Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was a prospective clinical study that all voriconazole-treated adult Chinese patients with invasive pulmonary infection admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from July 2018 to June 2023. The initial voriconazole serum trough concentration, Correlation of various factors, and risk prediction factors for voriconazole serum trough concentration and hepatotoxicity were compared between elderly and non-elderly patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective observational study was conducted from July 2018 to June 2023 in Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. This study was carried out in accordance with the following criteria: (1) patients who met the criteria for diagnosis of IFI, (2) age ≥ 18 years, (3) The duration of VCZ treatment course ≥ 7 days.

Patients were excluded who fulfilled any of the following criteria: (1) Patients who allergic to VCZ, (2) use other anti-fungal drugs during the use of VCZ, (3) do not qualify for blood sampling monitored by blood concentration, (4) pregnant or lactating women, (5) patients who haven't completely and accurately efficacy and safety data, (6) patients who are treated with a combination of liver enzyme inducers and inhibitors (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, cimetidine, rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, and so on),(7) patients who are treated with a combination of Paxlovid or Azvudine.

Grouping: Patients were divided into the elderly group (group A, ≥ 60 years) and the non-elderly group (group B, \< 60 years) according to ages. All the recruited patients were treated with voriconazole. Voriconazole was intravenously administered 2 times at the loading dose of 6 mg/Kg or orally administered 2 times at the loading dose of 400mg at 12h intervals, followed by a maintenance dose of 4 mg/Kg or 200 mg at 12 h intervals.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

the elderly group , the age ≥ 60 years

other antifungal agents,breathing machine

Intervention Type DEVICE

If treatment failure for patients in group A and group B,change other antifungal agents (Amphotericin B for Injection, 25mg, North China Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd or Caspofungin Acetate for lnjection,50mg and 70mg Cancidas®). Mechanical ventilation (EVITA 4, Dräger Medical Equipment (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd) was adopte.Treatment failure was defined as no improvement or worse of clinical symptoms, laboratory data, requiring change of antifungal agents therapy.

Group B

the non-elderly group , the age \< 60 years

other antifungal agents,breathing machine

Intervention Type DEVICE

If treatment failure for patients in group A and group B,change other antifungal agents (Amphotericin B for Injection, 25mg, North China Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd or Caspofungin Acetate for lnjection,50mg and 70mg Cancidas®). Mechanical ventilation (EVITA 4, Dräger Medical Equipment (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd) was adopte.Treatment failure was defined as no improvement or worse of clinical symptoms, laboratory data, requiring change of antifungal agents therapy.
