Measure
Voriconazole
All subjects received voriconazole as study medication for prophylaxis, for a minimum of 100 days after transplant. Subjects received an intravenous (IV; 6 mg/kg)) or oral (PO; 400 mg) loading dose every 12 hours (q12h) for 2 doses, followed by maintenance (i.e., prophylactic) doses of 4 mg/kg IV q12h or 200 mg PO q12h, if the subject weighed ≥40 kg. If the subject weighed \<40 kg, the PO loading dose was 200 mg PO q12h for 2 doses, followed by maintenance doses of 100 mg PO q12h.
