What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  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.

    Time frame: 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.

    Time frame: 26 weeks post HCT
