 on potential outcome measures in adults with asthma and ABPA?
3. Is there fungal resistance to A. fumigatus?

This study includes a 28-day screening period, a 112-day (16-week) treatment period, and a 56-day (8 week) observation period.

Participants will take either 40mg of PUR1900, 20 mg of PUR1900 or Placebo for 112 days and complete an eDairy, answer questions about their asthma and complete peak respiratory flow measurements at home. They will come to the clinic approximate once a month during the treatment period and complete study assessments. At the end of the observation period participants will complete one more clinic visit. Participants who complete this study may be given the opportunity to continue on study drug in an open label extension study.
