Inclusion criteria

* Subjects of greater than or equal to 18 years of age of either sex and of any race. * Have received first peripheral blood, marrow or cord blood transplant from a family or unrelated donor for hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder.

Exclusion criteria

* Proven or probable aspergillosis or other mold infection or deep mycoses including hepatosplenic candidiasis less than 60 days from first dose of ISA. * History of allergy or intolerance to ISA. * Clinically significant elevation of liver function tests prior to the first day of dosing (FDD) that at the discretion of the treating physician would preclude the administration of an azole antifungal. * Familial short QT syndrome.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 14 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT)14 weeks post HCTClinical failure is measured by: 1. Systemic antifungal therapy for \> 14 consecutive days for suspected fungal infection up to week 14. 2. Breakthrough proven or probable fungal infection during the prophylaxis phase.\* 3. Toxicity leading to permanent discontinuation of prophylaxis 4. 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.
Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 26 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT)26 weeks post HCTClinical failure is measured by: 1.
