A Study To Evaluate The Safety Of Voriconazole As Treatment Of Invasive Aspergillosis (Fungal Infection) And Other Rare Molds In Children
A Prospective, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Study To Investigate The Safety And Tolerability Of Voriconazole As Primary Therapy For Treatment Of Invasive Aspergillosis And Molds Such As Scedosporium Or Fusarium Species In Pediatric Patients

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.

Interventional
Phase 3
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Invasive Aspergillosis
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.
Experimental: 1
