Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Male or female patients older than 2 years with invasive fungal infections.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female patient of age 2 years or older.
  • High-risk patients with proven, probable or possible invasive fungal infection (IFI) according to the EORTC/MSG criteria.
  • Patients indicated for secondary prophylaxis of invasive aspergillosis.

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Treatment
Patients who are eligible for voriconazole treatment according to their physician decision.
Drug: voriconazole (VFEND®)
The use and dosage recommendations for voriconazole (VFEND®) will take place on the basis of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and will be adjusted solely according to medical and therapeutic necessity. The formulation and dose will be managed by the treating physician according to the SmPC, disease and clinical situation. According to the SmPC, in the adults the treatment should be started with the loading dose of 6 mg/kg of voriconazole iv. every 12 hours (during the first 24 hrs) followed by the maintenance dose of 4 mg/kg BID. For peroral formulations, the initial dose should be depending on the weight of the patient 400 mg or 200 mg BID during the first 24 hrs, followed by the maintenance dose of 200 mg or 100 mg of voriconazole BID respectively For paediatric population (<12 years of age), there is no initial dose necessary. Depending on the formulation, the daily dosage should be in children 7 mg/kg iv. BID or 200 mg of voriconazole orally BID.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Clinical and/or Mycological Efficacy by Response at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)
Clinical, mycological responses: clinical cure, clinical improvement, no clinical cure, mycological cure, no mycological cure, and no mycological culture performed. Participants could have had more than one response. Responses were based on the investigator's judgement according to the Infectious Disease Society of America, European Conference on Infections in Leukemia, and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing guidelines.
up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)
Number of Participants With Clinical and/or Mycological Efficacy by Response at the Test-of-Cure Visit
Time Frame: more than 2 weeks (Test-of-Cure visit)
Clinical, mycological responses: clinical cure, clinical improvement, no clinical cure, mycological cure, no mycological cure, no mycological culture performed, death, and lost from follow-up. Participants could have had more than one response. Responses were based on the investigator's judgement according to the Infectious Disease Society of America, European Conference on Infections in Leukemia, and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing guidelines.
more than 2 weeks (Test-of-Cure visit)
Number of Participants With Investigator's Satisfaction With the Efficacy of Voriconazole Assessment at the EOT Visit
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)
Investigator's Satisfaction Responses: very good, good, moderate, poor. Responses were based on the investigator's judgement.
up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)
Number of Participants With Investigator's Satisfaction With the Tolerability of Voriconazole Assessment at the EOT Visit
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)
Investigator's Satisfaction Responses: very good, good, moderate, poor. Responses were based on the investigator's judgement.
up to 2 weeks (EOT visit)

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 1, 2007

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
