About
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and Population Pharmacokinetics of Oral Posaconazole in Children with leukemia.
Full description
Posaconazole as a new triazole antifungal agent with broad spectrum coverage, was recommended for prophylaxis of invasive fungal disease in adults. Some studies have demonstrated the relationship between posaconazole plasma concentration and efficacy and few data have been published in children with leukemia.The purpose of this study is to describe the off-label use of posaconazole oral suspensions in children;to figure out the relationship between concentration and clinical outcomes/ adverse events;to identify factors that influence plasma concentration.
