MT2013-37R: Voriconazole Monitoring in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximum tolerated, minimum efficacious dose for 3 different pediatric age groups [Seven days after starting voriconazole]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation of initial dose of voriconazole with voriconazole blood concentration in 3 different pediatric age groups [After starting voriconazole: Day 5, between Days 12-15, between Days 19-22]
- Correlation of voriconazole dose with elevations to 5 times the upper limit of normal in liver enzymes [After starting voriconazole: Twice a week Days 1-30 and 1 week after the last dose of voriconazole ~ Day 35-42]
- Incidence of fungal infection [6-month period after transplant]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Any patient undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (either 1st or subsequent)
-
Age ≤ 21 years
-
Adequate organ function within 14 days of enrollment, i.e. Creatinine: < 1.5 x ULN and Hepatic: ALT, AST and total bilirubin < 3 x ULN
-
Requires voriconazole to prevent or treat invasive fungal infection after undergoing stem cell transplantation
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Has received voriconazole within 5 days prior to starting study therapy
-
History of hypersensitivity or severe intolerance to azoles
-
History, or current evidence, of cardiac arrhythmias defined as QTc ≥ 480 mm/sec
-
Receiving the following drugs and cannot be discontinued at least 24 hours before starting therapy: pimozide, quinidine, astemizole, ergot alkaloids.
-
Received one or more of the following drugs within 14 days prior to starting study, as they are potent inducers of hepatic microsomal enzymes: rifampin, rifabutin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, nevirapine, long-acting barbiturates.
-
Received sirolimus within the 14 days prior to starting study as voriconazole is a potent inhibitor of sirolimus metabolism
-
Receiving or anticipated need for methadone as co-administration with voriconazole potentially increases methadone exposure
