Isavuconazole prophylaxisExperimentalIntravenous or oral: Isavuconazonium sulfate 372 mg Q 8hour for 6 doses as loading dose, followed by 372 mg Q day as maintenance dose.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 14 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT)

    Clinical 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.

    Measured: 14 weeks post HCT

  2. Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 26 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT)

    Clinical 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.

    Measured: 26 weeks post HCT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Isavuconazole in people with Hematologic Malignancy and Myeloproliferative Disorder, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 16 May 2025. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Clinical Failure of Isavuconazole Prophylaxis by Week + 14 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT) (time frame: 14 weeks post HCT). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 May 2025.
