Variability of Isavuconazole Trough Concentrations during Longitudinal Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Archive ouverte
International audience. Isavuconazole (ISA), a triazole antifungal agent, is licensed for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a cornerstone of treatment efficacy for triazole antifungals due to their pharmacokinetic variability, except for ISA, for which the utility of TDM is still uncertain. We performed a retrospective study that aimed to assess the inter- and intra-individual variability of ISA trough concentrations (Cmin) and to identify the determinants involved in such variability. ISA Cmin measured in adult patients at the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital between January 2018 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. In total, 304 ISA Cmin for 33 patients were analyzed. The median ISA Cmin was 2.8 [25th–75th percentiles: 2.0–3.7] mg/L. The inter- and intra-individual variability was 41.5% and 30.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed independent covariate effects of dose (β = 0.004 ± 3.56 × 10−4, p < 0.001), Aspartate aminotransférase (ASAT) (β = 0.002 ± 5.41 × 10−4, p = 0.002), and protein levels (β = 0.022 ± 0.004, p < 0.001) on ISA Cmin, whereas C reactive protein levels did not show any association. This study, conducted on a large number of ISA Cmin, shows that ISA exposure exhibits variability, explained in part by the ISA dose, and ASAT and protein levels.
