King's Invasive Aspergillosis Study II

April 1, 2020 updated by: King's College Hospital NHS Trust

Incidence of Invasive Fungal Disease in Patients Receiving Immunosuppressive Therapy, Intensive Chemotherapy or Reduced Intensity Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation on Posaconazole Prophylaxis

Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy or transplantation.

This current study aims to assess the impact of prophylactically using the broad-spectrum anti-fungal agent posaconazole on the incidence of IFD in high risk patients with aplastic anaemia and those undergoing intensive chemotherapy, for example for acute myeloid leukaemia, and allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
