Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this research study is to examine the pharmacokinetics (the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body) of micafungin when it is given at 5mg/kg dose to immunocompromised children as anti-fungal prophylaxis. These children are at high risk for developing invasive fungal disease due to their compromised immunity and associated variable degree and duration of neutropenia. Currently, children who receive micafungin are given daily or alternate day dosing. The investigators will give a ONE TIME dose of micafungin and draw PK levels up to 96 hours post-infusion. The investigators goal is to obtain comparable micafungin drug concentrations at the end of 96 hours (4 days) as compared to lower dose at every 24 hour dosing. The investigators dosing proposal is likely to be effective prophylaxis for immunocompromised patients and would broaden its applicability to larger populations.

Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - Patients who are at risk for fungal infection and require prophylaxis. Example: patients undergoing blood and marrow transplant, immunodeficiency patients, patients with aplastic anemia. - Age >= 6 months to <= 10 years (at time of enrollment). - Patients with adequate organ function (documented within 2 weeks prior to start of micafungin): - Creatinine < 2 times upper limit normal - Total bilirubin and AST < 3 times upper limit normal Exclusion Criteria: - Patients who have history of past or evidence of active fungal disease (by either radiological studies or biopsy proven) or are being treated for presumed fungal infection. - Patients who have history of allergy to micafungin or other echinocandin preparations, such as Caspofungin or Anidulafungin. - Patients who have received micafungin or other echinocandin preparations in the previous two weeks. - Patients receiving antifungal prophylaxis other than Fluconazole at the time of enrollment. This is due to the fact that during transplant, Fluconazole is usually switched to agents with better coverage. This will avoid the possibility of reducing effective antifungal coverage for the purpose of the study. - Failure to sign informed consent, or inability to undergo informed consent process. - It is not medically advisable to obtain the specimens necessary for this study. |
