Sponsor:	Schering-Plough
Information provided by:	Schering-Plough
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00704951

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to determine the frequency of the use of Posaconazole in immunocompromised patients refractory to first line therapy receiving therapeutic treatment based on different pathogens in comparison to other antifungal therapy.

A further objective is to determine the frequency of the use of Posaconazole in immunocompromised patients receiving prophylactic treatment in comparison to other antifungal prophylaxis.
