Filter by:For tablets to be absorbed, the drug must dissolve after being swallowed. Drugs with low solubility sometimes require the inert ingredients in tablets to help the drug dissolve after being swallowed. This study uses itraconazole as an example drug with low solubility. Itraconazole tablets with different inert ingredients and manufacturing will be administered to healthy volunteers to see if the different inert ingredients and manufacturing impact drug absorption.
The purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of generics caspofungin in the treatment of the patients with neutropenic and fever.Another purpose of this study is comparing the pharmacokinetic characteristics of generics caspofungin and original medicine(Cancidas®) for providing a basis for clinical rational administration.
The randomized control trial study aimed to evaluate effectiveness and safety of amphotericin B in 30% DMSO solution comparing with 30% DMSO solution in NDMs onychomycosis treatment.
A pilot study was performed to evaluate the appropriateness of the voriconazole dosing regimen based on the population pharmacokinetic model and the influence of sex on the pharmacokinetics of voriconazole
Invasive aspergillosis is a fungal infection which left untreated, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Immunocompromised patient populations such as solid organ transplant and malignant hematology patients are especially susceptible to invasive fungal infections. Voriconazole is an anti-fungal agent that is frontline therapy for invasive aspergillosis. Treatment success is highly dependent on maintaining therapeutic voriconazole concentrations. The current published literature has established that treatment failure is associated with sub- and supra-therapeutic voriconazole concentrations. Maintaining therapeutic voriconazole concentrations however, is challenging due to the high inter and intra-patient variability in voriconazole pharmacokinetics. The complex kinetics of voriconazole renders current manufacturers' dosing guidelines ineffective. Much of this complexity has been linked to genetic polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 2C19 gene, and it has been found that CYP2C19 genotype plays an important role in determining voriconazole exposure levels. Therapeutic drug monitoring has been found to increase efficacy of voriconazole treatment through the monitoring of patients' voriconazole levels, allowing for dosage adjustments in response to supra- or sub-therapeutic levels. There are few robust studies that have examined the effect of CYP2C19 genotype on voriconazole treatment outcomes. They have been unable to determine relationships between CYP2C19 genetic status, and clinical efficacy and safety. No studies to our knowledge have made dosing adjustments based on CYP2C19 genetic status. The study aim is to explore the utility of voriconazole dosing that is based on the genetic status of the patient in conjunction with therapeutic drug monitoring. Over the course of one year, solid organ transplant recipients at Toronto General Hospital and malignant hematology patients at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre receiving voriconazole therapy will be randomized into one of two trial arms: a control arm receiving therapeutic drug monitoring only, or a treatment arm receiving genotype-specific dosing in conjunction with therapeutic drug monitoring. The investigators will compare the proportion of patients that achieve voriconazole therapeutic concentrations, the number of dose adjustments needed to achieve therapeutic voriconazole levels, and clinical outcomes between trial arms.
The purpose of this pivotal study is to determine if intravenous Rezafungin is efficacious and safe in the treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis when compared to caspofungin (followed by optional oral fluconazole).
A retrospective, post-marketing, multi-center chart review study includes patients who had been prescribed Ampholipad.
SIR-POSA is a phase II trial of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation from a partially compatible family (Haplo) donor in patients with a blood tumor (myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute leukemia) treated for the prevention of primary fungal infections with posaconazole. The aim is evaluate the composite end-point graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) in these patients and evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of posaconazole oral tablets as primary antifungal prophylaxis.
The objective of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of standard doses of caspofungin in critically ill patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of posaconazole intravenous solution in Chinese participants at high risk for invasive fungal infections. Neutropenic participants undergoing chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes will be enrolled in the study. The primary hypothesis is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of intravenous (IV) posaconazole (POS) solution in Chinese participants at high risk of invasive fungal infections and determine the percentage of Chinese participants who reach steady-state concentration averages of POS in blood plasma of 500 ng/ml and higher. Two subgroups were evaluated: Subgroup 1 from serial PK blood draw sampling and Subgroup 2 from sparse limited PK blood draw sampling.
