Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Posaconazole Tablet in Participants at High Risk for Invasive Fungal Infections (MK-5592-065/P05615) (NCT NCT01777763)

NCT ID: NCT01777763

Last Updated: 2017-04-07

Results Overview

Posaconazole steady-state concentrations of posaconazole in the plasma reached after regular and repeated dosing were used to estimate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for each participant where Cavg was defined as area under the plasma concentration versus time curve divided by the dosing interval. Blood samples for the assessment of Cavg were collected on Day 1 and Day 8 predose and then at specified time points up to 24 hours postdose.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Predose on Day 1 up to 24 hours postdose on Day 8

Population: The Cavg PK population included participants who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, complied with protocol procedures including collection of specified PK and dosing parameters, had no major protocol violations, and had documented adherence to dosing and PK regimens through the Day 8 steady-state visit.

Posaconazole steady-state concentrations of posaconazole in the plasma reached after regular and repeated dosing were used to estimate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for each participant where Cavg was defined as area under the plasma concentration versus time curve divided by the dosing interval. Blood samples for the assessment of Cavg were collected on Day 1 and Day 8 predose and then at specified time points up to 24 hours postdose.

Population: The Cmin PK population included participants who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, complied with protocol procedures including collection of specified PK and dosing parameters, had no major protocol violations, and had documented adherence to dosing and PK regimens through the Day 8 steady-state visit.

Cmin was defined as posaconazole trough level immediately before a participant received the dose of posaconazole tablets on the specified day. Trough (Cmin) level blood samples for determination of posaconazole in plasma were collected for all participants on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 8. On Day 1, the trough level sample was collected the before the first dose of study drug. On Day 2, trough samples were collected approximately 12 hours after the second dose of study drug was administered on Day 1. On all subsequent days, trough samples were collected approximately 24 hours following the previous day's dose of study drug.
