Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of voriconazole (an antifungal drug) when used in children who have invasive aspergillosis (IA) and other rare systemic fungal infections.

Conditions

  • Invasive Aspergillosis

Interventions

DRUG

Voriconazole

All subjects will receive voriconazole for a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 12 weeks. All subjects must receive intravenous (IV) voriconazole for the first week of therapy. Group 1: Subjects 2 to 11 years old and subjects 12 to 14 years old with low body weight (\<50 kg) will receive 9 mg/kg IV every 12 hours (q12h) on day 1, then 8 mg/kg IV q12h starting day 2. If there is a significant clinical improvement after the first week of IV therapy, subjects may be switched to the step-down oral regimen (9 mg/kg PO q12h with a maximum dose of 350 mg PO q12h) at the discretion of the investigator. Group 2: Subjects 12 to 17 years old (excluding 12-14-year-olds weighing \<50 kg) will receive 6 mg/kg IV q12h on day 1, then 4 mg/kg IV q12h starting day 2. Similar to Group 1, subjects may be switched to the step-down oral regimen (200 mg PO q12h) at the discretion of the investigator. Oral voriconazole can be administered as tablet or oral suspension.
