About this study
Official title: Define the Pharmacokinetics of Oral Voriconazole in Children With Extensive Gastrointestinal Graft Versus Host Disease
Determine how much voriconazole is absorbed when the product is given by mouth to children with extensive graft versus host disease after a stem cell transplantation and determine the correct dosing of voriconazole in this population.
Hypothesis: Children with gastrointestinal graft versus host disease will have decreased absorption of oral voriconazole and require higher doses of voriconazole in order to prevent or treat fungal infections.
Read the detailed description
Disseminated fungal infections are a leading cause of mortality in children who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Therefore, children routinely receive prophylactic and empirical antifungal therapy after SCT. The most commonly used antifungal agent in this population is voriconazole. Voriconazole can be given via intravenous or oral routes and children who are post SCT are routinely switched from the intravenous to oral formulation at the time of hospital discharge. However, the absorption and systemic exposure of oral voriconazole has not been well-described in children. Furthermore, many children who undergo transplantation develop gastrointestinal graft versus host disease and this likely impacts oral absorption. The magnitude of effect resulting from graft versus host disease on absorption of voriconazole and subsequent blood concentrations in children is unknown. Thus children with graft versus host disease are at a particularly high risk of inadequate absorption with subsequent sub-therapeutic levels of voriconazole. They may need higher or more frequent dosing to achieve therapeutic levels. The purpose of my research project is to define the pharmacokinetics of oral voriconazole and establish dosing guidelines in children following SCT.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing voriconazole in people with Graft Versus Host Disease and Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Phillip Brian Smith at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Reduced bioavailability of oral voriconazole in pediatric patients status post stem cell transplantation with gastrointestinal graft versus host disease (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Sep 2018.
