BACKGROUND: Posaconazole (PCZ) is used mainly for the prevention of invasive fungal infection (IFI).
METHODS: A multicentre retrospective, investigational study using a non-randomized, single-arm design carried out in six tertiary hospitals in Spain to evaluate the use of PCZ in different forms of administration in the (non-prophylactic) treatment of IFI.
RESULTS: Over an eight-year-period, 67 patients were included in this study. PCZ was administered as salvage therapy (intolerant or refractory to a previous antifungal agent) in 65/67 (97%); of these, it was used against Aspergillosis (68.6%), Zygomycosis (13.4%), other moulds (8.9%) and yeast (10.5%). The median duration of PCZ therapy was 75 days. The oral solution was associated with low serum levels (<0.7 mg/L) in 63% of available patients. Clinical response at 3 and 12 months of PCZ therapy were for aspergillosis: 47.8% and 41.3%; for zygomycosis: 55.5% and 55.5%; and for other mycoses: 69.2% and 69.2%, respectively. Suspension by toxicity was only observed in 6% and 7.5% of patients at 3 and 12 months, respectively, mainly with grade III/IV elevations of liver function test (LFTs).
CONCLUSIONS: Posaconazole salvage therapy, especially oral tablets, can be an effective alternative option for patients with IFI who cannot tolerate or do not respond to other antifungal therapies.
