Real World Posaconazole Pharmacokinetic Data in Paediatric Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Invasive fungal disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) recipients. Posaconazole, a broad-spectrum triazole, is widely used as prophylaxis. Methods: We conducted a monocentric, retrospective study to present real-world data on posaconazole trough levels in paediatric alloHSCT patients. The main objective was to determine the required daily dose of posaconazole in paediatric patients. We analysed factors influencing posaconazole levels, and the association between posaconazole levels and breakthrough fungal infection. Results: Among 102 allogeneic HSCT recipients, we measured posaconazole plasma concentrations in 548 blood samples. The required daily doses to reach a target range o
