pharmacokinetics and safety data of voriconazole in immunocompromised adolescents

Brief summary

This study is designed to collect additional pharmacokinetic and safety data of voriconazole in immunocompromised adolescents receiving intravenous and oral voriconazole. This will help establish voriconazole dosing recommendations for adolescents.

Interventions

DRUGVoriconazole

Voriconazole will be used for prophylaxis purpose. 6 mg/kg IV q12h on the first day (Day 1) and 4 mg/kg IV q12h for at least 5.5 days. The IV treatment is no more than 20 days. Then switch to 300 mg oral tablets q12h for at least 6.5 days. The total treatment duration is no more than 30 days.

Voriconazole intravenous (IV) loading dose (6 mg/kg) was administered in the morning and evening on Day 1, and the IV maintenance dose (4 mg/kg) was administered in the morning and evening on Days 2 to 7 (up to Day 20 if clinically indicated). The oral maintenance dosing regimen (300 mg every 12 hours or 150 mg every 12 hours if subject weighed less than 40 kg) was administered following voriconazole IV and lasted 6.5 days (up to Day 30 if clinically indicated).
