Clinical Trial Summary

The main goal of this study is to see how the body breaks down an antifungal drug named posaconazole in children with certain cancers, blood disorders, or transplantation of bone marrow or similar blood cells. This study will also help us learn whether a child's age, genetics, or disease affect how well the body breaks down posaconazole.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this research study is to see how the body breaks down posaconazole, which has limited data in children. Posaconazole injection has been approved by the FDA for prevention or treatment of certain fungal infections in adult patients. In children, however, we don't have data on how best to give posaconazole or whether the dosing should be personalized to individual children. This study aims to determine pharmacokinetics of posaconazole aqueous solution for injection in children aged 2 through 17 years and explores differences in drug exposure by age, genetics, and disease state. Children will receive a single dose of posaconazole injection and have their blood levels of posaconazole checked. The study will also check for safety after giving the posaconazole. ;
