Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children aged 0-18 years who are prescribed isavuconazole for the treatment of invasive mycosis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are allergic to azole antifungal therapies or have conditions that may interfere with study participation will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the plasma concentration of isavuconazole in pediatric patients suffering from invasive mycosis, specifically aspergillosis and mucormycosis. The study will involve measuring blood samples taken before the next dose of the medication to determine the effective and safe plasma concentration ranges. By understanding the pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole in children, the research seeks to optimize individualized drug administration and improve treatment outcomes. The study will also evaluate the relationship between plasma concentrations and the efficacy and safety of the drug in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more effective and safer dosing of isavuconazole for children with serious fungal infections.
How similar studies have gone: While there may be studies on drug monitoring in adults, this specific focus on pediatric pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole is relatively novel.
