Invasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised host such as prolong neutropenic patients , post transplantation patients, malignancies or advanced AIDS . The majority of these infections were caused by Aspergillus species, which the first line of treatment is antifungal agent, Voriconazole , a triazole antifungal drug which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in May 2002 for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and refractory infections of Scedosporium apiospermum and Fusarium spp. There are two forms of Voriconazole , oral and intravenous form. The recommendation dose is 6 mg/kg twice daily for two dosages, followed by 4 mg/kg twice daily in intravenous form or a loading dose of 400 mg twice daily for two doses is used (for individuals >40 kg), followed by 200 mg twice daily, and in individuals <40 kg the maintenance dose is 100 mg twice daily in oral form. Voriconazole has a narrow therapeutic window and nonlinear pharmacokinetic profile with wide inter-individual and intra-individual variability, such as age, race, genotypic variation, liver dysfunction, the presence of food and drug-drug interactions with CYP450 inhibitors. These large variations in pharmacokinetics may be associated with decreased efficacy or increased toxicity. Therefore , monitoring of serum trough concentrations is recommended in the following infections: invasive aspergillosis treatment , endophthalmitis; meningitis or osteoarticular infections due to Exserohilum rostratum. In Thai population , there are different genetic polymorphism from Caucasian ,resulting in a different response to the initial dose and there is limited resources in Thailand , mostly patients are unaccessible for Voriconazole level. Especially,in the period of starting drug, which is the critical period for patients ,most of them are post chemotherapy which may have gastrointestinal problems, mucositis , vomiting or diarrhea ,as well as receiving multiple concurrent medications. All of these affect drug absorption,drug level and efficacy of treatment. Thus, this study was designed to evaluated Voriconazole level in Thai patients in the first two week after administration. Primary question - From the first collected of Voriconazole drug level , Are the invasive fungal infection patients in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital achieved the drug level more than 60% ? Secondary question - Which factor affecting Voriconazole through level in the first two weeks after administration? Research Design - Observational Studies (Descriptive retrospective and prospective study) Research Methodology Target Population - Patients received Voriconazole for treatment or prophylaxis invasive fungal infection Study population - Patients in King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital received Voriconazole for treatment or prophylaxis invasive fungal infection Sample size n= ZZ/2P(1-P) /dd - n = sample size - P =Incident rate - From the pilot study of 15 Invasive fungal infection patients in King Chulalongkorn memorial hospital from February to September 2015 , 60% ( 9 of 15 patients) of the first collected of Voriconazole trough level achieved the therapeutic level. replaced P = 0.6 - Z = 95% confident interval = 1.96 - d = acceptable error = 0.10 n = (1.96) (1.96) (0.60)(1-0.60) / (0.10)(0.10) n =92 , sample size = 92 Study processing and data collection Data collection - Collected data of patients received Voriconazole in first two weeks of treatment or prophylaxis invasive fungal infection in King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital in 2015-2017 from outpatient records , inpatient records and computer database in King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital. This data included - Baseline characteristics : sex, age ,weight ,BMI ,co-morbid ,personal history of smoking or alcohol drinking - Basic laboratory investigation : complete blood count , Creatinin , liver function test , albumin level - Gastrointestinal problems - Indication of Voriconazole treatment - Data of invasive fungal infection : - Data of Voriconazole usage : Loading dose, Maintenance dose, Trough level , Data of drug adjustment, Concurrent medication used, Side effect - All data was summarized and recorded in case report forms. Data Analysis and Statistics The data was analysed by computer using SPSS17 program This study used descriptive statistics ,describing general information, age, results, laboratory results and side effects of the drug in mean ,percentage or standard deviation. And used the chi-square test for analysis of the proportion of patients with serum drug levels within the therapeutic range. This study used a confidence level of 95%, p-value less than 0.05 was statistically significant.
This is a Phase l double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and food effect of single doses of APX001 administered intravenously and orally, followed by an evaluation of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interaction potential of multiple doses of APX001 administered orally.
First In Human (FIH), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) escalation study of approximately 80 subjects. The SAD portion of the study will enroll six cohorts of eight healthy subjects per cohort, for a total of approximately 48 healthy subjects. The MAD portion of the study will enroll four cohorts of eight healthy subjects per cohort, for a total of approximately 32 healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous CD101 is safe and effective in the treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis when compared to caspofungin (followed by oral fluconazole).
Examine the safety and effectiveness of Vfend [voriconazole] for prophylaxix use under general clinical practices.
The investigators retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of granulocyte transfusions as adjunctive treatment for severe infections in neutropenic fever unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy in hematological patients.
This observational study is designed to evaluate the reported outcomes for patients receiving topical therapy for the treatment of pain, fungal infections or skin scars. The patients will complete the Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) survey monthly and provide valuable data on the patients perception of their health status and well being while receiving therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of oral posaconazole tablets 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 purpose of this study is to identify the optimal dose of voriconazole, an anti-fungal drug often used in people undergoing stem cell transplant. An optimal dose level is one level that provides a good blood level (concentration) of voriconazole without too much toxicity.
