BACKGROUND: Isavuconazole, administered as isavuconazonium sulfate (ISAVUSULF), is a broad-spectrum triazole agent for the treatment of invasive fungal disease. In phase 3 studies, ISAVUSULF showed comparable efficacy to voriconazole and amphotericin B for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis (IA)...

Posaconazole (POS) appears to have dose-proportional pharmacokinetics; however, there is a paucity of real-life data. We retrospectively evaluated 67 patients with hematologic cancer who had POS dose increases from 300 mg/day to either 400 mg/day (

BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests that the intestinal microbiome may dramatically affect the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Providing 16S ribosomal RNA based microbiome characterization in a clinically actionable time frame is currently problematic. Thus, determination of...
