Software for dosage individualization of voriconazole for immunocompromised patients.
The efficacy of voriconazole is potentially compromised by considerable pharmacokinetic variability. There are increasing insights into voriconazole concentrations that are safe and effective for treatment of invasive fungal infections. Therapeutic drug monitoring is increasingly advocated. Software to aid in the individualization of dosing would be an extremely useful clinical tool. We develop...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and safety of voriconazole following intravenous- to oral-dose escalation regimens.
In this study, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (i.v.)- to oral-dose regimens of voriconazole were evaluated with a group of 42 healthy men, 41 of whom completed the study. Two cohorts of subjects participated in the study. Cohort 1 (n = 28) took part in two study periods, each consisting of 14 days separated by a minimum 7-day washout. In one of the periods, 14 sub...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and safety of intravenous voriconazole in children after single- or multiple-dose administration.
We conducted a multicenter study of the safety, tolerability, and plasma pharmacokinetics of the parenteral formulation of voriconazole in immunocompromised pediatric patients (2 to 11 years old). Single doses of 3 or 4 mg/kg of body weight were administered to six and five children, respectively. In the multiple-dose study, 28 patients received loading doses of 6 mg/kg every 12 h on day 1, fol...
متن کاملIndividualization of the subcutaneous amifostine dose during hypofractionated / accelerated radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND Individualization of the daily dose of amifostine may prove of value in achieving maximum cytoprotection during radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using an algorithm based on: i) the gradual increase of the amifostine dose, ii) an amifostine tolerance-recording scale and iii) the intermittent administration of dexamethasone, the individualization of the subcutaneous amifostine dose...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics In Dose Individualization In Diabetes, Psychiatry, Cancer And Cardiology
Following administration of any medication, it is not always possible to predict its effects in the individual patient. Due to the major inter-individual variability in response to pharmacotherapy, in some patients, adverse drug reactions or therapeutic failure instead of therapeutic success are observed. The list of possible factors contributing to the individual drug response involves e.g. ag...
