Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Isavuconazole prophylaxis

Intravenous or oral: Isavuconazonium sulfate 372 mg Q 8hour for 6 doses as loading dose, followed by 372 mg Q day as maintenance dose. The minimum duration of prophylaxis with isavuconazole will be through D +60. Beyond day +60 discontinuation is at the discretion of the treating physician.

Drug: Isavuconazole
Intravenous or oral: Isavuconazonium sulfate 372 mg Q 8hour for 6 doses as loading dose, followed by 372 mg Q day as maintenance dose.

  • Isavuconazonium sulfate
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 14 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT) [14 weeks post HCT]

      Clinical failure is measured by: Systemic antifungal therapy for > 14 consecutive days for suspected fungal infection up to week 14. Breakthrough proven or probable fungal infection during the prophylaxis phase.* Toxicity leading to permanent discontinuation of prophylaxis Adverse event requiring discontinuation. The prophylaxis phase was defined as the period from the first dose of isavuconazole through 7 days after discontinuation of isavuconazole.

    2. Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 26 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT) [26 weeks post HCT]

      Clinical failure is measured by: Systemic antifungal therapy for > 14 consecutive days for suspected fungal infection up to week 14. Breakthrough proven or probable fungal infection during the prophylaxis phase.* Toxicity leading to permanent discontinuation of prophylaxis Adverse event requiring discontinuation. The prophylaxis phase was defined as the period from the first dose of isavuconazole through 7 days after discontinuation of isavuconazole.
