About this study
Official title: Isavuconazole in Critically Ill Patients: A Study on Antifungal Efficacy and Safety
Due to factors such as disease status, gastrointestinal conditions, commonly used medications (e.g., vasopressors), and cardiac output, the plasma concentration of isavuconazole in critically ill patients may differ from that in healthy individuals, exhibiting significant variability.
This study aims to explore the variability of isavuconazole plasma concentrations in critically ill patients and its correlation with efficacy and adverse effects. The research includes:
- The distribution and variability of isavuconazole plasma concentrations in critically ill patients;
- Clinical outcomes;
- Adverse effects.
- Conditions
- Fungal Infection, Aspergillosis, Mucormycosis
- Being tested
- Isavuconazole treatment
- Medical subject headings
- Mycoses, Aspergillosis, Mucormycosis
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Isavuconazole treatmentDrug
Administer isavuconazole as follows: Loading dose: 200 mg every 8 hours (q8h) for three times, Maintenance dose: 200 mg once daily (qd)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Isavuconazole group | Critically ill patients who meet the indicated conditions per the prescribing information, administer isavuconazole as follows: Loading dose: 200 mg every 8 hours (q8h) for three times, Maintenance dose: 200 mg once daily (qd) Receives: Drug: Isavuconazole treatment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Radiological Progress in Pulmonary Fungal Infections
A chest CT uses X-ray tomography, where the patient lies on a table while the machine rotates to capture cross-sectional images
Measured: At treatment day 42
Plasma concentration
Venous blood samples were collected, centrifuged to obtain supernatant, and concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Measured: On or after day 7 post-dose
Change in immune function profiles (cellular and humoral immunity markers)
Specific immune markers (e.g., CD4+/CD8+ counts, immunoglobulin levels, or cytokine profiles) will be selected based on emerging evidence or preliminary data prior to finalizing the statistical analysis plan.
Measured: Enrollment (Baseline) → Treatment Day 42
Composite infection biomarker profile (including PCT, CRP, IL-6 and WBC)
The assessment of infection progression is conducted through a comprehensive scoring system as follows:
Infection Biomarker Score (0-8 points) based on:
- PCT >0.5 ng/mL (2 point)
- CRP >10 mg/L (1 point)
- IL-6 >30 pg/mL (2 point)
- WBC >10×10⁹/L (3 point)
Measured: Enrollment (Baseline) → Treatment Day 42
Secondary outcomes (2)
Electrocardiogram QT Interval
A 6-lead ECG was performed.
Measured: On day 10 post-dose
Composite liver function outcome (including ALT, AST, bilirubin, ALP, and albumin).
Hepatic function will be assessed using a composite scoring system (0-10 points) incorporating:
ALT elevation >3×ULN (2 points) AST elevation >3×ULN (2 points) Total bilirubin >2×ULN (3 points)
- ALP >2×ULN (2 points)
- Albumin <3.0 g/dL (1 point)
Measured: From enrollment (Day 0) through Treatment Day 42
