Official title
Micafungin Anti-Fungal Prophylaxis in Immunocompromised Pediatric Patients: A Pharmacokinetic Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the pharmacokinetics (the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body) of micafungin when it is given at 5mg/kg dose to immunocompromised children as anti-fungal prophylaxis. These children are at high risk for developing invasive fungal disease due to their compromised immunity and associated variable degree and duration of neutropenia. Currently, children who receive micafungin are given daily or alternate day dosing. The investigators will give a ONE TIME dose of micafungin and draw PK levels up to 96 hours post-infusion. The investigators goal is to obtain comparable micafungin drug concentrations at the end of 96 hours (4 days) as compared to lower dose at every 24 hour dosing. The investigators dosing proposal is likely to be effective prophylaxis for immunocompromised patients and would broaden its applicability to larger populations.
