Study summary

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:

  1. The distribution and variability of isavuconazole plasma concentrations in critically ill patients;
  2. Clinical outcomes;
  3. Adverse effects.

In context

Mycoses

260 studies on the registry are indexed under Mycoses; 37 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 75 is below the median of 153 across 85 observational studies indexed under Mycoses.

Study population

Adult ICU patients meeting criteria for isavuconazole therapy according to the '2023 Isavuconazole Clinical Expert Consensus'

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult critically ill patients (≥18 years) admitted to ICU with suspected or confirmed invasive fungal infection (IFI)
  • IFI diagnosis per EORTC/MSGERC 2019 criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Drug allergy
  • Inherited short syndrome
  • for nasogastric/oral drug delivery
  • \<18 years old
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Groups and cohorts

  • Isavuconazole group

    Drug: Isavuconazole treatment

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 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

    Time frame: At treatment day 42

  2. Plasma concentration

    Venous blood samples were collected, centrifuged to obtain supernatant, and concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

    Time frame: On or after day 7 post-dose

  3. 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.

    Time frame: Enrollment (Baseline) → Treatment Day 42

  4. 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)

    Time frame: Enrollment (Baseline) → Treatment Day 42

Secondary outcomes

  1. Electrocardiogram QT Interval

    A 6-lead ECG was performed.

    Time frame: On day 10 post-dose

  2. 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)

    Time frame: From enrollment (Day 0) through Treatment Day 42

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Aug 2025; primary completion for Dec 2029, 52 months later.

Of 28 observational studies under Mycoses, half reached primary completion within 39 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17. This study's planned 52 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 23, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
