Intravenous Voriconazole in Patients With Renal Compromise

June 11, 2018 updated by: University of Pittsburgh
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with compromised renal function (CrCl < 50mL/min) receiving intravenous voriconazole experienced any adverse effects related to serum chemistries or other imaging studies of the kidney due to the potential accumulation of the vehicle cyclodextran.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with compromised renal function (CrCl < 50mL/min) receiving intravenous voriconazole experienced any adverse effects related to serum chemistries or other imaging studies of the kidney due to the potential accumulation of the vehicle cyclodextran. t has been previously shown by a large multi-centered, prospective, randomized study that voriconazole is superior to the then gold standard amphotericin B in the treatment of patients with invasive aspergillosis - a disease with significant morbidity and mortality. In patients with these infections who have severe renal insufficiency may be denied the best therapy due to the accumulation of a diluent with unknown clinical consequences. Qualifying and or quantifying these consequences are important to these patients so that potentially life-threatening therapy should not be unduly denied.
