Abstract:
We sought in this case-control retrospective study to compare posaconazole and isavuconazole (PCZ and IVC, respectively) plasma trough concentration (Ctrough) levels in high-risk allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients who received letermovir (LET) or not. PCZ/IVC Ctrough levels were not found to be significantly different between cases and controls, as they were 1.31 mg/liter (median) (interquartile range [IQR], 0.90) versus 1.36 mg/liter (IQR, 1.16) (P = 0.31) and 3.20 mg/liter (IQR, 2.40) versus 2.35 mg/liter (IQR, 1.50) (P = 0.17), respectively. In conclusion, we observed PCZ/IVC Ctrough levels within the expected range and no significant effect of LET coadministration.
