- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Investigation of the protein binding characteristics of voriconazole in human plasma.;Secondary Objective: Comparison of the protein binding characteristics of voriconazole in plasma in different patient populations.;Primary end point(s): Protein binding characteristics of voriconazole in human plasma: percentage of binding, influence of albumine or alfa-1-acid glycoprotein levels in plasma, influence of bilirubin levels and other confounding factors.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 plasma sample and 1 serum sample will be taken during one day per patient, at least 4 days after start of voriconazole therapy to insure steady state plasmalevels of voriconazole.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Influence of age, weight, pathology, laboratory parameters of different patients on the protein binding characteristics of voriconazole.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 plasma sample and 1 serum sample will be taken during one day per patient, at least 4 days after start of voriconazole therapy to insure steady state plasmalevels of voriconazole.
