About this study

Data regarding demographics, underlying disease, prior fungal infection, prior antifungal medication, invasive fungal infection signs & symptoms, concomitant medication, posaconazole use, tolerability, safety and therapy outcome will be collected on abstracted electronic Case Report Forms.

This surveillance study was originally limited to subjects receiving posaconazole as salvage antifungal therapy as indicated. A subgroup of subjects at risk for invasive fungal infection was included for prophylactic treatment following the enlargement of the marketing authorization for NOXAFIL® (posaconazole) during the course of the study. These participants only contributed data for the assessment of safety.

  • Chromoblastomycosis and mycetoma refractory to, or intolerant of, itraconazole,
  • Coccidiomycosis refractory to, or intolerant of, amphotericin B, itraconazole or fluconazole.
  • Subjects receiving remission-induction chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) expected to result in prolonged neutropenia and who are at high risk for developing invasive fungal infections.
  • Hematopoietic stem-cell transplant (HSCT) recipients who are undergoing high-dose immunosuppressive therapy for Graft-versus-host disease and who are at high risk for developing invasive fungal infections.

Exclusion criteria

  • Comedication of the participant with ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, halofantrine, or chinidine.

Treatment and study plan

Posaconazole

Drug

The usual dose of NOXAFIL® is 400 mg twice daily (10 mL) at meals or with 240 mL of a food supplement. For patients unable to take meals or food supplements, NOXAFIL® is administered at a dose of 200 mg (5 mL) four times daily.

Other names: SCH 56592, NOXAFIL®

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions.

    Time frame: Before starting treatment with posaconazole, during treatment, and until 100 days after treatment.

    The severity of an Adverse Drug Reaction is determined on the basis of the following definitions:

    Mild: The abnormality, symptom or event is noticed but well tolerated.

    Moderate: Symptoms impair normal activities and may require intervention.

    Severe: Clinical status is significantly impaired, normal activity is no longer possible, intervention is required.
