简要总结
This study evaluates the the pharmacokinetics of posaconazole (new solid oral and IV) given as prophylaxis to patients who are at risk for developing fungal infections after receiving conditioning therapy (except strictly non-myeloablative (NMA)) for allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant (SCT), remission induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelo dysplastic syndrome (MDS) or being treated for severe graft versus host disease (GvHD) and determines the impact of mucositis on the pharmacokinetics of posaconazole new solid oral.
详细描述
In 2014, the new intravenous and solid oral formulation of posaconazole were marketed. This offers new treatment possibilities, specifically in patients previously unable to attain adequate exposure to posaconazole solution. To the opinion of the researchers, only limited data are available on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the new formulations of posaconazole, however, these use strictly selected patients or healthy volunteers, but more importantly, specific aspects related to the PK remain unsolved. Despite the fact that adequate exposure is attained using the new solid oral formulation, it is hypothesized that oral bioavailability of posaconazole may be impacted during mucositis. Whether mucosal barrier injury impacts the absorption of posaconazole or alters presystemic clearance is still unknown. Therefore, it seems prudent to conduct a trial in a group of patients that will experience a severe degree of mucositis to identify changes in absorption of posaconazole and resolving the impact of various stages of mucositis on the PK of posaconazole by linking PK of posaconazole to markers of mucositis (citrulline). This research may also serve as a model for other drugs and allows for direct translations in improving patient care. For this purpose it is needed to determine the PK using both IV and PO dosing of posaconazole.

主要结局
exposure to posaconazole (Area Under the Curve) when administered intravenously and orally (tablet formulation)
时间窗: day 7, day 12 and day 16
Plasma samples drawn on t=0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1 (just prior to end of infusion), 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18 and 24 hours post infusion or post intake will be taken op day 7, day 12 and day 16 to determine posaconazole concentrations. Area Under the Curve of two routes of administration and two dosing regimens will be determined.
impact of mucositis (determined by citrulline concentrations) on exposure (AUC) to posaconazole.
时间窗: day 7, day 12 and day 16
Full pharmacokinetic curve (plasma samples drawn on t=0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1 (just prior to end of infusion), 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18 and 24 hours post infusion or post intake) will be taken op day 7, day 12 and day 16 (posaconazole). Impact of mucositis on oral absorption will be determined by comparing AUCs after intravenous administration with oral (tablet) administration in patients with mucositis.
