Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Describe the pharmacokinetic profile of oral isavuconazole at the bronchopulmonary level through the degree of penetration into the epithelial lining fluid and the alveolar macrophages in patients receiving lung transplants diagnosed with invasive fungal disease.;Secondary Objective: - Establish the relationship between the pulmonary and systemic exposure of Isavuconazole. - To evaluate the potential pharmacokinetic interaction of Isavuconazole with immunosuppressive drugs (tacrolimus and mycophenolate). This interaction will be studied in the steady state of the drugs evaluated. - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of Isavuconazole.;Primary end point(s): Isovuconazole Penetration in Lung The concentrations of isavuconazole in plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and in alveolar macrophages (CA) will be determined by reverse phase HPLC (RP-HPLC). - Serum isavuconazole levels. Four determinations will be made per patient: 72 hours after the start of treatment, the day of bronchoscopy, simultaneously with the BAL and 7 days after the start of treatment. - Levels of isavuconazole in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and in alveolar macrophages (CA), will be obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Data from the cell count, percentage of alveolar cells and volume of cell lining fluid will be presented at the different times when bronchoscopy is performed. The volume of cell lining fluid will be estimated using the concentration of urea in plasma and in LBA from the following formula: Estimated ELF volume = Amount of total UREA in LBA (mg) / plasma UREA concentration (mg / mL) The AUC of isavuconazole will be estimated at the ELF level and in CAs. The concentration-time-dependent curves in ELF and CA will be calculated using non-compartmental analyzes. The ratio between ELF / plasma and CA / plasma will be estimated from the average of the values ??of the patients included in each group.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 72 hours after the s | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Interaction Evaluation: Tacrolimus and mycophenolate concentrations will be determined before and after 72 hours, 96 hours and 7 days after the start of treatment with isavuconazole. The percentage of patients who required dose adjustment of the immunosuppressive drug after the start of treatment with isavuconazole will be determined. Systemic Security Assessment: According to the recommendations of the EMA (EMA / CPMP / EWP / 280/96 Corr1), systemic safety will be assessed according to the record of adverse effects, physical examination of patients, and the result of analytical studies;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable | — |
