- Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isavuconazole in plasma: Cmax at steady state [ Time Frame: Up to 7 days ]Maximum concentration at steady state (Cmax) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: AUCtau [ Time Frame: Up to 7 days ]Area under the concentration time curve from the time of dosing to the start of next dosing interval at multiple dose conditions (AUCtau) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: tmax [ Time Frame: Up to 7 days ]Time of maximum concentration (tmax) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: Ctrough [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Concentration - trough level (Ctrough) will be derived from the PK plasma samples collected.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: CL [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Clearance (CL) will be model-derived.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: Vss [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) will be model-derived.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: AUCss [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Area under the concentration-time curve at steady state (AUCss) will be model-derived.
- PK of isavuconazole in plasma: t 1/2 [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Half-life (t1/2) will be model-derived.
- Safety assessed by nature, frequency and severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 58 days ]A TEAE is defined as an Adverse Event (AE) observed after starting administration of the study drug through follow-up. AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Number of patients with TEAE's will be summarized.
- Number of patients with vital sign abnormalities and/or adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]An abnormality identified during a medical test (e.g. vital signs) should be defined as an AE only if the abnormality meets 1 of the following criteria: induces clinical signs or symptoms; requires active intervention; requires interruption or discontinuation of study drug; or the abnormality or test value is clinically significant.
- Number of patients with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]An abnormality identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory parameter) should be defined as an AE only if the abnormality meets 1 of the following criteria: induces clinical signs or symptoms; requires active intervention; requires interruption or discontinuation of study drug; or the abnormality or test value is clinically significant.
- Safety assessed by routine 12- lead electrocardiogram (ECG) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Standard 12-lead ECG recordings will be used for the purposes of safety assessment. A 12-lead, resting ECG is to be recorded. Patients should remain supine for at least 5 minutes prior to all ECGs being performed. The results (normal, abnormal not clinically significant, abnormal clinically significant) are to be recorded.
